There are certain things you can do to improve the performance of turbocharged engines. And on top of this list are proper lubrication and cooling. To ensure this, you will need to have a proper turbocharger oil feed and return line kit. In this article we will be going through some of the accessories included in the kit.
You can find Gryphontek turbo line kits online but you need to make sure that you purchase from a reputed seller so that the quality and authenticity of the product are not in doubt. The oil feed line is an essential component of this kit and you need to read the product description to check whether this line is made of quality materials that are designed to bear the high pressures and temperatures that are generated during turbocharger operation. Make sure that there are durable materials such as stainless steel braided hoses to ensure its resistance to heat and oil. The oil feed fitting is connected to the oil supply of the engine and this ensures the turbocharger receives an uninterrupted flow of oil that is consistent. This ensures proper lubrication of the turbocharger so that its performance is not affected negatively.
The connection
Between the engine’s oil supply and the oil feed line is the oil adapter fitting and you need to make sure that it is compatible with the oil ports of the engine. Make sure that it is securely connected preventing potential leaks. Check for an adapter that matches the specifications of your engine so that you can ensure it is a perfect fit. You will see copper crush washers used with the oil adapter fitting and this ensures a tight seal around it. When there is high pressure, the washers will deform so that a leak free connection between the oil supply port of the engine and the oil adapter fitting can be maintained. Another component of the oil feed return line kit is the oil drain hose and this is used to transport oil away from the turbocharger and to the oil pan of the engine. You need to make sure that this is heat resistant and durable. This is why stainless steel braided hoses are commonly used for this application.
The connection between
The turbocharger and the oil drain hose is facilitated by the oil drain flange and this has threaded holes to mount and secure it. This should be made from strong materials so that it can withstand the conditions of turbocharger operation. There will be an oil drain flange gasket placed between the turbocharger housing and the oil drain flange to ensure a leak free connection. It also prevents contaminants from entering the turbocharger. There is a 45-degree elbow fitting connecting the oil pan of the engine and the oil drain hose and this will prevent any obstructions ensuring that used oil flow is consistent and uninterrupted. There will also be several clamps provided to you in the oil feed return line kit and these are used to secure fittings and hoses in place. This way, the components are kept in one place without moving and any leaks can also be prevented.
