another stealthmode oil line question
 

i started to put my drain on today (T25 D16a6) and the brass end is less then a 1" from the crossmember, i was wondering if anyone else had the same problem with this. Also if did actually get it to work the return would almost have to be horizontal to get it to the top of the pan which then it would not drain enough

Re:another stealthmode oil line question
 

Well, depending on what manifold you are using determines where the drain is going to be located. What manifold are you using?

a STD manifold with adapter plate

where in the pan is the drain fitting? i had no problem with clearance when putting mine in

Re:another stealthmode oil line question
 

no, thats whats wrong. when i mount everything on the engine the brass piece that comes off the flange(where you hook your drain line to) is only a inch or so away from hitting the crossmember. if i somehow got the hose on there it wouldnt work anyway because it would have to make a immediate 90degree turn which would make it not drain.

Do you get what im saying?

Re:another stealthmode oil line question
 

Did you clock the turbo? Any pics?

i clocked the turbo a little but it clocked to where the fitting is pointing towards the pan not away. i dont have any pics now but i could get some later. Do you know where i can get a 90deggre fitting?

Re:another stealthmode oil line question
 

o so your saying the fitting of the turbo is almost hitting the crossmember not the oil pan fitting, i dont know waht to tell you...what turbo manifold setup are you using, what side of the engine bay is the compressor on. maybe if you turbo the turbo around on the manifold it may fix it. without pics though its kinda hard to help ya

Re:another stealthmode oil line question
 

Sounds like you need to rotate the center section.

Re:another stealthmode oil line question
 

the compressor is on the right side if your from the front of the car facing the engine, just like almost all setups are done.

ill just get a 90degree fitting or something becuase the wastegate is already mounted up and i dont feel like having to go through that agian. where could i get fitting

Re:another stealthmode oil line question
 

I had the EXACT same problem your having. I tried a 90 bend and it caused alot of smoking. I ended up clocking the turbo quite a bit more, and i had to drill out the bracket for my wastegate actuator so i could rotate it. I still get some smoking but nothing like before

Re:another stealthmode oil line question
 

what about a 45degree fitting and ill cut the crossmember just enough to get clearance


BTW here are some pics of how the turbo is mounted!

Re:another stealthmode oil line question
 

if you put the 45 degree elbow on it will it be able to flow down? cause it if can than that should be ok as long as gravity can do its thing

Re:another stealthmode oil line question
 

Hey, correct me if i am wrong, doesn't the Optional oil pressure ball valve makes the smoke go away? Stealthmode, can you verify this?

Re:another stealthmode oil line question
 

yes and no. if your seals are fucked beyond help then nothing will help them. what the valve does is lower oil pressure going to the turbo, so if the excessive pressure is what's pushing oil out of your seals your smoking should stop.

Re:another stealthmode oil line question
 

same set up as me, rotate the center section for the compressor outlet to clear the xmember, redrill the hole on the wastegate, mount it with 1 bolt, 45 degree drain fitting. good to go ;)

Re:another stealthmode oil line question
 

ok, went to the local store and bought a 45 today. looks like its going to work. BTW: does any one have a pic or something that shows how much the oil level goes up on a civic/crx. it would be good to know where to put my bung for the return!
