TD04 coolant banjo fittings

ChicksDigWagons · 07-12-2003, 07:01 AM

Okay, so finally, after an excessive amount of time, I'm in the final stages of my turbo project. I'm set to jet, should be installing it in very soon. Except, I have one minor, yet major problem...

I can find very very few banjos that will suit the coolant feed/return on the stock WRX turbo. I have the bolts themselves, which seem to be 12mm - however, when it comes time to find banjos I'm at a loss.

I have found a few straight fittings with some ~1/4" hose barbs. I think 1/4" is a bit small for turbo coolant, plus the straight fittings are not going to work too well IMO.

I have also found some fittings from Earls. But, they are straight, with an AN end, include the bolt I don't need, and are also a whopping $17 apeice.

Ideally I'd like to find some 12mm banjos with at least 3/8" hose connections, an AN-6 could be okay if the fitting was a reasonable price. Even stock WRX fittings would be just fine if I could find some used. From all I can gather from my dealer and everywhere else, the turbo itself comes with the coolant fittings, and they can't be ordered separately. Or else nobody has a clue.

Heck, even stock fittings from some different car would work. Legacy turbo, DSMs, etc. They are pretty similar on most of the IHI and Mitsu turbos I've seen. Just needs to be 12mm, and I can make the rest work!

HELP! Otherwise I'm going to get a 12mm bolt, drill a hole through it on the lathe, seal it, and make a nice little barbed fitting. Come to think of it, thats not a bad idea.

You, my friend, are my SAVIOR! How come I couldn't find that number after hours of scouring the subaruparts.com exploded diagrams and even calling a dealership? Though, I think I may have a hard time justifying spending $61 on it. Guess I'm too much of a tightwad. Thanks a ton though!

I'll drop you a line one of these days to update you on all the nitty gritty.

No problem. I found them in a WRX parts catalogue. It is a bit pricey, but it's a very nice unit, plus I trust the factory parts more than I trust my ability to cobble together hose ends. Good luck with your project.

anyone got the part # for the oil inlet?

Keep in mind that feed pressures get up to 100-110psi during cold starts with thick fluid... a hose barb connection would need to be very good/strong to take that.

Hondaslayer · 08-08-2003, 10:37 PM

I have had no problems thus far.

In the coolant system? I wasn't using hose barbs for the oil system! lol. I used a banjo with -3AN stainless line.

I did end up making my water fittings however, they work exceptionally good. No leaks whatsoever. Score for me.

Heh, no... in the oil system. No idea what the coolant system pressure typically is, but I bet it's less then 30psi considering the size and type of the hoses it has to travel through.
