You bought another 914? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Group: Benefactors Posts: 7,624 Joined: 27-June 03 From: Portage, IN Member No.: 865 Region Association: None ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Most of you know I bought an old FP racer last fall. The car was setup with a dry sump system for /4 engine. It now has a nice 2.4 /6 in it, but there are some concerns that the oil lines are to small for the amount of oil needed for the /6 engine.
I know its not going to be cheap to replace all the braided oil lines, but I want to make sure this is done right and not F up my /6 engine. So what is the proper size oil line needed? AN-12 or AN-16? I think what is in there now is AN10. Also I assume I will need a higher capacity oil tank (16 quart) since I think the one in there now is not a 16 quart one. Yes? I have been on the PMS website and tanks are $421 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) and hose is $10 - $11 perfoot, plus I will need fittings also. Needless to say, I will be driving my other 914 for a while. |

Newbie question to tack on to this thread (and sorry for hijacking (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) ) :
Where does the AN-10, -12, -16 or whatever come from? How is it measured? And what size (mm) is, say, an AN hose or fitting? Does anyone know what the stock size of the 2.0L /6 sizes are? |

Each number in the dash = 1/16=". -10 = 5/8. -12= 3/4, -16 = 1" AN refers to a type of flared threaded fitting not a specific size.
