ndwgolf Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Guys, The oil line to my turbo burst and it was a 3/8" line, the new line I got back from the hydraulic shop is a 1/4" line. My question is will this line be big enough for my turbo?? Thanks in advance Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiversteve Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 There was a reason it was 3/8". Otherwise Toyota would not havemade it that size. Flow rate through the pipe is a square function of its area, in otherwords the 1/4" pipe will have less than half the flowrate. Dont do it!

Chris Wilson Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 It should be adequate, especially if it's a ball bearing turbo, which will have a small restrictor in its feed anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
