Ct-26 Oil lines

[noel]

SO i bought the oil soft lines for the ct-26 from driftmotion the steel braided hoses i made sure everything was tight and for some reason they leak...am i suppose to put [teflon tape] or something?...i got the crush washer on ... its leaking from under the turbo and its come from the hose the skinny one [ i have a gasket so its not that] [the 2 bolts are tight its not that] i dunno why they leak

wats the problem teflon tape..or sometime of paste ?

Thanxz in advance guys

This may sound like a stupid question but did you use a gasket on the oil flange?

Also why did you replace the factory hard lines? They are far superior than any braided lines you can get and as a bonus shouldn't leak.

The question is, DID YOU USE A GENUINE TOYOTA OIL GASKET?

Also, show us a picture of the setup. You should have to use NO teflon tape.

Ya an fittings dont need teflon tape but they do need to be super tight and its well worth it to get some an wrenches.

The Stock-Oil Lines are a puta to put back on cuz as u know they tend u bend, i spent a good 1hr trying to get them on. I figured the soft lines would have made installation easier for swapping turbos, and it was but they leak!! ITs not the quality of driftmotion.

The Factory Toyota Gasket are in place under the turbo and on the block. [No gasket maker was used] plus i have the crush washer in place! ---ill get some pic up soon-- I called up [Driftmotion] They said to used PVTFE sealant.... i never heard of this before

I've always removed the turbo and oil lines together by unbolting the lines at the block and removing the banjo bolt for the feed, never had any issues with them bending or going out of shape. Each to their own.

Are you sure the AN fitting is on the hose correctly?

Subscribed. I'm removing my turbo now to install a 57trim and I have a sneaking feeling I'm going to need this.
