i have a 13g off a 6th generation VR4 galant and i'm having a hell of a time finding fittings to go into the oil feed inlet and the water inlet/outlet. i'm going to get AN-barb or flare-barb fittings, but i've been to two plumbing/hose adapter stores and they are completely stumped on what fits. does anyone know the specifications or thread sizes to these inlets/outlet? again, the oil feed and water feed and return, thanks

13g off a 6gvr4? I never knew they came with anything except 14bs. Call up RRE, tell them you have a 13g, they should be able to hook you up.

should be the exact same as the 14b. the 13g came on automatic trans motors. my jdm motor had one on it. all the lines are identical, just the turbo is smaller.

actually the cartridge is different for whatever reason. i sent him a set of lines i had from one of my extra 14b's. i also matched him up some fittings at a hydrolic store using a 14b cartridge. no dice

try a m10x1.5 (or 1.25 i cant find my reciept) to -an4 or 3 that should work for you. you will need to go to a big industrial hose and fitting place or order it online. you could go to mitsu and get the oil feed from them and get a -an banjo fitting adapter or just use the stock line an modify it to work with your setup. this is what i was talking about when i said piecing together a kit is a pain in the ass its little stuff like this that will give you a headache but remember it is all worth it in the end good luck man hit me up if you need any more help

ok guys, i went to mitsubishi dealership today, spent 30 minutes walking this guy through how a turbo gets oil and coolant and sends the coolant back. i ordered the oil feed banjo bolt, water feed banjo bolt and water return banjo bolt. i figure once i get the banjo bolts and if they fit i can get a custom banjo fitting made at this industrial hose place by my house.

and underated, i'm gonna try those two measurements tommorow at the hose store. thanks for the help guys

then his turbo is from something else. i reused the lines on my vr4 when i installed the jdm motor. i reused the oil drain line from my original motor, and i gave the jdm one to a talon owner, it bolted right up. the only completely different parts was the sheet metal cover between the block and the bell housing(didnt find out until AFTER i had installted the trans, then the LAST freakin bolt for the starter would not go thru. had to drop the trans, remove clutch, flywheel, yada, yada). and the little spacer in the back of the crank. THAT was a beyatch, too.
