Here's the scoop: Greddy does not have any banjo fittings that fit into my oil pan in stock (not for atleast a month). The tech, who tried to address the slip oil drip, apparently torqued it too tight and broke/stripped one, which means that I'm Z-less until we conjure up a solution. Any suggestions? Here's a pic of the brass banjo fitting installed on the oil pan:



Any help will be greatly appreciated!

 

well i do know of a solution for you. my friend installed my kit and he used aftermarket units for the sole purpose(greddy units are notorious for breaking depends on the tech) so if you'd like to call him? do so. shop name is JER in garden grove california ask for Hein (714) 638-1116 hours 9 am till 5 pm 6 days a week. tell him Gerard from the forum referred you. he will take care of you. he's a well knowledged tech!!

 

i would find it difficult to beleive that the bolt itself stripped before the threads in the aluminum pan would?

 

Gerard:

I appreciate that . . . there's a slight chance that I may get the parts from a Injected Performance (local), but should that fall through, I'll call your guy.

I only need:

Part #25: Male Oil Pressure Banjo Fitting (Looks like a bolt)
Part #26: 10mm Copper Washers (2 to be safe)

Anyone else have these in stock?

 

Charles, thanks for the sigh of relief *LOL* . . . now you've got me paranoid!

you could put your stock oil pan on, and have a new fitting welded into place?

 

True, true . . . considering the options, I would much rather find the parts than to have to resort to that Perhaps, I'll just hitch hike on up to Charlotte (I was there less than a month ago--went to Coyote Ugly ) and snag gq's fittings & oil pan

 

From what I gather, I have one of the first production Greddy kits. They're newer kits don't use this same oil pan according to the installation pages at Greddy.com. Their newer pan has fittings already on their pan, so all you have to do is attach the return lines.

The banjo bolt (male) that I need has a 22mm bolt head and 10mm orifice . . . anyone know where I can find something like this online or locally?

Odds are, I may have to weld in a union section and attach a 90 degree elbow with a barbed end and slide the return line on it . . .

Yup...just to the welding job. Just as secure, and a much faster fix.

And no... you cant have my oil pan and fittings.
