    Stuck with a predrilled oilfeed-less VG33?



    1/8" NPT to -4AN adaptor, -4AN turbo oil feed line, and a -4AN turbo oil inlet flange.

    I did something similar but had a friend weld a 1/8" bspt to a -4an that came with the SS line kit. I also recently had another left over -4an from the kit welded to the oil feed fitting that came on the holset, so thats another way to cheap out on fittings haha.

    Being that oil filter housing is aluminum its simple to retap to 1/8" NPT instead of 1/8" BSPT, so I just did that and it works out using the 1/8" NPT to -4AN fitting.

    Chris86NA2T or 88sinZ posted this, and Grr did this on his engine as far as I was told.

    Good picture.

    Or…
    1/8 NPT female to 1/8 BSPT male Adapter
    Couple that with your ol eBay T3 oil line. No drilling or tapping required.

    enjoy building it yourself.
    if it fails, fuck it.
    at least you gave it a whirl.
