Lee,

My MSN keeps dropping out and disappearing, so the questions I were going to ask were:

Does your turbo already have a threaded connector sticking proud?

Does the block have a connector sticking out of it at all?

Pics if you could would be very handy!

 

LOL..wondered where you'd gone....

Turbo has threaded connection - standard cossie size.

Block has no connector sticking out - its female.

This pic is the old feed pipe (top) and the new one - both identical size - the aeroquip fitting is the same as an 044 pump as discussed.



Anything else you need just holler!!

 

Cool - on the case!

Yuo sure that's the inlet size though! That aeroquip fitting look much more like the OUTLET size of the 044 pump........

 

Cheers bud.

Yeah its on the low pressure side - feed from the tank.

 

Lee - you sure mate?!

The low pressure side is twice as big as that! That looks like the outlet side where the power terminals are!

 

Nooooooope - defo the inlet mate - believe me!!!

I think the piccy is just deceiving to be honest. Heres one of the pump just to prove it to you....

 

Lee - one last thing.............

How big is the oil feed pipe at the moment.

Can't put anything too small pipe size on there, as it'll restrict the flow..........

 

Currently half of it is a braided pipe - which looks to be the next size up from a standard cossie item - but then it goes to a thinner metal pipe for the rest of it.

I'm sure that if the whole pipe was the same bore as a cossie item it would be fine - bear in mind that the smallest item its going to encounter is the adaptor into the actual turbo itself.

I'm sure if its good enough for a cossie its good enough for a lowly Reno! LOL!

 

Okay - back with ya in two secs then..............

 

last question (I can't see the car, so it doesn't help)....

Can the feed pipe come straight out of the block adaptor, or do you want the feed pipe to have an angled fitting?

 

Rich are you after making a quip line for the turbo oil feed ?

 

I am for Lee's R21 turbo, but there's some weird sizes going on, that's all.........

 

ahh sorry thought you wanted it for the cossie

as you were

 

LOL @ RSNissan

PON - yeah straight out the block is perfect - angled fitting on the turbo as per usual!!

Next......

 

dunno if this pic will help with any of the fiting you might need ?

 

Andy - it's okay mate - I've got about 100 fittings sat on the desk in front of me!

Lee - you have PM.........

 

Back at ya dude!!

RSNissan - Cheers for those but stop posting pictures of pervy fittings like that - you're getting me all moist!!!
