Typhoon196 New Member 5 Member For: 4y 10m 13d Posted 06/06/19 03:37 AM Share Posted 06/06/19 03:37 AM How do you remove/get to the turbo oil feed on the side of the block on a BA Typhoon with the fpv engine oil cooler in the way? Mine has blocked and blown the turbo I have fitted a new turbo but can't seem to get to the oil feed to replace the stock oil line with the new oil line?!

You hold the block-side of the banjo bolt so that the oil line does not rotate and then on the other side turn the outer banjo around. The electrical leads are easily removed from the "hat-shaped" sender part on the end that the typhoon has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon196 New Member 5 Member For: 4y 10m 13d Posted 06/06/19 05:36 AM Author Share Posted 06/06/19 05:36 AM That's the way I tried, looks like the Intel manifold is coming off. Replacing the turbo was easy this oil line is a pain it's the only thing stopping me from driving it. I can't even drive it somewhere to pay someone to do it!

Its a 24mm long reach socket. But you need to hold the fitting with 24mm open ender. It's a taper fit into the block so don't overtighten it. It's a tricky job , maybe get a mechanic to do it. If you car has high k's good idea to change the inlet gasket any rate. What state you in. Look here. Half way down the page What type of new line do you have. Don't forget to remove the small filter from the fitting and leave it out. https://www.fordforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=73561 Edited 06/06/19 07:27 AM by arronm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
