early carbed 900: can't find external oil lines to head or banjos

Getting them made would give you any colour outer coating you like. The Frentubo one's I saw were blue lines with red fittings iirc. They were a specific kit for the oil jacket Monsters.

You're pushing all of his buttons at once, be careful!

Motowheels carries the frentubo oil line for the S4.

Might work...

I'm a proud enabler.

Hmm, that's right, Kevlar. Surely they could chase up the old kit for BN? I remember the colours now, quite distinctive. Frentubo still make the oil cooler lines for old Monsters, so it's worth enquiring about the barrel drain lines.

Thanks for all the replies. Getting them made is something I've thought to go out and inquire about, I just prefer to problem solve and shop online.

The S4 kit DP posted seems essentially the same as the 996 "Kevlar" kit I asked about. If the lines are there just to drain oil back to the case, wouldn't draining to the oil cooler accomplish the same thing? I just have no idea if that would negatively effect oil pressure or not...I don't see how it would. It's just a different path back to the case is all..

Get the model specific kit, just to be sure. Email MW or Frentubo. I would.

Oil cooler is pressurized.

Sidecover is not.

The cylinders need to drain to a non-pressurized area.

^ That's why I was harping on about it. I was uneasy for a reason.

Got it. I want to use the extra inlet in my OC for my pressure switch anyway. So Speeddog if I'm understanding you correctly, custom lines with banjos that have smaller holes could not only work, but actually provide a benefit by improved cooling of the heads? The only thing that isn't quite clear is that Bruce Meyers only mentions this mod in regards to the vertical head, not both heads.

Looks like I'm going to have to make my own. I don't quite understand how Monsta was able to stroll into a hose shop in Australia and have them made, yet 3 fluid line companies in Cleveland OH all acted like I was speaking Greek when I showed them this line. Silliness. I need to move to Australia.

Within 15 mins there are two shops that will make oil lines and one that makes DOT approved brake lines. I don't understand it, so many shops make turbo oil lines.

I think it's the proximity to New Zealand.

Maybe I should seek out a speed shop then...those are pretty much the same type of hose and fittings that turbo systems use.

MMmmm....New Zealand

We have our share of turbo grey import cars. Ay!
