Did you remove the turbo brace? Once you do that you can get a wrench on it properly which should allow it to come lose.

I did - Motor mount strut off, starter off, support bracket off - all from the bottom - don't ask me how! lol. The line came off fairly easily but that 45 is killing me. I got a big adjustable on it but couldn't break it loose. I'm guessing Carlisle is out for me. Ughhh. It's so thin but maybe I can find someone to weld it back together if I can't get the old one off to get yours - or to rig something up piecemeal locally. It's always something - luckily I made it home with oil and oil pressure!   |

The problem is the block fitting uses a weird "gas line" thread/seal angle so it's not easy to use it when making a new line.
I'd be tempted to put some heat on the block to get it lose.

This was probably asked already. But my oil sending unit is a different thread size i have an 89 xr4ti. The oil sending unit looks different as well..
Its already installed on the turbo and block just cant thread the sending unit.
Can you tell me the size thread and type in the "T"?... Maybe i can find an adapter at a local hardwear store.

I'm 99% sure all 2.3 oil sender's are the same thread size...1/4 NPT.

If I were to buy an oil feed line set up from you guys, could I put in notes to leave the side that'll connect to the turbo open so I could put my own fitting on it?

Yes, but make sure you've got the right kind of fittings for this teflon lined (not rubber) hose.

So turns out I should've just bought it crimped on, but regardless, what are the crimp specs on the t3 feed line? The shop I took it to to have it crimped said he wouldnt want to crimp it because he didnt know the crimp specs. The guy was saying it looks like a parker style crimp, but because I dont want to go through the troubles of sending it back to you guys I'd like to get the specs on it to see if the guys at the shop can do it.

hello, quick question. are the fittings on the oil supply line you sell -3 or -4? Also I am installing a ball bearing turbo, what size restrictor should I use? .035" sound about right? Thanks.

The line is -4. Restrictor size is whatever is suggested by your turbo manufacturer.

Hi Shannon,
What size is the hole in flange in the turbo side of the return if I select T3/T4 Hybrid? I have a real garrett 50 trim (from Bo) and the bolt size is 3/8x16.
Thanks
Chris

I'm pretty sure they are 3/8" as T3's and T4's use the same bolt size but if they aren't, it's aluminum so it's quite easy to enlarge them.
