Hey guys, I'm trying to get an idea of where it is that I need to run an a/n fitting above my oil filter on my 4g94 motor for my oil source for my turbo setup?

Does anyone have pics of there setup and how you ran your lines? It'd really help me out.

thanks

 

go on ebay.com

type in oil sandwhich adapter and there ya go the ss braid line is a direct bolt on to the -4 an12 mm nut but im not exactly sure if thats the right nut. but the line does connect to the oil feed from the turbo to the adaper

something like this

just make sure its for a lancer

 

There is also the way of doing it without a sandwich, which is what I will be doing.

So, if this is right, I've got a 3/8 npt to 4an that will connect up to my 4an braided line, and then that will connect to my 4an banjo on the turbo (which has a 12mm bolt, meaning the "standard 16g oil fitting")

*EDIT!!!!* upon further inspection/research, the 8mm hex may be 3/8"bspt and not npt. If this is true, the fitting I have will not work, so please don't buy this until it's determined which thread is correct.

 

So this? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/LANCE...item5193ac2d86

and just run my feed line out of one of the openings on it?

 

That is the method 03lances and steven121 have used, yes. Both agree it's solid, no leaks so far on 03lances, just lube it during install like you would your oil filter. I'm not going to have an oil temp or pressure gauge, so there was no need for me to have multiple openings like that...but solid method I think.

 

Yup thats the one. I just thought it seems simpler than having to run an elbow after you connect your feed line to that hex bolt above the filter. I have not leaked a drop of oil since the install. Getting ready to do an oil change on it here in a couple days and the oil still looks really clear. I personally think its looks cleaner too. Here are some pics. That downpipe was one solid piece like that before I had the exhaust shop cut out a section and weld in some flex when I had my exhaust put on.

 

Good stuff!

Yeah, I think I'm going to go the same route as you did with your oil feed 03lances

 

Damn! The bottom of that oil pan looks like it took the brunt of an explosion! I chose to use an elbow to the accessory feed. Nothing leaked on my end also.

But as a side note, after years of the adapter being into the feed it seized up some how and the nut is stripped so I cant quite screw it out.
Its not a problem though since I just went up to Home Depot and bought a screw in plug for it for $2. Gotta love Home Depot!

 

Lol I know I wish I could slam the person who owned my car before me Just to give you an idea of the condition of my poor car when I got it I bought it in '06 for $700.

 

03lances, could you post a pick of where you tapped your oil pan for your oil return as well?

 

yeah i want to see that as well my oil return is leaking bad im going to have make sure my line is good so theres no leaks

 

Sure I have pics in my build thread I think page 26? pretty sure I have my return line pics there. I marked the pan while it was still on the engine and the turbo was on. I can post some if not after I get off work

 

Here you go

 

I just got mine welded on and I found out it wasnt the oil return line, ill explain everthing in my thread

 

ok so since i went through hell trying to get oil feed measurements im going to clear this up...
this is for 4g94 with evo turbo

3/8npt to 4a/n adapter
3ft 4a/n ss braided line
12mm banjo to 4 a/n adapter

much cheaper to go this way than sandwich
