oil fittings, aluminum ok?
so as i assemble a list to place a large order from summit for my oil feed and return lines, i have one question. is aluminum ok for the fitting into the block oil feed location? generally my gut is telling me an aluminum fitting into a steel block is a bad idea, but anyone want to tell me otherwise?
since it's a greddy turbo, my feed line is a -4an line with a 10mm x 1.50 to -4an adpater for the block, side, and a 10mm x 1.25 to -4an adapter for the turbo side, possibly with some 90 degree action on the turbo side to make things a bit cleaner.
sound about right? aluminum safe, or does anyone have a link to where i can get the above in non-aluminum?

When I built my turbo feed line, I used a -4AN to M10 banjo fitting with an M10x1.5 banjo bolt to go into the block. Summit carries them under brake hardware. Then a 45° -4AN hose end to go onto it, and up to the turbo.

sounds god. i'll look for banjo fittings for the block and turbo. only issue is it looks like they only sell the damn things in pairs for brake jobs... anyone want me to make an extra greddy feed line? lol
the only tihng is, the greddy oil feed port is 10mm x 1.25, right?
thanks for the tips, guys.

The feed from the block is M10x1.5. The feed into the turbo is M10x1.25.
You're going to need two -4AN to M10 banjo fittings, and these parts are the same between turbo and block. (the exception being that I used one with a long neck to feed the turbo, and at the block I used a short one.)
The bolts and washers are sold separately, and this is what determines the thread pitch (1.25 vs. 1.5)
Here are banjo fittings by themselves:

Also, here are some pictures of how my oil feed and drain setup went together:

Most of the plumbing fittings they sell are made by Aeroquip, Russel, Earl's, and other well-known manufacturers. Even the ones sold under the no-name Summit brand seem to be of roughly equal quality to the low-end (non-swivel) Earl's fittings.
