^thanks! what do you think about heat wraping the feed like i had it before? at first i thought it would help but the more i think about it the more unsure i am....it might just be trapping heat in that part of the line and hose end. i didn't wrap it cause im still up in the air on it. :dunno:

made the new oil feed line and installed it today. went pretty smooth. im not sure if i should heat wrap it or not. but other than that i think this should get it for good! :bigthumb: and one of the engine bay for fun

i think the main reason why majority of us don't drift our cars is most areas don't really have a nice sanctioned place to drift at. and as we all know the cops aren't to happy when they see you boiling the tires in a parking lot, through an intersection, or on a onramp. ive done some pretty...

yeah you can see how the line has a kink molded into it from being too long. that is definitely the issue. i would say get some new -10 line and cut it to where it fits better. i think with the hose at the right length you won't need a 45. but thats hose is garbarge at this point. i would try to...

i would say the stock drain should work better as long as the turbo isn't mounted so low that the drain levels out. where the stock cooler returns will most likely work to but if you like to run it with a extra quart like you should then that spot is more likely to get below oil level especially...

idk how i never saw this thread!!! i guess thats what i get for never looking in the build thread section. im pretty sure you don't need a oil restrictor. i don't have one on my na-t 2jz and it makes higher oil pressure than my old 7m. im using a -4 feed and -10 return. been running it for a...

yeah i think mine has a 12cm on it. whatever the 7 blade ones came with. i know the older 8 blade ones flow less and have a larger exhaust housing so maybe you have one from a early 98.

hmm thats seems like pretty late spool im gonna have to look exactly next time i drive my car but i think mine hits early :dunno: yeah sadly ive never been to one. maybe this year i'll make it out! im sure its pretty fun

yeah i prolly wont be able to make it. but out of curiosity where is it happening? theres a shop here thats finally getting a dyno. they should have it in a couple months so if anything i'll find out when they do their opening. nice! so the larger wheel is working fine with the stock exhaust...

oooh boy thats no good...luckily i noticed it before it leaked worse or completely popped off the hose end!

so am i the only one who loves these turbos? im running a 7 blade hx35 off like a 01 cummins and its been a great turbo for me. i have it at 18psi and it moves pretty good. haven't got it on a dyno because there isn't one for hundreds of miles and it runs great from just street tuning it. im...

thanks for the assurance i made the right decision!

its on a na-t 2jz. i never said heat from the manifold is getting it to hot. i think its how i have a banjo bolt coming off the turbo which makes the hose end really close to the center section of the turbo heres some pics i took before i took it apart to show apt. im hoping the extra heat the...

whats the offset on your rims? and theyre 18x10 all around!? i want to run 17x10's with 275 nto1's all around this season so i could give me an idea of where i need to be.

well the first line i used was one i made with standard braided hose. which lasted for a while. but when it failed i wanted to use something that i thought was better. so i ordered a custom length oil feed from apt. was suppose to be specifically for a turbo feed. but after taking it apart the...

Really!? I had no idea it was so simple. So I'm guessing there's some kind of collar you buy that threads to the an fitting and compresses the flared line. I can see that working to the turbo side but what about putting a male an fitting on the line to connect back to the braided hose?

basically just as the title says. ive seen it used on some high end builds and race cars but i can't seem to find a place that sells the stuff. im tired of the rubber hose inside the -an line melting then causing a leak at my turbo feed. so my plan is to use ss hardline like about 6" with a...

i recently did the spherical bushing on my car and what worked really well for me was a balljoint press and a large socket. i left the hub on all i did was remove the control arm. i also heated the hub some. and when i installed the new bushing i put it in the freezer and heated the hub a...

what track is this at?

figured i'd put this in here too. its a video of my 5 laps at this little track in medford i went to a couple weeks ago. i had never been there before and didn't get much practice so could have been a lot faster but oh well. still had a good time...
