I use the Summit brand... any of them cost... these Summit ones are just a little less pricey... try plumbing a dry sump.. that will get real pricey even with the less pricey ones

Over on the EBAG, there is a company called Professional Products that sells a 5 pack of fittings, in all sizes and shapes for a really killer price.. So me, being Mr Tightbehind, bought everything I needed for my last motor build and saved a ton of money.. But today, I am slowly replacing the fittings because after a short period of time, the swivel part of the fitting stopped swivelling.. and we all know what a pain it is to remove a fitting only to have the entire hose spins too.. So I saved a dollar to waste a dollar..

If you mix brands of hose and fittings sometimes they dont play well together. My entire fuel system is Earls Pro Lite 350 hose and Earls fittings. The tranny cooler lines are stainless braid from summit with their fittings.
If you dont mind having a summit or jegs logo on them, i've had no issues with their house brands.

I've had good luck with the summit brand. Every now and then you get a stubborn swivel, but I've had that with a couple different brands.

The water manifold blocks that I sell can be fitted with hose fittings rather than AN fittings. Then you just cut the rubber lines to size and use a hose clamp. Shouldn't cost more than a few bucks to do all the plumbing this way.
I'd like to see more of your set up with these. Looks cool! I'd like to redo my turbo set up and move it front and center. If that big ol pump was gone it would make life way easier..

"If it's not show quality you are after and just fluid conveyence...then try the industrial hyd hose/fitting route."
So true. One of my sons is a heavy equipment mechanic, and we go to his employer and get those all the time. Most all heavy equipment uses hoses with those ends. Heck, they can probably make you the whole hose for the price of a couple of Earl's fittings.
