Wagner EM - Very close to turbo oil line...Help

[Jonas_R]

Hi,

I was just wondering if it is a problem that my oil line to the turbo is very close to my wagner exhaust manifold?

I would say that it clears the manifold with maybe 10-15mm, but that it without the heat shield.

With the heat shield it will be very close 5mm, should I worry about this or is it ok?

Will take picture tomorrow and post it.

Just put the heat shield in between the EM and Oil line and it should be fine. I would not do it without the shield since some serious heat is generated from the EM.

Yup but I was just worried if the heat shield would transfer heat to the hose if they touch?

I'm getting fire protective hosing for my lines.

Url? or a pic?

Err search for goodridge, speedflow or xrp they all do it.

Your right Earls also do some good stuff.

Or www.speedflow.co.uk and Fay knows pretty much every thing

Or you could just legthen your lines away from the EM???

You can't with the standard, Wagner manifold as the turbo and manifold mounts so close to the head even lengthening them would not resolve the issue.

I've got to shorten my lines and also get a 90 degree JIC adapter for the water inlet so i'm totally happy with the way the lines route.

I'll second that on both points.
