I have no ******* idea how to measure it... But, I know the bolt HEAD size... But need to know what size thread it is... 16.1mm?



Anybody have a friggin clue what I'm talking about?



The front right corner of the block is the hollow bolt for the stock twins oil supply. What's the damn pattern so I can find a metric to AN adapter SOMEWHERE... I know it's out there....



Thanks. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

I assume you want to run a braided line from the engine direct to the turbo and eliminate the stock steel line????

Here is the one I have that I use, this one is a spare, the only thing is it uses a large AN fitting either -8 or -10. In comparison most people use -6 fittings for the upgraged fuel rails and on their fuel regulators.



If you can use it, you can have it. Otherwise theese are the "earl's " part #'s



For a -4AN adaptor use 9919BFGERL

For a -6AN adaptor use 9919DFGERL



Oh and the thread size is 12mm X 1.5 https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

9BASE3 10-09-2003 08:42 PM

I don't get it... I've been through the WHOGE Summit catalog... All over the internet and couldn't find it... You just HAPPEN to have a spare!! LMFAO!



I am running a single braided line and eliminating the stock steel line... I'm using -4, but there are adapters to move down from -6 to -4... Let me see if I can squeeze one in my order (As the adapter for -6 to -4 is the same price I'd imagine..)



Thanks you SO MUCH for looking that up for me. YOU'RE THE MAN!!!!



I'll let you know if I need it!

Shouldn't you also put some kind of restrictor in the feed line to reduce the pressure to the turbo? That way you don't blow the seals out and make it smoke.

usually the turbo comes with a restrictor built in to the fitting on the turbo. Usually..... if not, you need one or like justin said KABOOM



No prolem on the fitting info. After doing my car over the past winter my head is filled with useless knowledge on custome type **** like that.

emjack on the other forum needs one... Maybe you can sell it to him? I was going to put together 2 of them and sell one to him.. But hell, if you have extra...

Another alternative...



I just cut the banjo fitting from the stock line and tapped it. I used a counter-sink bit to make some room for an o-ring and loc-tighted a -3 to -3 steel adapter in there.



Few more pics here:

That's fancy too!



I also know you can drill and tap the stock bolt (from the top), put a sleeve around the sides and put a 1/8 -4AN fitting on there too... I have one of those currently... Just wanted all the cute **** to match my fuel fittings. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

9BASE3 10-11-2003 10:53 AM

Here's the list. About 70 dollars (Just as rxrotary2_7 told me https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR .. )



AER-FCM2002 x1 -4 AN - 1/4NPT male connector



AER-FCM1021 x2 45 deg -4AN elbow



AER-FCA0403 x1 3 feet -4AN steel braidid line



EAR-9919BFG x1 12 x 1.5mm -4AN Adapter





Dat be all da **** you need from Summit. They are very cool and easy to work with. The 12 x 1.5mm adapter is special order... So get that one from ANPLUMBING.COM

How do you put together the fittings on the line? A how-to would be great.
