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


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.

Tad

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.

Tad

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

Tad

aah c'mon,
dont leave a brotha hangin!

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.

Tad

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.
