thank guys, welders goin good rear end still only tac'd up gonna completely weld everything once its pulled down, didnt even ask the engineer about the fuel cell?? to many f*@#ing rule!
robdog dunno who made em mate cut em out of the donor ute.
havent had much time to work on the ute started working on the fuel system lines etc still a way to go















exhaust cut out dunno how im gonna make this fit!!

hi guys
I'm starting to work out what i need to make up the oil lines to the turbo.im running a garrett turbo which has two tags on it "GT3071R" and "GT2835-56T".What i was planning on doing was removing the standard oil feed block from the motor and getting a fitting from the block to -4 AN then run to the turbo inlet with braid.
What i cant find is a fitting to suit the thread in the engine block once i've removed the standard elbow. ive tried 1/8" NPT which is tappered thread, didnt work. Can someone advise me if its a metric or imperial thread? i was thinking 1/8 BSP or M10 x 1mm??
Another thing im not to sure about is that the original elbow has a restrictor in it. Because im removing that fitting do i still have to run a restrictor at the turbo inlet? turbo is ball bearing.

Last one is ive purchased a turbo inlet fitting which is a male inverted flare 7/16" -24 short. it threads well into the turbo inlet but seem to reach the seat in the turbo after just 2 - 2.5 turns. it seem to be sealing good but the fitting seems to stick out a fair bit? has anyone encounted this before? different fitting or leave it as is?


any advive is greatly appreciate guys

cheers
Rob

looks good shoota,
spewing about the upside down one... you gonna be able to get the locking nut and seat off? pretty sure the thread stops a couple of mm before the end?
cutting it off isnt an option?
