I went to a local speed shop to get a inverted flared metric adapter to AN 4 and no luck. They looked thru their catalogs of earl's, russel, and auroequip and nothing.



Where can I find this thing. I'm try to put my turbo on and this is the last thing tha's holding me up. I have a line with male an ends and the side goign to the stock oil line from the block is the problem.

Here are a few pics of what i'm trying to say.

Why don't you weld a -4 male steel bung to the stock pipe? I have the adapter you need, but only 1(for my car). I got it from a place called Moreland Hose on Long Island.

You have the welded adapter or the threaded adapter?



Not a bad idea. Show me pics or something. lol

I have the threaded adapter. Earls makes the steel bungs. I used those when making my return line. I welded a -10 bung to a stock oil return pipe flange.

Yes, a -4 line with an adapter connected to the stock line. They're closed right now, but I can try to find the number later on. I'll probably be in that neighborhood in a few days. If you'd like I can bring mine there and have them give me an extra. Then we'll work something out.

A short fix i can do is take the stock line from teh stock turbo and carefully bend it to the new turbo. it has the same flange and bold pattern

The guy that I bought the turbo from found his old oil line from the block with the adapters on. It is actually 2 adapters going from metric to AN then to the correct size of 4AN. I'm just going to loose my appt. oh well.



I wonder if the plumbing store have anythin for this? hmm

What's the thread of the bolt that goes into the front housing? If you can get an adapter from that to AN you're all set. It may be something like 1/4" NPT, but I'm not sure.
