Front Turbo Banjo

[jjayokocha]

Almost finished changing the front turbo on my VR-4 but the banjo bolt that goes into the top of it (Oil Feed) has snapped. Best to get it from Mitsi or can i get them elsewhere as i need it tomorrow?

Should be able to get one from most motorpsort places , just make sure it is the same lenght an pitch as the original one

The head that snapped off the bolt i cnt find now, i only have the bolt up to as far as the little holes either side of it. Does anyone know the type or sizes of them?

Many years ago I had the head of a banjo bolt on a turbo pop off whilst on track. It was a water feed, not the oil though. I tried to find a bolt to fit but everything local was the wrong thread pitch.

One of the water banjo bolts broke aswell but lucky i had 4 spare but no oil banjo :(. Would i be correct in saying that from that link part number 12786 would be the front oil feed banjo bolt?

[Nutter_John]

Looks like thats the bolt into the turbo , so I would say yes

if someone has Caps you can cross ref that part number to so what other models it fits and it should also give you the size

Cheers everyone for the advice. I might just rings Mitsi in Dungannon tomorrow and see if they can get the part here, Toyota here can normally get a part for the GT by 2pm the same day.

According to Mitsi they havent had to stock that part before so could have to come from Japan :(. The top of the banjo snapped off and i cnt find it to even try get a universal one.

I've got a couple kicking around.

Cheers dublee, they are a bargain but how do i know what size i need as it shows 3 different sizes 3/8 unf, M10 or 7/16? the water feed banjo seems bigger then the oil feed one.

Right people, Mark was decent enough to txt me a pic today of a range of banjo bolts he had, i looked at it but from my phone it looked like the bolt on the far left, but since i got home and put the pic on my pc the gf reckons its the one on the far right. can someone please confirm which one in the pic is the banjo bolt that goes into the top of the front turbo just in under the manifold.

From memory, I think it is the far right. I think the extended head allows access around the water and oil pipes all coming together at the same place.

Big thanks to Mark for sending me the banjo bolt, cheers mate. Mitsi said £6.99 for a new one and id have to wait 3 weeks
