Ive got the car running with the s15 turbo and its great apart from the oil drain line bursting and pissing oil all over the bottom of the engine. what hose are you guys using? i have some gates premoflex high temp oil hose here but after checking online it is only rated at 100c continuous.

Speed flow fire rated hose with speed flow fire sleeve because that's what the local rod shop sells and it works.

How's it going tuned it yet?

i literally drove it 500m before the oil line burst.. with the greddy emanage im seeing 12.0 afr at 8psi

Cool when's it come on boost? What exhaust?

It shouldn't be under any pressure by the way. Overheating and melting yes bursting no.

it was split just under the the top hose clamp and was spraying when i was on boost. exhaust is a cobalt cat back with the factory cat but that will get changed out. i just wanted it running before the end of the holiday period which it is.

Sounds like the hose clamp cut into it to me without seeing it.

Im running a blue goodyear high temp oil hose I think its rated to 120 degrees maybe. Been in for 7 years and its still in great condition

Yep - I've put the blue dunlop stuff of 4 or 5 cars to replace aging stock stuff. Always worked fine.

I'd go to the local hose shop (pirtek/enzed etc) and explain what it's for and they'll fix you up.
