I am trying to adapt the Vortech SFMU to the Hahn Turbo kit. I know that the "IN" line to the regulator is 1/4" hose and the "OUT" (return) line is 5/16". The fittings on the vortech sfmu are -6 JIC fittings. I have found a company online that makes the following parts:

1/4" hose barb to 3/8" female JIC swivel
5/16" hose barb to 3/8" female JIC swivel

I believe JIC is measured in 16ths. Correct me if I am wrong but a -6 JIC fitting is 6/16ths or 3/8" right? The other question I have is the JIC fittings on the vortech has a flare end. Will a female JIC connector allow/mate properly to this flare? I am assuming all JIC both female and male have a flare end.

Let me know if I am correct as I would like to order these fittings.


Thanks,
Kurt

Don't really know the term "JIC". I'm more familiar with "AN" fittings. Summit and Jegs sell these fittings made by Earl's or Aeroquip. I personally used -06 AN to NPT adapters on my old S-FMU. Then I put a NPT to barb adapter on that. The S-FMU is set up to use O-rings to seal the fittings. You just pull the old O-rings off of the included fittings and re-use them (or buy new). That way you don't have to worry about the flare angle matching up (there are at least 2 possible flare angles).
