Adam says you'll need to get this made, it's not generally an off the shelf item :agree:

Give these guys a call

http://www.thinkauto.com/

oh ok ill gived them a ring im not sure tho what size the thread needs to be to go into my braided hose but i have the old one so i will try and get it measured, thanks for your help

[D4WNO]

You're probably better off going somewhere local with the braided hose so they can measure it themselves :)

[tiff_lee]

Yeah in that case have you a pirtek near you? they do all fittings and what not

[D4WNO]

Good idea actually, was trying to think the name of the company that does it down here - Same one :laugh:

[jonnyshaw49]

my mates just been up from pirtek he says the size needed is 9 16ths jic to the 12mm x 1.5mm adam l sed, so anyone know where i can get them?my mate sed pritek wont have it they only have 9 16ths jic to quarter pipe thread and not the 12mm x 1.5mm :(

[D4WNO]

Huh? I thought they made custom bits?

go to a local engineering company/machine shop they'll be able to knock one up easy enough if you were local i would of done it for you.

think auto sell all sorts of fitings, you maye need a adaptor or 2 to end up with the correct fitting at either end. give them a call and see what they can do for you. all the members round here use them.

if your turbo has a female 12x1.5 thread and your oil feed pipe has a 9/16th JIC female fitting (also known as -6.............are you sure as that is big for a oil feed?)

You also want an adaptor for your pressure gauge then do the following....assuming you want the t-piece at the turbo.......your oil feed pipe might be short with the adaptor on top?

So you need two parts, a metric t-adaptor and a male(JIC) too male (metric) adaptor

Link to t-piece (http://www.thinkauto.com/acatalog/On_line_shop_T_pieces_35.html)

This is the part to buy and it has the 1/8 npt thread in the side


TP6
T piece M12x1.5

You will find the other adaptor on this page....

m12 x 1.5 to 9/16th JIC, as i said above i think -6 is a big feed pipe are you sure he did not say 7/16th so it would be -4?

hi mate thanks for the help , the jic size is similar to the 12mm, so it could be 7 16th jic , he sed 9 16th jic but was off top of his head , is 12mm 7 16th jic or 9 16th jic?? like u say i can order it like you say and have the oil pressure guage in line

PULLING MY HAIR OUT NOW, drove 8 miles today to go and get a fitting and asked for the 7 16th jic x 12 mm x 1.5 and got all the way home, the jic is the right size but the 12mm they give me measures 17mm so way to big, couldnt believe it!!! should charge them petrol money lol for wasting my time,could anyone tell me what the size of the oil feed thread is on a standard turbo in the centre?? as it is the same size hole as the new turbo but must be different thread as the old fitting wont go into my new turbo
