ok i have all of the parts to hook up the turbo, all i need to know is , can i use a rubber fuel line for an oil return line(dont know if the hot oil will melt thru it)?? can i use the same fuel line to cool the turbo, and can i tap the coolant line from the throttle body??? and last but not least i have the hardware to tap if from the oil sender, can i use rubber hoses from the oil sender to the turbo or should i use hard line for that?? (i cant seem to fine hardlines anywhere and also scared that the oil will also burn thru the rubber hose).

thanxs for all the help.

 

Use rubber hoses for the oil return,NOT THE FEED!Do the same for coolant.Just make sure u use the correct sizes and i have a braided -4an line for a feed i can sell u.Hit me up if u want it.

 

for the oil feed line for the turbo, you should be able to get the hardline from discount, autozone, napa, etc. the line is just a brake line, get 1/4 inch and about 50 inches of it, its like 5 dollars, you can get the rest of the oil "T"s from there too, its pretty simple, and for the coolant lines, ive heard if you get an auto tranny civic radiator it has coolant nipples at the bottom of the radiator for the tranny. seems like that would work better because it wouldnt keep your intake manifold so hot. if you need some more help PM me -Ben

 

go get a 3an or 4an steel braided line and the matching fittings for the feed and get some sort of line that wont kink and is rated to around 300 deg F

 

i dont know how else to explain it, but if you want a write up on it, honda tuning magazine did it a long time ago, i still got the issue, thats what i whent by for my home made setup.

 

how many ounds of boost are you guys running thru the stock block?

 

I ran 8, didnt have any problems until i ran out of oil, always double check your oil return line.
