Ok I can't decide what I want. I have shopped around and bought used parts here and there and almost have everything to install a s400 frame charger on my truck. I did how ever buy a new oil line kit from merchant auto to install a s4 in the valley. My question is will this kit work with a 300 series charger as well? I'm thinking I may want to put a s366 on my truck now. Sorry if this is a dumb question I've looked around some and really haven't had much luck finding a answer.

I think it would as long as the fitting in the turbo was the same size.

Out of curiosity, what is the OD/ID of that hose? Or the ID of the fitting at least at it's narrowest point. I need one as well but I'm going to have to make mine as it needs to be shorter in my truck.

Talked to Dave at HSP today and he informed me the s400 kit will work on a 300 frame as I emailed him about it and he sent me the link to merchant auto for the drain line kit they use

Anyone able to answer this yet?

Curious why yours has to be shorter? I can measure the Hoses if need be

Because I made a custom drain back before kits existed modifying my stock drain. So I need to know what the ID is so when I make my hose and fittings up I don't go to small.
It's much easier and cheaper for me to get a hose made up locally.

So the kit from merchant is -6AN feed I looked at stuff online to size it and it says 3/8od equivalent and .34"id
-10AN drain says 5/8 od equivalent and .56"id


I do know that 5/8 drain line is what you want and I'd shoot for 3/8 feed line.


Lengths I can't measure since they are buried now
