tonyhawk Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 (edited) I've searched, but I cannot find..... I have a Boostlogic oil feed and return kit, which I'm (trying) to use with a GT35R; the pipe from the block to the bottom of the tubbie which has the squished, oval flange with two securing holes is fine and I have the hose that comes from the block, but not the adaper that then screws into the turbo! I have tried several suppliers such as hydraulic adapter specialists etc., but no one knows where to get one... The thread appears to be 11mm bore with a 1mm pitch and a cone internally, so I'd need a female end? Any thoughts? I really need to get this by Friday; does anyone know where I can get one? Thanks Tony Edited March 11, 2009 by tonyhawk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandan Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Something like this? http://www.atpturbo.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=tp&Product_Code=ATP-FLA-019&Category_Code=BCS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyhawk Posted March 11, 2009 Author Share Posted March 11, 2009 Unfortunately not That is the side I have, it's the other fitting I'm missing, the one that looks similar to the one that goes into the block, but the thread is different and the shank appears to be 11mm rather than 12mm. It's in the Boostlogic kit, it's just not in the one I have and they say they don't sell them individually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandan Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Can you take a photograph of EXACTLY what you do have so we can see what you need? Or post a photo of the boostlogic parts and circle the bit you need? It sounds like it is an NPT to AN adaptor that you want but I'm kind of guessing based on your description.

dandan Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Do these help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyhawk Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 In that kit (the left most picture) it's the silver elbow adapter. Can these be bought seperately? As I said, I've tried several places, but they can't even identify the thread! Apparently it's not a normal metric standard (10mm is too small and 12mm is too big), not does it appear to be imperial or NPT as the thread is 1mm fine pitch! Any help would be VERY much appreciated! Ta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseys Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Also interested! I'm in the same predicament. Went to fit the return hose I bought off someone and don't have the adapter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyhawk Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 Anyone have any thoughts on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 I had this predicament.I ended up selling my BL oil return and had one made from a Garrett gt35r return flange(the same as the pic dandan posted) a steel pipe and stock return flange to the block.

tonyhawk Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 Unfortunately it's the top connection, the feed from the block and not the return (sorry, I realised that I'd labelled the thread wrongly after I posted ). I've had several people look at the connection, but we're struggling to work out what the thread is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 If you want one of these adaptors fast ,I'm pretty sure AET turbos (Yorkshire)will have one on the shelf for you mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean1933 Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Got one mate, should have put it in with the other bits. Will get it in the mail tomorrow morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonB Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 For the GT35R oil inlet you want one of these: http://www.atpturbo.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=ATP-OIL-021&Category_Code=GTBB That goes from the thread on the turbo to -4 (and has an oil restrictor which is very important). Then you want a -4 90 degree fitting like this: http://www.atpturbo.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=ATP-FTG-016&Category_Code=ATP-FTG1 Finally if you have a -3 oil feed hose you'll need a -4 to -3 adaptor like this: http://www.atpturbo.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=ATP-FTG-026&Category_Code=ATP-FTG1 Dunno what the problem people are having with returns is, you just need one of these: http://www.atpturbo.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=ATP-FLA-010&Category_Code=GTBB plus a gasket: http://www.atpturbo.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=GRT-GSK-008&Category_Code=GTBB Then you use a 1/2NPT to -10AN union that your drain hose connects to, like you would with any turbo. The BL kit comes with one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caseys Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 (edited) For the GT35R ... you want stuff . You sir are a legend. Ordered it all, as I bought a oil drain kit off someone here and only got the top feed line itself, the bottom drain hose and the gasket I really really do owe you a pint sometime if you fancy it mate. Would love to see how your build is progressing too Now I have a car that may keep up with yours! 2nd thoughts! I'm contacting them as for a $15 part they want $95 shipping! :O talked to thinkauto.co.uk and seeing if they can supply something similar. Edited March 13, 2009 by caseys horrified by shipping!
