Where to find this part?

[Csmyj]

I have a 94 idi turbo (k model). I changed my oil sending unit the other day and when I did it cracked the oil t where the sending goes in and oil feed line bolts to the turbo. I've called everywhere including ford and the part is obsolete now. Does anyone know of a place that might have this part and If anyone has a spare or old turbo with one I really appriciate the help.

International Part #- 1816388c1

Ford part # - f3tz6n652a


Thanks

[Csmyj]

Ok thanks! I've called and check every ford and international parts place I can and found nothing.

You wont. they quit making/stocking parts years ago.

Russ is the only person I was going to suggest contacting. If anyone has a spare he will.

 

[Csmyj]

Hope so, otherwise I'm gonna have to have one made more then likely to get it back on the road asap.

Mine was broken when i got it. If you unbolt it the turbo is threaded, so i bought a brass t and screwed it in, threaded the feed line fitting into it and then the sending unit.

I didn't notice it being threaded, good heads up! You don't by chance know what size T you got to screw into the turbo? I can take the sending unit and coupling to the feed line in to reduce.

I wanna say 3/8", but im not positive on that and its a long ways away from me right now. You'll need the brass t (pretty sure it has to be brass because cast wont fit between the exhaust and compressor housing), and a short nipple to thread into the turbo, then whatever reducers you need for the line/sensor. When I got mine all put together the feed line was almost exactly where it needed to be, maybe an eighth of an inch off, worked great.

I do not have a spare, and the threads in the turbo are 1/4 pipe. go to a hydraulic store and get a steel tee. with the leg male, it will work perfectly.

 

[Csmyj]

Ok guys thanks a bunch!

 

[Csmyj]

Went to the hydraulic store and got the 1/4 tee and and one reducer ($9). Bolted the sending unit and oil feed line on with no issues. Works and looks great! While I was doing that I went ahead and made a cold air intake tube out of some 3" PVC pipe I had. All and all a good productive day.

Thanks typ4 and Oregon96psd!!

Should I add anything to the threading, ie. Dope or tape? Great info, thank you all.

Technically it should be fine.
But I always to double my chances. Lol
Most everyone here is against the use of Teflon tape.
I have dope made by Blue Devil I've been using. I like it.

A liquid thread sealant is your best friend....never use teflon tape...throw that ***** as fast az u cam into garbage.
