'Ello fellow enthusiasts,

Just as another option for venting your crankcase, I've reached a final conclusion on venting from your balance shaft inspection hole on the front of the block.

The bolt size in question is a 10mm x 1.25.

For those of us who don't have space for a straight fitting, I'm utilizing a 10mm x 1.25 banjo bolt, to a 10mm to -6AN banjo fitting, then routed to my catch can.

I can't find the banjo fitting anywhere online, but the fitting guy I use made one for me. To get that fitting you can contact JNZ Tuning, and he'll be able to get you one.

Just thought I'd share this, as it saves quite a bit of space over a 10mm x 1.25 to -6AN straight fitting, and for those running bigger turbos, this is crucial.

I'll throw some pictures up when I get my block back!

 

Hah i was thinkin the same thing while i was retiming my car. Good idea

 

Sounds like a good idea. Just noticed you dont have the block, so please update with pics when you get it. Curious to see exactly where and how it works out.

 

I like this idea a lot. I buy all my fittings at Summit and picked up a M10x1.25 to -6AN fitting a while back but haven't messed with installing it yet. The Hafe manifold and 02 housing setup I have holds the turbo pretty close to the block so it may be an issue.

 

I actually fitted the bolt to my 2.0L block, however, I'm waiting on the banjo fitting. However, I'm 100% sure that the bolt is a 10x1.25.

I'll surely post up pictures when I receive the fitting.

 

Good thinking. Was assembling a vehicle today with large turbo. While finding a way for the 10x1.25 to -6 to 90* fitting to work I could definitely see the benefits of a banjo fitting in regards to flushing up fitment/allowing greater clearance.

 

Heck yeah! I replied to your PM, but to update on here, I can't get a M10 to -6AN banjo fitting made, so until I find that piece, it's not going to happen!

 

PM received 92, sorry have been super slammed. Wonder if the low profile fittings would be of any help in your current situation...

You find it for a better price anywhere? Speed and Hose is proud of that little thing.

 

Picked up an Ano-Tuff Swivel Seal Hose End Earls Plumbing AT809006ERL Hose Size -06AN - Adapter Size -06AN - 90 deg. Low Profile for $28.99 today.

 

I didn't find a better price anywhere else. It seems that anywhere that has that fitting is extremely proud of it, like you said. It's quite irritating.

My fitting guy is made me the 10x1.25 to -6AN fitting for like $6, so that was a nice plus.
