Title: Turbo oil feed??
Post by: Grant Monkhouse on January 22, 2013, 04:54:54 PM
Stupid question, and I\'m ashamed I don\'t know the answer, but where does the turbo oil feed come from? Does it come from the plates?? If so which one and where? Iv got 2nd gen plates.

I know where the return feed goes, I\'m not that stupid. Much appreciated.

mine on rew plates comes off the front plate near where the PS mounts at the top of the plate on the edge

Cheers, looks threaded so can get a good AN fitting in there. I was thinking it was a water feed for some reason!!

That\'s the one I use as well but that doesn\'t look like its ever been used, so might be bunged with them being 2nd Gen.

Thats the right one Grant.
Its a turbo front plate which all turbo rotary front plates have.
Check if turbo needs a restrictor to the oil feed in the line.

It is threaded - I\'ll try and find the thread size - it\'s on one of my build threads, plus it was on Bish\'s 1st gen project post.
 
Found it - 16mm x 1.5   - I used an AN-4 Adapator, which is about right for an oil feed line.

Thank Carl:Thumbsup! Just checking on the Restrictor now, I have found a few threads saying if I use AN4 braided hose no Restrictor needed, if bigger then I need a Restrictor. I will contact AET to confirm this though.
