R26 Turbo oil feed pipe seal

  1. Evening folks,

    I’m in the process of putting my engine back together following a rebuild and a few upgrades. The turbo is a standard 14T that has been machined etc to a hybrid. I bought a Renault turbo seal kit which seems to cover all the oil supply seals, however, I can’t find where the tiny green O-ring should go.

    Has anyone got experience of this? I’ve attached the only photo I can find with the oil feed hose in situ - I’ve noticed that it has a braided section which doesn’t seem to match a standard mk2 one. I wondered if it is a mk3 pipe or similar, and this might explain the lack of O-ring.

    Any pointers welcome!

    There are two types of fixings for the oil feed to the turbo, the kit will contain both, so discard what isn't needed

  4. No o ring on the early ones. Only on the later type which is on mk3 rs as far as i know.

  5. Thank you for all the comments. Something that I probably should have mentioned in the original post is that I never came across the small green o-ring when I disassembled. I found the photo below which shows the HP side fitting as it came out of the turbo - doesn’t match the schematic posted above. Rather than having a recess for an o-ring, it is more like a tapered cone fitting union. Hopefully I’m safe to assume that this is the type that needs no seal and therefore I can do as suggested with the green o-ring and the bin!

    That's a tapered fit fitting, no "O" ring required
