I searched - Turbo Line(s) Question

MauiBlueGride · 06-20-2003, 03:39 PM

Want to verify that:

1. If I buy a T25 + lines off a blue bird, will the lines bolt up to my USDM block?
(I know I have to drill the oil return line)

2. If not, which one(s) wont? I know water is easy to tap, but if the oil lines won't bolt into the block I guess I go nissport way eh?

Thanks - just seeing if I need the lines are worthwhile to pickup or not.

You can use the banjo fittings and bolts and cut the line, then run a rubber hose from each for the water lines. For the oil feed, i suggest you get a fitting and a steel braided line, also the Nissport adapter if you're going to run an oil pressure gauge.

you dont need the nissport adaptor, its good for multiple outlets like if you need a guage... for the feed, you do need a tee, most people get the oil from the back of the block from the stock oil temp sensor... so you need a tee to feed the sensor and the turbo at the minimum.

Right now thats how im gonna do it.. eventually I'll get a nissport adaptor to make it easy for oil pressure and temp guages

Wouldn't the Nissport adapter be a safer alternative to T's? Also, they send plugs with the adapter so you could just plug the spare openings if you don't have the gauges. Maybe it's just me, but if I spent all that money on a nice turbo setup I'd want to know the oil pressure, water temp, etc...

yeah it does come with plugs... i got my turbo setup as a kit almost complete... minus ecu, maf and fpr... so it has a tee... like i said im gonna get guages so when i do ill buy the nissport adaptor
