Oil feed fitting size

Winston · May 03, 2011, 01:24:42 PM

Hi folks

Does any body know what fitting size is used to connect the oil feed to the pressure sensor feed on the back of the head?

Just a quick other question while im here... Do I need to drill out the oil pressure feeds out the back of the head to gain more flow?

Cheers
Winston

M10x1mm.
I have a K03 and 'port' in the head doesn't seem to be a problem, nor have I ever heard of anyone enlarging it. Should be fine providing the hose is suitable.

Cheers dude.. Thats perfect I can get the hose ordered from hose solutions this afternoon

I hadn't seen anyone enlarging it in any build threads but I just had to ask with it looking so small compared to the size of the hose

I've enlarged my hose

Yeah I think the hose needs to be bigger, but the port itself is OK.

My oil feed pipe looks a tad small (like a G-lader item)

Hi, can anybody confirm the hose specs for the feed to K03 before I order from Hose Solutions.

Specs I have:

*Stainless braided hose (-4). Length 600mm.
*M10x1mm banjo fitting
*M12x1.5mm male right-angle fitting
*M10x1mm banjo bolt and copper washers

Thanks, Ian.

Aye, those are the specs I PM'd you

Edit: It's worked out well for me. Length includes the fittings.
M12x1.5mm male right-angle fitting fits better if it's not a banjo, it's better straight-on....if you know what I mean...

As in just a male thread straight into the oil feed port in the housing?.....if i'm correct in knowing what you mean.......

hehe. Picture a thousand words 'n all that:

Hose solutions sent me an adapter to fit their hose (in the pic)... I just emailed them the specs above and they sorted it all inc the adapter but not the M10 banjo bolt for £30 delivered iirc.

Edit: Adapter is on the turbo end, not the T-piece into the head

Thankyou so much, i'll get the specs over to them asap then. Thats one less thing on the never ending list to worry about

Ian.

No worries, happy to help

Wait 'till you have to sort the boost pipes, now they're a headache!

I just ended up sending Ben the fittings from the turbo and Oil preasure banjo and the length I required.. as I wasn't sure what fitting my turbo was.
