I have been looking for the correct fitting for this. I know it is 16mm x 1.5 but I would like to find a fitting that goes straight to -4 from 16mm x 1.5. What do people use for that fitting?

thanks

You can also drill out the 2-bolt adapter block by the oil filter for a 1/8NPT x -04 male fitting.
This is actually the most common approach to getting oil to the turbo(s).
It's almost like GM designed it just for this purpose.

I would do that but this car has a milodon pan and oil cooler adapter instead of that block. I found a fitting to get me where I want. This fitting:http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ATM-2268/ and a -4 to 1/8npt will work great out of the front oil galley plug. I also just made one out of two fittings so I will see which one I use.

If you have a remote oil filter just drill and tap the top of the remote filer on the clean oil side and run the line to the turbo that's what I do you always want clean filtered oil going to the turbo and if you have a oil cooler to cooling it before filtering would be better for the turbo

No oil cooler for the engine oil on the car yet.
There will be a temp gauge in the pan to keep an eye on the oil temp, if it does get to hot because of the turbo then one will just be added in later.

That number doesn't come up. Are you sure you got it right? Either way, the fitting I made should work fine but in the future, an off the shelf fitting will save me the 20 minutes making one.

yes it does, just google the part number and it appears.

Ok I see. I just punched it in at Summit. They don't have the Earls UK listing I guess.

Earls UK, source all their stock from the US.

Although it is possible they do have some stuff made locally. But I know anytime Ive ordered stuff from them and it hasnt been in stock, its always been coming from the US
