Title: Elford turbo oil pipe
Post by: Don Pamponi on July 09, 2004, 06:30:26 PM
Hi folks

Can any one advise me on this?  Just fitted an elford turbo kit, but the oil feed braided hose from the block to the turbo is split.

Demon Tweeks say they can make a new one but it will have to be smaller by 1.5mm ID.  4tse instead of 5tse, or something.

Will it have enough flow, or will I kill my turbo?

I know its a long shot, but im just really want the bugger back on the road where it belongs.

Any advice will be greatfully received

take the hose to a local hydraulic parts dealer and tell them what the hose is for and let them make you a replacement, they will be cheaper than Deemon Tweeks and will probably be able to sort out the correct size.

as above,  dont know about kent, but there is a company called Abbey hose in Barking who are excellent and will make it while you wait. Also Pirtek are a national \'pipe\' place, there is one in leytonstone and one in harlow, should you find yourself in this neck of the woods.
