will this brake pipe work as oil feed
Turbo Mini Forums

hi all

have a gt15 turbo with a 3mm outlet
i have found on ebay braided goodridge brake pipe which seems to have great temp and pressure ratings

and also found all the correct fittings to make it fit my turbo

is brake braided hose ok to use?

it is fine material wise, but i would go for -4 rather than the -3 used for brake hoses.

you mean 4mm?

if so the pipe ive seen is 5mm

yep 4mm bore is -4 or dash 4

I always thought that the -4 was 4/16ths of an inch. Has anyone else heard this or have I been dreaming?

In boost we trust

good point,

I had always assumed it was mm, but as its american then it stands to reason its imperial, in which case i'm talking crap

off to google....

yep here we go...

Size Hose I.D. Tube Size
-4 3/16 1/4
-5 1/4 5/16
-6 5/16 3/8
-8 13/32 1/2
