schwab Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I ran a new oil feed to the turbo with a sandwich plate and filter. What should I do with the existing line? Should I cap it at the joint before the turbo? If so does anyone know what it is? Or should I chase it back to the block and plug it there? Thanks in advance, let me know what you think.

Max Capacity Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I'd put a AN cap on the joint if you can get that joint apart. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it. Engine Build - Click Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berge56 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 That oil feed line also feeds the AVCS for the passenger side head. I would make a braided line go from the back of the block directly to the AVCS oil feed. Less chance for oil leaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 You can just cap the joint before the banjo fitting. I wasn't able to get mine apart when I did the engine back when this photo was taken. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).

schwab Posted September 11, 2019 Author Share Posted September 11, 2019 I ordered a 6 AN cap, hope that fits. Couldn't find anything locally on Sunday. Thanks Max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 For some reason I think its a -4AN. -6 is 3/8" Joplin, you must have a supply house the local Farmers use to repair their equipment and get hydraulic lines from. You should be able to get whatever you need locally. Think outside the box. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).
