Turbo Oil Drain

[PHANTMXR6]

Although it looks the part, I'd be keen to know what the standard item is worth as $250 sounds like too much to me.

the braid it self is $1 per cm and the two end fittings are $30 each they now have done one so the cost would be cheaper.

My current one leaks - I'd like to buy...

Who do I contact?

Cheers,

That style of braided line has a teflon lining. This hose is normally used in fuel and air delivery and occasionally for turbo oil supply applications. all low pressure, low heat applications.

I dont mean to rain on your parade but i think the heat from the turbo and the high oil temp associated with the drain with cook the teflon and it will leak through the braid in time

Once it was been installed and heat cycled a couple of time be careful to avoid flexing the hose as this can crack the teflon lining once its taken a heat set.

I had this on my high mount, lasted a week. then had numerous "heat proof" pieces of rubber oil pipe that were also insulated by a fire proof fibreglass cover. all turned black and crumbled. it has to be all metal, no closer than 5-6cm to the manifold for the rubber/teflon braid. stock oil drain is $140 from ford.

bit of a update, so far has not leaked and has not shown any signs of cracking.
