I'm wondering about the reliability of the ebay steel braided oil line kits and how well the adapters hold up to high heat on the turbo. Does anyone have experience with these? Do the brackets warp from the heat on the turbo? Taking the turbo off would definitely be easier with this immovable metal line out of the way. I'm also wondering if the Gen II uses the same fitting on the block/turbo that the Gen III uses, and furthermore if the 2jz does as well.

I'm also wondering if the Gen II uses the same fitting on the block/turbo that the Gen III uses, and furthermore if the 2jz does as well. just went this route. I got the kit from kinugawa turbo and i'm pretty sure they sell on ebay. the brackets for the turbo looks as thick or thicker than the stock hard lines, dont know what the actual metal composition is compared to stock. I wont know about longevity untill i start driving it . you can check my project thread i actually took several pictures to put together a how to on this, i'll try add the pics this evening when i get in. one thing to note is the water lines dont fit in the stock location you have to switch the block off plate and move the coolant lines to front of the turbo otherwise it wont clear the exhaust manifold. also most of the "kit" is not needed, i would have been better off just getting the fittings for the turbo and sourcing the rest myself cheaper. hopefully this info will help others looking into this and i believe the fitting your looking for is gonna be m12x1.25 - gen3 m18x1.5 - gen2 This post has been edited by JasonTX: Jan 26, 2014 - 6:45 AM -------------------- JN 3:16
