RE: turbo oil & water gates.

["TM" <mizutanit@mindspring.com>]

I'm interested in this, Javad. How does one go about replumbing the oil
lines for Aeroquip hoses? Is this something better left to a pro? I believe
a mechanic local to me has his 5kcstq done this way, but he gets the stuff
at wholesale prices. I know practically every line in his racecar is
Aeroquip.

    My original email made it quite clear that I did not desire to alter the
capacity of the lines, so...
    You obviously have never priced out the stock lines...dealer list for
the
two oil lines alone is about $150 each!  The oil cooler lines are another
$300.  Or, you could probably do all the lines in Aeroquip hose and reusable
AN fittings for $100, which also happen to be of superior quality.  I have
heard of two Ur-Q's burning to the ground because of burst turbo oil
lines...
