install problems

hey, im trying to put my sp61gt on my car, and i cannot figure out how the oil feed lines connect to the car. the feed line has a nut like end on it, and where the old feed line was it was a banjo bolt so i cannot figure out how i would go about hooking it up, and the other line that runs from the bottom of the turbo to the block has the same kind of nut like end, but there is nothing to screw it on to.help would be appreciated.

EDIT: i figured out that i need a oil drain block fitting. so now that i know i dont have that and dont have money to buy that, can i use the stock oil line on the sp61gt? would there be problems if i did?

by the way they are ss oil lines, do i need an adapter? or could i just use the stock oil lines for th sp? need help, its getting dark, and i wanna get it on!

Here's my setup for my Turbonetics 60-1. From turbo oil inlet: 1/8 NPT male to -4 male elbow, -4 90 degree auto-fit hose end from earl's, size -4 ss braided hose, -4 straight auto-fit hose end, -6 female to -4 male reducer, and then -6 male to 12MMx1.25 earl's adapter to the block.
Oil return: Oil drain flange T3/T4 1/2 NPT female, 1/2 NPT male to -12 swivel-seal straight hose end from earl's, size -12 ss braided hose, to 1/2 NPT male to -12 swivel-seal 45 degree adpter from earl's, and finally to 1/2 NPT female oil return block flange from suprasport. I'm not sure if majority of the aftermarket turbo share the same size oil inlet & return. Better to check the manufacturer's website for details.
P.S. If you are really desperate you could pipe cut the stock oil return fitting, remember to allow enough length for threads which you can tap by using a 1/2 NPT tap. But in reality, when you are dealing with aftermarket stuff, special adapters and fittings usually take some time to arrive to your doorstep. HTH.:3d_frown:
