oil return
Turbo Mini Forums

hey chaps, just wondered if this would be suitable to use for my oil return pipe, as the rs turbos ran a T3?

£10 for a second hand rubber hose?

I wouldn't bother. A new 90 degree elbow in silicone will be cheaper and better. Try Avonbar.

at Avonbar the postage will be higher than the part tom

i used to be a good supporter of Avonbar but..........ian the M/D NEEDS to review his packaging costs PRONTO!

in all fairness he is partaking the water

try merlin motorsport uk google that
postage very reasonable

Wasnt there a thread on this a few days ago ?

Ive bought from http://viper-performance.co.uk/index.php

and had pretty good service.

They say the hoeses generally dont take oil, although I'd think most would have a good service life, even under such circumstances. Perhaps call them ?

or Paul at Roose Motorsport. He mostly does Ford hoses, but can make anything.

speed didn't kill me, but taxation probably will

For silicone hoses i recommend merlin motorsport, they hold all the stock too

go on ebay and look for hoses. think its auto performance direct or something i use.

Very very good service and nice hoses too.

I ordered mid afternoon on 2 occasions and they both came the next day.

yeah i think thats who i visitied the warehouse of, but they have limited styles in their range thats the only bad thing :( like they cant do T pieces or spurious angles or anything

Isn't the oil return a special high temp material?

I know that they are NLA from Rover, but Avonbar had some made by all accounts.

Couldn't comment on postage

when you order next from avonbar

look at the postage costs
wil-h .......Whattttttt......!

cheers fellas, been on the merlin motorsport site, they look quite reasonable.
its the 16mm i need isnt it?

'always keep a spare shot for a stray bird'

nope, 19mm or 3/4"

Yeah it was floruo something lined as i had some made as well. Only worked out to be around £10 each posted (for me to sell) but i needed a minimum £100+ order. This was from Samco's parent company which i cant rmember the name of. siliflex i think or along those lines.

Feeb's got the test piece.

ive been using a regular silicone hose as an oil return for 3 years without any problems what so ever
