    WTB - Vortech Oil Feed Fitting

    As the title says, looking for an oil feed fitting for a blower I just picked up. Just need the fitting that goes directly into the S/Cer.

    As you can see, the one I got with it is broke.

    I am pretty sure it is just a -AN fitting, so you can make your own, they are usually -6an in size.

    No, its a tube you have to buy from Vortech. Not cheap either. It has a tiny orfice that shoots iol on the gears in the blower.

    Also, its a -4.

    Thats not going to do you any good.!!!!! You still need the part that goes inside the blower. If you cheap out on it your gonna blow that thing apart. That nipple goes directly on top of the gears and lubes them. Look in with a flashlight. It sprays oil right where the two mesh together.

    The stuff from superchargeronline can be sourced from home depot for about 10 bucks. Thats how I did mine.

    I posted the wrong link.
    I found a kit with the nozzle + braided hose and fittings for $79. Now I can't remember where I saw it.

    In that case, if its the correct nozzle, get it. A ton of people over tighten these and break them off. Vortech makes more money selling these things than they do on selling blower kits. HAHAHHAHAHAHAHA

    Actually got a brand new UPR one with the kit I bought.
    I have the whole thing sitting in my dining room trying to figure out what goes where. Too cold in the garage.
    It's a used A trim.

    Nice. If you need any assistance I could possibly swing by. I also have a metal charge pipe that I made if you want it. Free. Looks great too. Better that the plastic piece you have there.

    Thanks for the offer. When I'm ready to install it on the car I could use some help. This is my first s/cer so it's all new to me.
    I'm gonna have to buy a few pieces before it goes on the car.
    I don't drive the Mustang in the winter anyway, so it may be a while.
    I'm just trying to familiarize myself with all the parts, especially all the nuts and bolts.
    I think I have the main bracket squared away, but there's a few things I can't figure out.
    1. There's a small billet tensioner that I don't know how to mount.
    2. Not sure which disc the FMU has in it.
    3. Do I need to use my smog pump delete ?
    4. My pan is already tapped, but I need the fitting for the oil drain.
    5. Lots of nuts and bolts that I'm not sure where they belong. The guy did a nice job of packing the stuff up, but naturally nothing was marked as to where it went. (used kit)

    Whats the billit tensioner? Is it rectangled shaped? If so, it mounts where the smog pump deletre goes. The curved "L" shaped steel part, which is called the alternator stay mounts to it. Then the alt mounts to that. It allflows together very fast and easy. Takes about an hour or so to mount everything up. If its the rounded looking part, that mounts kinda in the center and your belt tensioner goes on it.
