what size are the lines? i don't realy understand your question. you're using an oil filter re location kit and it came with extra lines or your going to t off of the line for it?? elabborate some.

the oil relocation kit came with 2 lines 1/2 ID, yes i was thinking of putting a brass T on one of the lines to feed the turbo

you could tee off of that but i would get a needle valve so you dont blow your seals.

yeah, like he said, that should be fine, just install a needle valve in line on the feed so that you can restrict the flow some because 1/2" in pretty, actually really big for a feed.

or you could down-size the line ;)

i dont think you would want to downsize the lines going to the oil filter :P....i would say its best to just source the oil from the back of the block

Are those velox VX-6R rims? If so, I had the same wheels. But now the fucktard who stole my car has them.

my cousin lives in some place thats like 30 minutes from North Bergen and he works at a WAWA. I am moving back to either Fairlawn, North Bergen of Franklin Lakes, but that area is way to expensive for my book. Anyone know any good places around there for cheaper?

ALSO. to all you NJers, is there smog test and all that ---- in Jersey? They were telling me that a b series in a CRX wouldnt pass inspection, which would suck cause that would be my daily.

You can feed it that way.Just use a brass "T" thats 1/2 inch on doth ends and 1/4" or -4an out the middle.That should be enough restriction to keep you from blowing a seal.

I tried to do something like that just to be different but it was hard finding parts.
Tapping the block I found was the best way to do it.
