Home made STS kit almost done

I'm almost done, just have to finish some of the piping up and I'll be getting pictures up so everyone can see mine. I think it's looking pretty sweet. Does anyone know how much it is to have the piping jet hot coated or the like? I also routed my pipes a little differently going to the IC than any other I have seen yet, I hope this will help others in the future. BTW, Does anyone have the exact fittings they used for the oiling (3an-1/8 pipe thread for the oil filter fitting or) I could also use the other fittings ie: going into the T70 and out of. Thanks for any help you can give.

lol did you use any sts parts or did you custom all of it. You should just say it's a rear mount so some of these guys don't bash you lol

I'm pretty sure it's a 1/8 to -4 fitting.

It's all custom, using 2.5 in pipe to the fmic. I am hoping to have piping done by this afternoon and then I will start the oil plumbing. I still have a LOT of fittings from the race car but not the ones I need. Thanks for the info Slowhawk, I was going to use the fitting that came with the T70 but I'm sure it's a -3 because I tried some of my brake lines I had laying around (-4) and they were to big. Should I get a bigger fitting that uses -4? Also, is the fittng at the oil filter already tapped to a certain size or do I need to just tap it to what I want and would it matter if it is a -3 or a -4? Sorry for the questions but this is about the first time I've actually needed a little help from you guys. I can always wing it like usual but I'd rather have information from some one that knows
