That drain was one thing I was actually worried about, I think I may go a diff route on that one....
And as for a bov I have one just waiting to get to my shop so I can tig weld everything together..

Re: First time turbo setup D16z6
that oil drain for sure needs some attention or your gonna have a smoke bomb waiting. just re-clock the center setion so you can get more of a 'down hill' for the return. Once you cut Steves oil return so short, it doesnt really bend anymore, so be ready with some other line. Get a foot or so from Napa or wherever, cause you will continue to ---- with it. My other advice, did you JB weld the return bung in the oil pan? from the outside looks like you just bolted it in there. thats going to cause a leak....put some JB weld around it.
and get a cover on the flywheel.
other than that, its going to be a fun little beast.

Re: First time turbo setup D16z6
Yea Im going to work on that drain today. What I was actually thinking about doing was using the stock hard pipe return that comes on the 14b and at the point where it starts to slope down just hack it in half then connect the rubber tubing with clamps of course... Then it should be a pretty good slope straight down.....
On the drain flange I actually welded some nuts on the inside off the oil pan so I Could pull the bolts snug aginst the seal...Will that work I doubt it....Then I will be laying the good old JB down
As for the flywheel guard its sittin on my tool box just gotta clean off some of that good CV grease.....
