ok people with a GT30 or GT35R etc on a highrise manifold how long will my oil return and highpressure line need to be?

Found this and wondering if it will be any good?

You will need it longer then that!
search for GCG turbo's mate as they do the kit for the 1jz.. With the Oil return,Your best to get it custom made to fit in piping not hose as I had the hose and it perishes over time and can be a very expensive day out if it fails wile driving.. = car fire!
With the high pressure oil feed GCG do a braid fit..

Make sure your oil return has an ID of at least 18mm - anything less and you may push oil past your seals.

Those fittings on eBay have an ID of 10mm at their smallest point - way too small for any turbo setup. I had major issues with ebay oil drains and feeds.

Factory CT12 turbos have an ID of around 22-23mm!

thanks costa, my mates a boilermaker so might get him to weld me up a drain and get a high pressure line fabricated by the local shop.

Coolant lines should be a worry with normal hose with some hightemp insulation around them? Or should i get some braided lines made up as well?

Go braid with the water lines too mate.. better of cause in the long run you will have to replace those too due to heat if you use normal hose.. I've had to do that twice now!

Only get braided if your sure the hoses aren't going to touch anything. If there the perfect length thats fine, but if they start rubbing on stuff they will saw through it. (especially alloy pipes )
