When I had to drive my evo from washington to twentynine palms. Which Is a few hours east of san diego in the dessert my evo started to give me all sorts of problems. My clutch is chattering. My coilovers went poo on me. And my turbo wasnt spooling right. I think it could be the dust in the air here is so thick its clogging my maf. But anyways my turbo oil line was leaking ao I tried taking it off to fix it and this happened


It snapped so I bought a new banko bolt but it wouldnt thread in all the way. And I cant remember if it had washers originally so I tried to fix it but...

 

So I basically dont know where to go from here. Helicoil kit maybe? Any advice would be much appreciated thank you

 

You need to get the OEM banjo bolt and crush washers.

 

Ok thanks I guess they are only from mitshu dealer? What do I do about thread inside head. I think its stripped out

 

There are other sources, like STM that you could get it from. Once you have the new bolt you can determine what condition the threads are in.

 

I bet you cross threaded the banjo putting it in. If you are lucky you may be able to salvage the threads. First use an ez-out to remove the portion of the original banjo assuming you havent already.

Then use a thread repairer/ rechaser. Note do not use a normal tap but rather a rethreading tool. The difference is that a tap is meant to cut new threads and a rethreader is meant to clean up threads. Its a lot less aggressive but will have enough cut to repair and straighten out the damaged threads without removing too much material.

Buy this kit right here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/METRIC-THREAD-CHASER-RETHREADING-TAP-SET-M6mm-8mm-10mm-12-MADE-IN-USA-7PCS-/140904791538?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item20ce947df2
The size you are looking for is m10X1.25 IIRC. It is included in the kit above. Grease up the tool to catch the metal shavings and work it slowly into the head making sure its going in perfectly straight. Be very careful here do not rush it.

Get yourself a new oem banjo bolt and two copper crush washers and it you were successful in your repairs you should be able to thread the new banjo in straight and provide a leak free seal. Good luck

 

Had the same problem as you i just used a easy out then cleaned the thread carefully, then i Machined a stainless steel bolt into desired size works mint now

 

I have one ill give you if you pay shiping. LMK

 

you could take this time and upgrade to a MAP turbo oil line with filter.

 

I would not use a filter line unless you check it regularly. I know most shops wont recommend one. Especially on a stock turbo setup, I don’t see the point.

 

Let me know if you still need the oil feed line banjo, i have them in stock.
