Oil fitting thread help.
Turbo Mini Forums

I've got a 4 way block adapter and i need to find the right fitting for my turbo oil feed pipe to fit to. It's the goodridge kit you can buy from minispares, but i managed to snap the fitting it need. It will need to have a nipple type male end one side and a 1/8 NPT thread for the block.

I have started posting on Instagram also my name on there is turbomk1golf

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

Cheers, i suppose i will have to buy a few and send the wrong one back..

The flat part measures 8.92mm and the thread size is 10.76mm. Im not sure what JIC fitting that converts to though, I'll have a search.

JIC is the taper fitting. Like the fitting in the filter head here:



If it is like this, the threads are actually UNF. JIC just refers to the taper fitting type. Measure the thread diameter. If it 11mm as suggested above, I'd say yours is 7/16" UNF making it a -4 JIC.

Here's a useful reference:

Ah that makes sense Steve, cheers! It is the same type fitting that's in your filter head.
