Dear All,
does anyone have any oil feed pipes which go from the oil filter to the turbo on 5.9 Cummins? They are 5/8UNF thread.

Re: Cummins BT 5.9 turbo oil feed
Thanks Ben,
very similar, but the end at the oil filter is a straight hose tail, not an elbow. Unfortunately, due to lockdown won't be able to see if I could make it fit until 3 Dec. However, I am also looking to make up hoses. For wider FOC information, the fittings are 5/8 UNF which is easiest to convert to JIC elbows at the turbo end. I am assuming the 5/16 I'd hose size is designed for the right flow, not too much or too little, so will adapt to 5/16 hose, unless anyone can confirm that hose diameter doesn't matter if bigger, or if the restrictor for oil flow is the turbo, so the turbo and remainder of the engine both get correct oil flow.
