sdutton007 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Hi,I managed to snap the connector that goes between my oil feed line and my TD05. Can anyone please tell me what part I need (and where I can get one) ?Alternatively, one of my TD04 kits came with this pipe - can anyone confirm whether this has been made for a starlet, or if it's off an impreza? If its for a starlet, can anyone provide a picture of how it fits on exactly, and what bolt I would need to connect it to the oil filter plate?Cheers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kingo228 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Try find out the thread sizes on both ends , i know the mashed up end is prty bad. once you know that ebay will have one unless this fitting has a restrictor in it for oil flow? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
klyfax Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Every company that works with hydraulic have it, and can make a new hose if you need it.A workshop that works on construction- or agricultural machinery might help you as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flaminsam Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Be warned, inside that adapter that's mashed up there is a restriction. Its to prevent your turbo blowing its oil seals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Unless somebody on here can tell me ? It must be a fairly common part...Be warned, inside that adapter that's mashed up there is a restriction. Its to prevent your turbo blowing its oil seals.Can the turbo really blow it's oil seals from the relatively small amount of pressure from the oil pump? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flaminsam Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Your oil pressure can be up to 80psi when at high revs. Don't forget your taking oil directly from your oil filter housing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kingo228 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 could use a thread guage on the other one and then use a tap to find out the side of the hose? go to a shop and take the hose and fitting with you and try find one that is the same?and yes running the turbo with out a restrictor will smoke like a bitch and will damage the seals and bearings.

What should I search for on google maps to find a shop that deals with these things? Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sdutton007 Posted August 22, 2012 Author Share Posted August 22, 2012 I just spent my lunchtime trying a couple of engineering firms, a garage and Pirtek.... nobody was able to even give me the tread sizes. so....Can anybody please tell me the fitting sizes for:- oil feed hole on a TD04/TD05 ?- oil feed hole next to the oil filter?If I can get these measurements, I should be able to get a replacement part...
