can anyone point me in the right direction for some braided oil feed n return lines for T3 turbo b18c4 engine ?? Seems it's gunna be cheaper to get parts for my turbo conversion than buy full package
 
Try tour local hydraulic hose supplier, they're a lot cheaper than you'd think:)).
 
Well I've seen some lines that are good n not to expensive, with the adapter for the sump, BUT do I need an adapter plate that fits the oil filter ??
 
Depends on where you plan to take your oil feed from?
 
What options can u have for where I take the oil from to feed the turbo
 
You've got the oil pressure switch and a sandwich plate are the common two.

A simple T piece in the oil pressure switch would work fine.
 
This one always gets me thinking as no matter where you take the feed from its always going to be unfiltered oil. I'd go for a t piece man. Tried and tested and cheap.

Can't quite remember but I think the mains see unfiltered oil aswell?
 
You may well be spot on there mate. Got an ek9 in for an engine rebuild and this...
 
Nice!
Crank damaged bad or ?
 
5 and 4 or 1 and 2 mains?
 
Badly scored, it's at the machine shop now, may be ground or may be replaced.

Thats 1/2 man but they were all equally bad.
 
Ah OK. Wasn't a pressure issues then
 
Nah man similar wear on them all, bores were also in a bad way. Was very smoky.
 
I think it's just down to a hard life, poor maintenance and just general wear on the engine.
