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

The threads on the turbo will be metric
The thread off the oil pump outlet for feed is probably BSP... which I think is 28 threads per inch... and NPT is 27
Usually they pretty much interchange
The catalogues I have say the thread for the oil pressure switch on a CA18 in an EXA is 1/8 gas
You'd think Nissan would use metric threads... but not always the case
Though I have no CA experience so just going on L and A series info here
