oil from turbo to block. (t piece) Pic Please
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi guys, I know that I need to use a t piece to attach the oil pipe from the turbo to the block in order to have the oil pressure sensor still attached,

however could someone please post a picture of theirs?

As mine looks like a bit of a bodge job, and is now leaking oil.. Not good.

Cheers.

Hi, did anyone get a chance to do this for me? would be a big help.

cheers again.

Mark.

i'll grab a pic later dude, i'm using the one supplied in the avonbar kit. although i've got an elctronic sender rather than a switch.

cheers, i made my own up.. think that was my first mistake :)

will look out for the pic.

thanks again.

Is this any good for you?

......and fitted like this..



Did you use PTFE Tape on the threads? It makes a big difference.

An 1/8NPT thread will fit, but it should be an 1/8BSP, there only only pitch difference per inch but the BSP is a tapered thread!

top blokes, cheers. mine is very similar, will try the PTF tape too, I have used a brake pipe union and pipe to move it from the front of the block to the near side, but the set up is the same. Can anyone see any problems with me doing this? length (about 20 cm) of pipe and diameter of standard brake pipe..

any thoughts?

cheers again chaps.

I got 2 brass fittings on mine so I have oil presure gauge,oil pressure sensor and turbo supply.

Bud will remember he was bidding on them too

All that stuff would be readily available and really cheap from a plumbers suppliers,
its the same as diesel lines to boilers

Quiet, can you hear it rusting?

:) :) :)

By the looks of those fittings they are they same as what I keep a stock of on my van, Im a refrigeration engineer, we use a fair few of those fittings, they are available from wholesalers like, Dean and Wood, and HRP, most cities have one? (dont know if this is any help?)
