I'm not Kenny, but I used these on my K24-7400:

I used to own the setup Kenny has, the adaptors were 034 motorsports parts. I dont think they sell the adaptors anymore. The 034 part was an all in one machined piece. The feed hose was teflon lined brained steel made up for a few bucks at a local hydraulics shop.

I was going to recommend getting a piece of plate and drill/tap it to take an AN fitting but I like berserkers setup with the pre threaded plate and add in your AN fitting.
Either way measurements are key to fit the adaptors where you need them, minor clearancing on the plate may be required.

The 034 parts are still available. Still show up on their site anyways.



They should still work fine. May need an NPT to AN adapter but otherwise should still work. I could choose to make them myself using AN fittings and hose or like your method, take them to a local hydraulics shop and get them to make up a hose quick. Should be relatively cheap either way.

You could have the pipe welded (no more vband) or do some strategic clearance work to make it fit.

for sure a fan of the custom oil feed, made the install easy. just need that fitting adapter for the block. for the return...I managed to keep the stock drain line... its tight...like really tight, but I mad it fit with the Vband. That being said, welding a pipe to the compressor housing would be the route id chose if I could go back. make things easy.

As per what Shawn said...the setup I have is his old setup. The adapters are 034 for the Feed line. The drain is stock which works great. Hurry now...034 had 5 adapter flange thingies left lol.

I'll be jumping on those flanges shortly.

Any of you have experience with the Aeroquip socketless stuff? They show they are well rated for most pressure applications. They might be a decent option versus making AN ended hoses. Easier to make in any case. Would probably add some Oetiker clamps for good measure.

The drain flange on the KKK turbos are the same as Holsets, which I believe is "standard T3" size as well.

Good tip! Definitely a cheaper option than the 034 part and more readily available.
