Oil/Water lines on a GT28 - Need some help

[Ethanep82]

Right i'm quite over my head now with all this shit, tried reading up as much as I can but need some actual help now.

I'm gonna be a running a GT2860RS on a topmount setup, I have no water/oil lines with it.

I believe the thread size is AN4 for oil and water lines, is this correct?

I have also read about the GT28 requiring a oil restrictor?

What can I use for oil return?

I just need to know what to order, I'm so deep and lost at the mo

Any help much much appreciated.

Im having similar issues atm dude.

I just bought some hydraulic hose from ebay for the oil return. Its 1m and 3/4" ID, just cut to size. Its got 2 layers of braiding inside so takes some cutting lol!

Seems very cheap but its very good quality.

For the oil feed my original one was from Zisco. Im having to get one custom made so trying a few different places, local hose places etc.

Also WEPR can defo sort you out

Ooo that hose looks perfect saying that, reckon it can take the hot oil for prolonged periods then?

Hel website allows you to build you own oil feed - result £30

The oil return you just buy the two bolt push on fitting on eBay

And two water lines push on banjos again to suit a gt28 off eBay

Oh that HEL custom site is amazing, will build my own when I'm home so I know what length.

For oil return on the turbo, I already have the adaptor plate thingy on it, so I just need pipe to go on the turbo and then onto the sump, I believe anyway...lol

God they are expensive, £15 each if you order from a UK supplier ?!

Its rated too 100*C so should be fine.

The last one i had that Zisco supplied cracked and split and caused a fire so i'll be checking this all the time.

Sweet, will order that pipe later.

Just spoke to WEPR, they can supply me a complete kit, but it is pretty pricey lol.

I've got a billet an-12 return you can have for not a lot if you want it. That'll fit a gt28.

Use An-6 water lines - torques is a good place to buy fittings.

An-4 oil feed. depending on your engines oil pressure and what bearing setup your 28 has you may need a oil restrictor like you mentioned.
