SpikeyJp_68 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 (edited) Hi guys, looking to make my own oil feed for my tf035. Preferably I'd like to convert it to AN fittings if possible. Just wondered if anyone knows the size on the housing & turbo along with what size hose to use. Or if it has to be used with a banjo bolt what's the name/ size of the circular connector ? Thanks in advance Edited August 28, 2016 by SpikeyJp_68 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RobSR Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Ive used an An-4 for my feed. Worked fine. Some more pics in my build from memory. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 you will need this then to start making the kit http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Banjo-bolt-kit-M10x1-5-to-4AN-For-Subaru-TD04L-TD05H-Turbo-Oil-feed-1-8mm-hole-/191953983170?hash=item2cb15956c2:g:v9EAAOSwjXRXYDQo you need al the other fittings to then Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet__SR Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Nothing wrong with the banjo setup. If its no good why do toyota use it? Banjo bolts snap because people get too heavy handed thats all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SpikeyJp_68 Posted August 28, 2016 Author Share Posted August 28, 2016 Thanks guys I appreciate the help. Will have a look at your build thread now Rob for the millionth time Those fittings being the AN fittings that screw onto the end of the banjo Colin ? Quite a clever idea really thinking about it but I just presumed the bolts were prone to breaking but if it's people over torquing them that's not an issue. Plus AN fittings look pretty Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Plus AN fittings look pretty As long as you've fitted the copper sealing washers, they dont need to be mega tight. Thats all it is, people treat them like a normal bolt and ping it goes. And there is that I suppose lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Advantage with an is you can make a decent line yourself( if you know what you are doing!) you'll need a m10x 1.25 i think it is to an4 adapter. Then an 4 90 or straight joiner and then the appropriate things the other end Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 An3 hose you shouldn't really need a restrictor Quote Link to post Share on other sites

First time making an AN hose which is a bit risky concidering it's an oil feed but I'm sure if I watch enough YouTube vids and take my time I'll be fine Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I used a 45 degree fitting off the bottom of the filter housing as a 90 degree one was fouling on something. Use a 90 degree one into the turbo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RobSR Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 (edited) Its only the liner that is ptfe (as opposed to rubber), still have steel braid over top. They're none permeable, and the fittings are actually easier to put on too lol! Edited August 29, 2016 by RobSR Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Flaminsam Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Be aware that the oil feed to the vf series of turbo have a tiny hole for the oil. I believe it's 0.8mm. The TD series of turbo has a 1.2mm hole for the oil. Any bigger and the oil seals will leak on the turbo. 👍🏻 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SpikeyJp_68 Posted August 30, 2016 Author Share Posted August 30, 2016 I've bought a 4AN line. Will this need an inline restrictor ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Personally I wouldn't worry. I run a garret without one as per their own advice Quote Link to post Share on other sites
