jono Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 I went to a hose joint to ask about a custom oil supply line to be made from oil pump to turbo banjo for my ea81 idea They suggested a banjo on the end of teflon hose encased in stainless steel braiding. Said teflon is good for up to 200 degrees C OK oil temp should bnever get that hot, but surely the turbo core the banjo bolts into gets hotter than 200, like triple ? I reckon it might fail, so queried and got the "I'm a fitter and turner, not a mechanic" reply What have others done for custom turbo feed pipes other than metal ? I have seen an EJ turbo in a beetle and he had what looked like steel braided something to turbo with a junction for oil pressure switch Did not ask at the time did I ?

GeneralDisorder Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 -3 AN stainless braided brake line works just fine. We use it all the time for turbo oil feed. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono Posted December 26, 2017 Author Share Posted December 26, 2017 Aha GD, I knew you good for something! -3 AN is something I need to google So a flare, or double flare on correct fitting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 AN is 37 degree flare. As is JIC. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono Posted December 26, 2017 Author Share Posted December 26, 2017 thanks, and now I am awake it has become obvious - brake hoses can have a banjo bolt "eye" Wondering if anyone has found a source for oil pressure from the front of the EA81 head as in the way EA82T are fed from the rear of the head so a banjo and some copper washers can be employed.
