cheap oil return flange?
 

I'm trying to figure a way to domy oil return without welding.
(plz dont mention jb weld i know about it already).

I was thinking of just driling some holes and boltin on
a flange/gasket.

but the only flange i've seen is at cheapturbo.com
http://store4.yimg.com/I/cheapturbo_1746_946448

and it costs 23fuckin bucks, before shipping/taxes,

thats too much for a tiny chunk of metal.
I understand why they charge that though, it's cnc'd.

but does anyone know of somewhere to find a cheaper one?
anything cheap is fine, doesnt need to be fukin cnc aluminum, heh sheesh.

youre talking about the return on the pan?....that one is for the turbo side. just go to home depot and get a brass barbed fitting

Re:cheap oil return flange?
 

ooh it is? hmm,
well yes I was talking about the pan.
but cant weld, and dont trust jbweld.. althought I might resort to it.

which is why the fitting isnt very enticing.

Re:cheap oil return flange?
 

you dont need jbweld...just thread the fitting through the pan

Re:cheap oil return flange?
 

wah!? really??

I'd have to get a tool to put proper threads in the hole in the pan though right? or else it'd leak without any welding/permanent sealant

aah c'mon,
dont leave a brotha hangin!

Re:cheap oil return flange?
 

just make the hole the right size, you wont need to tap it. it wont leak since the fitting goes throught the oil pan all the way

Re:cheap oil return flange?
 

there isn't any pressure behind the oil draining into your oil pan from the turbo, so pretty much any fitting you stick in there and weld/jbweld in there will work just fine. dude there's nothing wrong with jbweld.

you don't need to thread the oil pan because the oil pan walls are about 1-2 mm thick.

Re:cheap oil return flange?
 

gotcha,

ghettoturbo thinks I wont need anything tho,
just thread the fitting in.

any other thoughts on that?

Put some type of sealant on that ---- at least.
