oil hose/fitting size
Turbo Mini Forums

i like to fit those goodridge aircraft style oil hoses and fittings.

Would it be better to use the dash8 (8mm)size fittings and hoses, or is the bigger dash 10 necessary??.

I'm afraid when using the 10mm , oilpressure could drop??!!

what are you guys using?

where are we talking about? from block to filter

from block to filter house(remote) , then to cooler ( if necesarry), and then to block

-8 is not 8mm, -8 refers to the number of 1/16" the nominal thread size of the fitting is, so -8 = 8/16 = 1/2".

ah..ok..sorry:).....but is -8 (1/2") enough??

when i measure the inside of a -8 ( the red part of fitting)i come at about 9mm and the -10 at about 11,5 mm

1/2 inch is probably over kill
