Braided oil feed pipe
Turbo Mini Forums

I'm thinking of using one of these to make a bit more space for the intercooler:



The intercooler core is quite deep and is currently fouling the solid block to filter pipe.

Anyone use one of these?

Please.

Ah, didn't know minispares did those,

TBH they can only be a good thing in comparison to the std banjo fitting,

I normally use an old oil cooler pipe, but these will sit closer to the block due to the 90 degree bend.

calver does some on his site also of various types, might be worth a look.

i have 1/2" bsp fittings for both of these if you want to use one of the generic oil cooler pipes, any use?

apparently they are very good for the flow of oil.

Thanks Guys.

Joey - you have a PM.

I'm inclined to get one made up with a 90 degree bend at the banjo end and then a 45 degree bend at the filter end so that I can route it around the Intercooler.

I thought I knew of a site where you could order custom braided oil pipes online. Merlin and Europa don't do it - any ideas?

They've been very helpful in the past.

I always get mine made up to suit as I've never had an oil cooler in a position that a standard pipe will reach. A good hose manufacturer will sort you out best Paul
