Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Borg Warner K27 Oil feed

[Kalaehina]

Anyone install a Borg warner turbo and have the oil feed line connection not matched up? Despite being a replacement bolt in turbo? Seems my stock oil feed line is much to big to thread into the oil feed port on the K27. Do we normally need to get an adapter? This is going into a 96 5 speed 4x4. Thanks for any info!

I think you unscrew the adapter from your old turbo... I just put an HX40 in my truck and had to take the adapter off of the HX35 I removed its the hex shaped piece that your oil feed line screws into

take care

Yup you're right, I guess when I looked at it, it seemed like it was all one piece, but when I got on it with the box end wrench (19MM), it came off pretty easy. Thanks for the advice!
