(Cheaper) Oil Filter Housing Turbo Feed Line Kit
Hey EvoM,

I wanted to put together a turbo feed line kit, but didn't want to pay the price of FP's, so I made my own FOR HALF THE PRICE, while still using FP's filter.

I had some stuff already, but here are the majority of the part numbers for yah'll! This was through Paul at JNZ Tuning, BTW. (Ignore the -10AN fittings on the invoice).



Here's a shot of the complete kit:






So, if you're into saving money like I am, I made this for about $130 total, as compared to $250. All lines/fittings are of great quality.

Save on!

No problem, man. Some people run it down under the radiator and zip tie it to their oil cooler lines to get it to the filter housing. I didn't want it dangling so I opted to route it as shown above.

Isn't the -4AN to 3/8" supposed to be BSPT not NPT? how does the npt hold up in it? no leaks? tighten fine?

I didn't even know that was the case. A bunch of locals and I have been using this fitting without any issues.

the difference between bspt and npt is a 5 degree angle difference in thread taper. its not ideal to interchange them, but people do it with decent results.

As always, thanks for the info mang.

Like I said, many locals are using the same fitting without any leaks or issues tightening it into their housing.

Oil filter housing is British standard pipe thread; not national pipe thread.

You can get away with it using npt but.. It's not technically correct.
