hey guys i have a E15et in my 1000 ute and ive got a new manifold made and a T25g now. only prob is that because the turbo has moved my oil feed doesnt reach. all i need is about 200mm long extention. how do i go about this? the hydraulic place couldnt give me a price on making one, they said it could be over $100 but i can get a whole new one of ebay for around the $70 mark but all i need is a extention no more than a foot long. any ideas?

Matt, it would be cheaper to get the one off ebay or wrecker hunt.... what size is it, I may have enough fittings here to make you up a braided one with reusable fittings but will be about $70 worth of bits anyway? The expense is the fittings really so your extension will end up being the same price as a whole new hose.

The turbo oil feed contains high pressure. It needs to be good quality or you will end up with a fire.

This is not a section of the engine that a 'band-aid solution' can be applied without a fair bit of risk.

I'd definitely recommend a new hose. You'll never need to replace it, and if it's flexible, you can use it again if you move the turbo location in the future.

braided hose is still rubber inside
why are all factory turbo lines solid steel?
save $100 and burn your car to the ground?
its only steel pipe,cut it, extend it, weld it and pressure test it

Do not use braided line warning.

Stainless steel flexible one with grooves, save you in the
long run from engine turbo and engine failure.

Please put pics up of the engine mount on the drivers
side as this engine has stumped many on how to run the mounts.

The lightest 1000 with a compact lil e15et beast great choice.

When using rx-7 based turbos on hemis some time back, the fitting that 'fed' the turbo was a solid pipe that a hose went into. To adapt it, the pipe was cut and a male flanged fitting was silver soldered on there, and then 'ordinary' copper pipe was used (actually used some leftover pipe from an lpg conversion). Nothing more fancy than a single flare (important not to even attempt to double flare copper, it'll work harden and crack almost instantly) and nuts to suit.

diagram(s) on request, but the whole thing cost around $25 - and copper pipe will have no dramas (it handles at least 3 times the pressure as any oil line holds when used on lpg setups) it also has the advantage of being easy enough to bend/shape to suit the application / layout as required.
