CloudSeed777 Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 You don't understand.. I wish I took a picture of it but I had both of them on the bench and you can see just by looking at it that the bolt for the new turbo is smaller in diameter then the old one for the coolant line.. I know which is which it's pretty hard to screw up.. I already put the oil return on and when I went to go to the coolant line that's when I saw the issue. The only thing I can think of is hope they make a smaller banjo bolt or tap it to the stock size which might be hard or not. You can see the banjo bolts on this page: http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/2005-outback-xt-rebuild-chronicles-233261p7.html As for the size, the only one that is different diameter is the oil feed b-bolt that has the restriction. The others are the same diameter. One is longer and attaches the coolant hard line to the block as seen on the page above. If your new turbo has a different sized banjo bolt you may be able to pick one up at NAPA or O'Rielleys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1-3-2-4 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Ugh napa only had the 82701 part number bolts.. I don't trust it as when screwed in it still wiggles it's not a metric bolt which has to do with it.. I told them to find out the bolt pitch nope.. idiots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JmP6889928 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Take it to Lowe's to find out the pitch thread if you don't have a gauge. You can also try different dies on it if you have a complete set. Most likely a 12Mx1.25 I would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I noticed on the bolts from Napa the hole in the bolt was much smaller vs this Russell bolthttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/01/24/eeb80ab6b4700edae64dd4b2298606df.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-3-2-4 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Yep seems to be m12x1.25 damn forgot to see how long the bolt is in mm I wish I could find it local but does not seem to be the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JmP6889928 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Google Russell and see if you can find a place close to you that stocks some Russell parts. If so, have them order it in for you and you can pick them up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-3-2-4 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I don't understand AN fittings but it seems Russell is the only one that might have It Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JmP6889928 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 AN fittings were developed in the 1930's for the Army and Navy for aircraft. They were supposed to be used on low pressure systems and used primarily for fuel systems and oiling systems on the aircraft at the time. They have since evolved into becoming the most widely used type of connector on custom vehicles primarily because you can disconnect them easily without any damage or destruction to the sealing surface. That's why they are all over race cars so they can remove parts and replace them quickly and easily without fear of failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-3-2-4 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Yeah but as you know the line is a hard line most I see is a screw on AN fitting.. how does a rubber line from the coolant tank become a AN fitting? What parts do I need? I need to order the parts tonight or tomorrow at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CloudSeed777 Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 Update 01/24/2015 SHE ROLLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well this journey that began Oct 24, 2014 comes to a close and a new one begins for me and this '05 OBXT. Today she runs, and runs strong! After replacing all four hard-as-a-rock valve breather hoses with new, supple ones in an attempt to remedy misfires on cylinders #1 and #3, I found the problem that has plagued my restart. If memory had served me correctly, I remembered that the smaller of each side's breather hoses had no hose clamps. But to be sure, I searched for a reference photo. I found a thread from Max Capacity that showed his engine on the stand with Passenger side head showing. Let me tell you, memory served me up a steamer! The smaller hoses indeed had no hose clamps on them, but after perusing Max's photo, something else caught my eye. The way his spark plug wires were routed on the passenger side head looked odd to me compared to how I remember routing mine. Upon closer inspection that's when it hit me. In his photo, the only black spark plug wire connector was on cylinder #3, NOT cylinder #1 where I had thought I remembered it being during my tear down, and where reason might tell one it belongs. A quick look at my own reference photos confirmed that all this time i had #1 and #3 spark plug wires swapped! W-T-Flock! After swapping the wires around, the car fired right up and idled smoothly with no more CEL codes. I topped off the transmission with fluid, and P0700 disappeared when I put the car in gear. After a quick check for leaks, I took the car on several trips around the block. The car drives really nice, and everything seems to be working as it should. I'm Looking forward to some road trips, and 1500 miles when i can put that JmP Custom VF-40 turbo through its paces! I want to give a big shout-out to the LegacyGt.com community and all those that helped with questions during my build. A special thanks to John Peirce for the Custom VF-40, the ground cables and his conversations. Another shout out to MrTris for reaching out to me in the beginning and sticking through the build process with information, and entertainment value added.

It's been a comedy of errors, but if I can do this and make it work, I believe most anyone can including you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaybird2013 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Awesome!!! What a great write-up! Guys like you, tris,Max, and JmP to mention a few are helping me immensely learn about these Subies. Happy for you man!!! Glad you figured out the breather hoses. The left front breather hose on the ps of my engine is like a piece of petrified wood! Found the hose in that condition a few days ago. I couldn't pull it off to get clearance to take out the ocv (experiencing oil pressure issues) car has been parked, and Rebuild is coming up in a few weeks, so it will be replaced then along with the other three.

Bravo! Happy your driving! It's alive!!! Way to go, dude! Such a wonderful feeling when it roars to life, right? Thanks guys! Yes, so awesome. Have taken her round the block more than a few times checking it out. Who in their right mind can easily keep the RPM's below 2500 for break in? I'll do my best. Will be hitting emissions testing in the morning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kzr750r1 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Yeah I'm gonna have the same issue keeping it below 3K for break in as well. Transmission fluid looking leveled out now? Remember not too much and not too little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember not too much and not too little. Trans is good. After topping it off, the P0700 transmission control code i was getting went away when I shifted it into gear. All's good.

CloudSeed777 Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 500 miles came fast! Doing the 500 mile oil change today. Suggestions on when I should change over to Rotella T6?
