Shotokan1509 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 And for the record that picture shows a restricted side of the banjo bolt from Subaru... mine was not, it was same on both sides but my turbo was replaced under warranty by Subaru early in it's life so maybe they swapped it then.

Shotokan1509 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 A tiny dab of Permatex will hold it to the face while you slide the bolt in. It was getting it to the face in the first place with everything else installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mega Users paintpollz Posted October 11, 2011 Mega Users Share Posted October 11, 2011 thanks PC, there is no banjo bolt there. I took the bolt out that was there and it looks like just a plug. The bolt did have oil on it, but it did not secure an oil line to the side of the block like in your picture. its a hollowed out bolt with a pin size hole at the top, with no filter, and screwed straight into the block. The bolt was a hex withOUT the circle on the top. any 07 owners with other insight? "Remember Danny - Two wrongs don't make a right but three rights make a left."

Mega Users paintpollz Posted October 13, 2011 Mega Users Share Posted October 13, 2011 bump for a little help from the 2007 owners that have done this "Remember Danny - Two wrongs don't make a right but three rights make a left." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mega Users paintpollz Posted October 25, 2011 Mega Users Share Posted October 25, 2011 I went to the dealer to get a new banjo filter, they said they only sell the bolt, and told me it may have the filter in it. I had to order it and it just got shipped in. I just picked the bolt up today, no filter in it. is it a safe assumption that my car MAY have a banjo, that subaru doesn't make banjo filters for the 07s, and that I should go in to the second banjo location (first one there was no filter), and just replace that with the new bolt that I picked up from the dealer?

PCvillain Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 no idea about the 07 but sounds like many newer models do not have the filter. Many also say they took it out with no problems many 10's of thousands miles afterwards. The going theory is with 3k or less oil changes and using a good quality oil, you shouldn't need this filter. With good maintenance, the filter wont have particles to remove and then won't clog so therefore unnecessary. I would agree with this. I also think keeping this in and checking every 15k is a good indicator of wear and tear on the engine. It takes 45 minutes or so to check. Of course it takes minutes to take a sample and ship to http://www.blackstone-labs.com/free-test-kits.php $25 to check whole engine for weirdness.

Wagonation Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 And for the record that picture shows a restricted side of the banjo bolt from Subaru... mine was not, it was same on both sides but my turbo was replaced under warranty by Subaru early in it's life so maybe they swapped it then. Do you mean the bolt itself or the surrounding tube that it goes through? There are two restrictions, one in each (bolt and turbo feed side), correct? If you mean the bolt, I wonder if it is a good idea to replace the bolt with one like you have, instead of just removing the screen and putting the bolt back in. Any idea what the part is? It sounds similar to the FP bolt. You would still have the restriction in the tube around the bolt so the stock turbo shouldnt be getting too much oil.
