I'm trying to fit a Harvey Smith TD05 20g to my 2.5 conversion and was wondering about the size of the hole in the banjo bolt at the block.
I was running a vf24 as standard (98 V4 STI Type R). Is it ok to use the original banjo bolt as the hole is very small like a pin hole or do i need a different one as the 20G is a bigger turbo?
Also i'm having trouble fitting as the metal coolant hose is hitting the block and is a different setup pointing to towards the front of the car compared to my vf24 hose which curved back under the turbo, I would have to re-route and fit a new longer rubber hose. Is this normal?
cheers

The banjo bolt is from my original 2.0l setup. I'm building my 2.5 and am now at the stage of fitting the turbo on but worried about the hole size for the oil supply.

So you got the original banjo bolt with a braided line on it? If the hole on the banjo bolt is like 3-4mm i think it should be fine to use.
ive bent it but dont want to go anymore as its starting to stress. ive started to grind a bit off the block so it will fit but if you know where to get a new one can you let me know? You are talking about the metal coolant pipe lol ?

Yes man, had headache on fitting the MD plus a 20G on a RA, so telling you with experience.
how did you go about getting them to sort one out for you?
Just took the pipe to them & they modded it slighly so it sits at an angle. Decent & very helpful. You can mod it yourself but just be careful it dont break.
Or
Just drop a Harvey a PM, he will know much more as its his turbo.
Same here ive also got a 20g but no oil / warer pipes with it just the turbo
Its geting fited to my type r with a 2.5 hybrid in it, just i havent got the banjo or lines with it . Where could i buy all the parts to fit it ??? Thanx
