compatibility of 12b and 13c oil lines

ikyikthe1st · 05-19-2007, 11:52 PM

Alright, I'm using my 12b return to fashion up a return for my 15g. Since it would usually be a 13c line being used, I've got a few q's.

1. On FCP, the gasket between the oil return and turbo look the same for both the 12b and 13c, but they are different part #'s. Will a 12b gasket work on a 15g? (The line looks like it will fit fine.)

2. The copper washers used on the feed, since I am using AN fittings, I assume I would only need to use one 13c copper washer instead of two? (since this is not a banjo bolt)

It just seems that I'll be combining parts for a 13c and a 12b since my car had the 12b, some things on the block are different, I don't have the 13c lines, etc. I just want to know if this is right.

Edit - If any of this doesn't make sense, just let me know, it's kinda late and I'm trying to figure out what I need to order when I get payed.

Guess I'm going with my instincts on this one, I think I'm right anyway. Meh.

fill the hole w/a rag n grease and tap it for a fitting

What would I do for the turbo then? I don't feel like tapping a hole, everything's all greasy down there and taken apart...
