Almost done, stupid turbo project.. will update soon
 
Ok, just got to finish cutting that stainless line for oil return, finish the oil feed, coolant then just attach charge pipes....

damn, was it hard taking off the stupid ass oil sensor, i hate that... otherwise, everything was ok... stupid 02 sensor was a bitch too....

a quick question... i got my rhb5 turbo here and i tried for fun to fill oil thru the oil feed MANUALLY.. it just fills the hole up.. is this normal? is the engine pressure suppose to force the oil thru the oil feed hole in the center section so that's why i can't let gravity drain it through?

yeah that damn oil pressure sensor is annoying. Whats your oil drain setup? I need a new one haha. And I think it pushes it through. So when you put the turbo in. Pull the fuel pump fuse, pull the wires, and pull the injector fuses. And crank the car over a 5 times or so. That'll lubricate it good. Thats what I did.

yteah so the oil feed "NEEDS" pressure or else it can't function eh? like can't gravity feed it.. lol

my drain is very fucked.. i'm using about 4 inches of braided line on return... that's it... my 90 and 45 fitting are like 1 inch apart, that's why i only need 4 inches of that ----..

but it's good.. all the way down..

i don't think it will back up anyways.. also my feed is good.. -3an plus using banjo to reduce flow...

just annoying that i keep doing so much ---- and it's never done..

now i'm dreaded the injectors intsall.. gotta dremel the seals eh? argh... and more wiring... i'm in electrical engineering but still i hate wiring, i had enough on my alarm already.

also when the car is running the turbo is spinning pulling oil in aswell.

ok everything is in excpet injectors and the vacuum line to BOV...

stupid oil press guage reads 115 psi when car is off or on... i dunno wtf is wrong with it..

with stock injectors, car idles ok.. but when i press on gas, it kinda bogs... WHY?

hmm.... smokes a bit.. but i assume that's due to all the oily parts
