T3 braided oil feed connections..
Turbo Mini Forums

back at L2B this year, i bought a braided oil feed kit from Avonbar. Only now have i got it out to fit it but i cant work out what goes where, think i might be missing some bits. I have in the kit:

1. Length of braided hose pre swaged with an O ring at one end and a female threaded connector on the other
2. A T piece
3. A threaded gender changer
4. A bolt with oil feed holes.

I am presuming that the gender changer is used to allow you to fit the T piece at the block so i can fit a oil pressure switch. But the bolt is too long to screw into the T piece. My turbo also DOESNT have anything fitted at the oil inlet, does the bolt screw into that using the O ring end? If so i'm missing another gender changer to allow me to screw the female swaged end into the T piece.

Help?!

the banjo goes into the turbo.

the T piece goes into the block, the gender changer connects the end of the pipe to the side connection of the T piece, then you put your oil pressure gauge pipe/sender onto the the other bit of the T piece.

I'll grab a pic of mine later for you if you want.

ahha, so i am missing a gender changer, my T only has three female threads on it. Thanks Nick :)

oh, btw, so the banjo goes straight onto the 'flat' where the old feed use to go like the pic?

Yes. Use a copper washer each side (think you have got them there already)

Don't be fooled by the bolt holes either side of where you screw the banjo in, these were not used on the Metro.

excellant, thanks chaps.

now, where to get a gender changer thingy from..

aaaah yeah just remembered now that the T has 3 females. i think i used the gender changer from my old oil pressure gauge T piece. try minispares for one, or i know minimine in stoke-on-trent will definately have one.
