hose fitting question

[Shadow99]

So im trying to feed a SS line from the turbo to the oil pan. But the oil pan is to far away for the 90 degree fitting (line bends and the fitting doesnt go flush with welded on pan fitting). So question is, do they make a fitting that extends or like a space adapter add on? Im looking around and i havent found anything yet. Does it even exist? lol

you could use some type of adapter. they have male to male, male to female, female to male. that will get you some extra space. I am not sure what fitting set up you have on the feed line/ pan fitting. Is your pan fitting male or female? sizes on pan and feed fitting?

I'm assuming that you are using AN fittings.

something like that would work, and just put a plug in the port.

Yea sorry its a male on the oil pan to female 90 degree. And that fitting link might do the trick!

10an is what i need. So this would be it, and the 1/8 npt is the fitting size in the center?

1/8"npt would be correct. you can buy a pipe plug at a hardware store for less than a buck, don't order one from jegs

get rid of that 90* fitting and use a straight instead

This is it here. Theres a cap on the fitting though. The line is too stiff and short to take out the 90 and put a straight. I bought a 45 degree but thats of course too long.

and you dont want to cut a new piece of hose?

 

[Shadow99]

lol No i did, was too long. I have one more shot at a different length. But the first one was perfect if the oil pan fitting was out farther.

well a 90* fitting may restrict flow, never a good idea to have it on your drain side

Factory hard pipe was straight and bent into a 90* so hopefully its not that bad.
