well i heard back from earl's fittings today and after talking to them 3-4 times on the phone, digital pictures and exact thread measurements. Lloyd who has been very helpful told me they dont make the oil fitting. maybe its somthing that is a japan only part, or a custom job they did but, that he has nothing anywhere that has the restrictor hole. soooo i guess i gotta call apexi usa again today. i think this time i will ask for apexi japan contact info. hahahaha you guys who said the apexi single turbo couldnt get rebuilt in the states werent kidding. i cant even get the oil fitting in the states. i miss my baby

 

Don't you just love that BS?! I'm sort in the same fix as you I can't my Fu&*)&^ tranny mount to work. Really starting to tick me off.

 

can you get one without the restrictor, and put the restrictor in somewhere else?

I like what Mike said. Just get the regular fitting with out the restrictor hole. Then buy a socket head pipe plug, drill it out to the size you need for the orifice. Drill/tap the earls fitting, thread the pipe plug into the fitting. Bing! done.

 

earl doesnt make that metric thread size so i cant even do that......damn those japanese with their metric system......or maybe damn america with its stupid standard sizes.....the rest of the world uses metric why cant we!!!!!

 

i know, i hate standard stuff



mike

 

Why don't you just drill and retap the hole to an available size. Thats way easier then all the bullshit they are putting you through.

 

He probably doesn't want metal shavings in his turbo.



BTW, nice avatar :bigthumg:

 

What size thread is in the turbo?

 

If it's a banjo style like my TD07 is you can do what I did here. It was pretty simple. Just drill/tap the end of the bolt and thread in the socket head pipe plug.
