Aite guys i got my car sitting in shed collecting dust waiting for the intercooler to get here. Currently have turbo bolted on and water and oil lines fitten to block. I got basically nothing to do untill i get my cooler except for pluming in the t piece to the heater hose and finding a rubber hose to connect oil drain up.


*where did you get the hose to connect oil drain? Ive been to autobarn and the biggest hose they have is 12mm i roughly need 15mm
*I need a photo of where the heater hose is located. In pics ive seen on calaisturbo his setup is different to mine and i dont have much light in my garage to sus shit out.

under the intake manifold for heater hoses and they go to the firewall

as for the hose go to bursons, repco places like that

i went to pirtek and got 3/4 inch hose for oil drain. its basically like an hydroulic oil hose strong durable and its blue $12 for a piece @ 400 long to suit my setup with highmount

Aite will sus it out tomoz. Will try repco first as its only down the road. Cant believe the trouble i had trying to find copper washers for the banjo bolts.... Went to autobarn, repco, autopro, hardware stores, engineer work shops... Nobody had them except for autobarn what sold them in multipacks at 8 dollars each

Had a look a bit earlier. Cant see much, too dark in the garage. There is 2 hoses next to each otherwhat go into the firewall on the inlet manifold side of the motor. Does it matter what hose i plumb into?

bump. oil drain done. Only thing left is plumb t piece in heater hose. The two hoses what go into the firewall on the intake manifold side. Does it matter which hose i plumb into?

[detox_nath83]

its just a loop through the heater core and back out
Go the LEFT(looking at engine) hose of the 2 at the firewall closest to overflow bottle and booster etc
