okay... take a look at this


okay... imma try and explain this the best i can so bear with me.....the top silver line is a fitting that runs the oil feed line.. then theres that middle adapter in the middle which connects to that oil feed line... now that middle silver adapter goes in to that bronze adapter which fits the turbo housing.. my question is... the bronze adapter fits into the housing very well... and the silver apapter fits into the oil line very well i might add.. also used teflon to make sure a good fit... but the thread between the bronze fitting and silver middle adapter dont fit.. holes are same sized but different thread... so what i did was forced that bitch into there to make its own thread... now the problem is now it doesnt leak.. but after driving a while it starts to leak... so anyone know what the proper sized fittings would be and sizes??????

also u think if i just use some sealant or some honda bond or some jb weld i could just put over the forced area to make it fit???

by the way.. the car is done and painted and heres what it looks like


it went from this




to this





then finally to this

You may have an adaptor for on older civic. The older civic's used a different fitting, something called a BPST fitting, which has wierd threads....Make sure you have standard NPT threads....that might be your problem.
