What kind of " hose , tubes " do you guys use for oil to turbo ?

[w33dnhit]

Hello !

I'm looking for the best option when it comes to tubes / hoes for the oil line to turbo,( and out of it ? )

Some people use rubber, some steel an hoes , some people use standard hoes..

What is recommended ?

Thanks !

I use industrial stainless steel hoses. they can withstand up to 1300?F (704.444?C)

Just use the stainless steel braided hoses that they sell for this specific application. $100-$150 for a turbo oil feed line and water lines.

I don't recommend braided for a number of reasons in the turbo drain.

1. It tends to harden and crack/brittle inside over time and can collapse with no external visual indication that it is failing or crumbling apart.
2. AN fittings tend to become brittle, discolored, and leak. And they are hard to access in a majority of installations

Braided has a place in some applications (long-term with well thought out temperature control) when using high quality materials (not the ebay stuff)
however in the majority of custom turbo setups it does not have any place or serve a higher purpose


This is what I use

high temp rubber is what we find on majority of factory drains.
It allows visual inspection, and you can feel the hose to see if its brittle/cracking/aged/etc
It uses easy to access clamps/hardware
The fitment is ideal (no threads to ruin from repeated use, no metal fittings to damage or become brittle)

I only use ptfe braided steel or braided nylon tubing. It does not become brittle over time, it has a very 'slick' bore so it won't slow fluid transfer, and can handle every fluid at every temperature a car can throw at it. Now, my oil return line used to be rubber, but it had gone though it's useable life, so I replaced it with a braided steel (as I didn't have a proper size nylon alternative on hand). Something to definitely keep in mind, is that braided steel is basically a saw blade, and if you leave that shit bare up against rubber, plastic, or even aluminum lines, it'll chew through that shit pretty quick with the motors vibration. Made that mistake, and mine ended up resting against the power steering cooler line, and it chewed a nice hole though it.

very, very good information mate !! I think im leaning towears braided steel / nylon tubing yepp and away from any other hoes that can be sawed lol.. Thank you sir !!!!

Frankly, I would suggest a nylon or softer material for the return line. Maybe I didn't write it clear enough, but I used a braided steel tube for my return line and it sawed through my aluminum power steering cooler line in about 5 days. So if you use steel make sure it doesn't contact anything, or be sure to use some sort of sleeve at contact points.

hardlines or bust

I think that rubber is more suitable than others. If you can find quality material, you will be satisfied. She is very elastic and elastic. Another question is that more money is needed for quality material. I can advise you a good way to make money. You just need to free signup bonus no deposit casino. You can win money and buy what you need.

I use braided nylon -4AN line for the feed and then a -12AN push lock fitting and 3/4 pcv hose hose for the drain. 2 years on this setup and no issue other than my ringlands

i just have access to industrial stuff so i tend to buy them and know they will last longer than the normal SS braided hoses.

my goal is trying to finish up my VE-T for 1000hp
