High pressure oil feed line diameter

[306Puggy]

Heh, good find bud. I am a bit torn between getting a totally flexible one made up with fittings or getting a very short piece of flexi attached to the end of a spare standard line. Trying to weigh up the pros and cons of both at the moment.

For a high pressure feed. Why?

I mean braided oil hose. The type that people get oil hoses made out of, you know? Apparently a popular solution is to get a short piece of braided oil hose fitted to the standard line with a connector on the end for the non standard turbo but from what Tom says a flexi is easier.

Personally get all flexy, the one that goes in the end of the standard line is a bit of a pain.

Hmm, okay then. That does mean there is still going to be a question mark over length. I will go for 12 inches as suggested unless anyone can forsee any problems.

You can make it out of whatever size/diameter you want. The pressure is still going to be coming from the block, the only detailed part you need to get right is the restrictor going into the blower to ensure no popping of seal, and maintaining enough oil pressure to the rest of the block. They're normally about 2mm but the rest of the line can just be made up it wont affect anything as long as restrictor is correct.

I haven't heard any mention of restrictors before, but the oil inlet on the CHRA is already about 2mm, I guess that means the restrictor is built in. I see what you mean, as long as the restrictor is restricting the oil flow, the correct pressure will be maintained. But I will go with a 1/4 inch hose anyway as that appears to be what everyone uses.
