Maisonvi's never ending build

[Maisonvi]

Good deal, glad you got it sorted though. I'm curious now why yours (or mine) is different. We've used the 3/4 to 5/8 on every big turbo car up here in North East Ohio, granted everyone is running PTE up here, so no water cooling and the full egr delete we use has no coolant line.

Yeah I was surprised. but you said the line coming off the oil cooler was 5/8" I believe, and when I tried a 5/8" barb it was crazy loose. Tried my 3/4" and it fit like a glove. So not sure whats going on there.

No the line off the oil cooler that has the 90 bend is 3/4,then we run the union and step it to 5/8 all the way to the firewall

Ah the hose coming off the firewall which I connected to was 3/4 too. Maybe that hose goes down to 5/8 at the actual firewall?

Probably

Yeah that's probably it.

Did a thing today. Made a ECU mount out of scrap lexan I had. It's so secure now it's not even funny compared to the velcro. Plus the temperature swings here in MI kept causing the glue to fail on the velcro.

I am really glad I keep up on your thread. I just found that I wore a hole on my turbo coolant return line due to the metal tee coming off the hard line rubbing against the turbo. I thought it wouldn't be enough to damage the coolant line but clearly I was wrong.

Here you go Tommy. This is what I used. I had some of it on hand and acquired some though work, but the total on Mcmaster says $39.75. You might be able to find it cheaper elsewhere, not sure. There are also things that come in packs, so you will have a few extra of things.

(1) 4429K201 - Low-Pressure Brass Threaded Pipe Fitting, Inline Tee Reducer, 1/2 x 1/4 NPT Female
(2) 5346K68 - Brass Barbed Hose Fitting, 3/4" Hose ID, 1/2 NPTF Male End
(1) 4429K666 - Low-Pressure Brass Threaded Pipe Fitting Bushing Adapter W/Hex Body, 1/2 Male X 3/8 Fem NPT
(1) 5346K26 - Brass Barbed Hose Fitting, 5/16" Hose ID, 3/8 NPTF Male End, packs of 5
(1) 91355K87 - Brass Barbed Hose Fitting, Straight Connectors for 3/4" Hose ID, packs of 2

Then about 3' of 3/4" hose, and if you need it for the turbo maybe 6-8" of 5/16" hose

Thank you very much! I will be ordering this shortly so I can get my car back together yet again. I have the hardline ready to come out. Did you just cap off the coolant line for the throttle body? I have it bypassed now but I do not see a reason to keep the bypass when I can just eliminate it. Any reason to not do that?

Yeah, forgot about that. I had it caped off before, so this just eliminates it.

Alright cool. I hope this stuff ships quickly. I am supposed to be on the dyno tuning for e30 mix this weekend.

McMaster ships same day for 99% of things. You'll probably have it Wednesday or earlier if your order is already in.

And the closer you are to Ohio, the faster it will come lol. McMaster is about 20 min from me

There is a giant warehouse just outside of Chicago too. So when I order at 5pm, I have it at 10am the next day

Looks like everything came from the IL facility. 3 days isn't so bad to reach CO.

I did not do my due diligence when ordering these fittings but the tee is 1/4 and the turbo coolant return fittings I ordered were 3/8 so I had to go pick up a 1/4 npt male lol. I did not use the adapter either. I think the tee was supposed to not be a reducer. Like all 3 legs 1/2 npt. But seeing as you can get a reducer tee you will save like $3 buying this reducer tee and the 1/4 npt fitting.

Shoot, did I tell you something wrong? My bad. I will double check my list so that anyone else who uses it can get it right

No worries. The store near my parents place had the one last part I needed.

So Im a dumb ass and was working on my spare fuel pump basket when I dropped it on a tial floor and broke the nipple off.


luckily I found someone who shipped me a spare for the cost of shipping, but I wanted to fix mine as well. So a bit of time on the lathe and hopefully I can thread this in there:

Other than that. its just been chasing leaks (coolant and oil) Hopefully both are fixed, but if Im still leaking oil, I think its the timing cover, so that will suck a lot.

Out of town next week, but hopefully I can get things up and running here soon.
