Default Drain line woes.

Well it seems that my line has kinked up pretty bad. So I need some kind of hose thats prebent to a somewhat sharp 90 degree bend 1/2in hose. Anyone know where I can find something of this nature?

Oil doesn't drain well through a 90 degree, you're working against gravity. Do you have a pic of your setup?

What about putting a 45 degree on the turbo and on the pan and running them straight to each other. 45+45=90.

I dunno.. trying to avoid redoing the fitting as much as possible. Looking for maybe an alternative. Plus i dont know how id do a 45 degree off a 14b drain line.

wtf is wrong with 90... it depends how you use it.... if you use 90 from the turbo, it's ok... no prob... but if you use side ways on the pan.. maybe

but still i think no prob.. i'm using 90.... i would take pics of my install but i'm ------- pissed off at it and lazy.... maybe i should...

it's fucked.. today i ran the car.. seems OK.......

smoke was coming out, but this is the first time i started the car.. and at ilde, i don't think my oil is backikng up.. it' sjust oil on all the parts vaporizing away..

anyhow.. i can take a pic but too lazy now.. here how it goes


90 bent tube from turbo out... then 1 inch braided line -10 an, then goes into 45 deg bent tube.. then into the pan

haha ti's fucked.. i don't even know if it's going down hill after the 90.. i assume it's a BIT...


hey blind.. don't you notice, the oil pan area where we weld our fittings, when car is LEVEL, the fitting faces DOWNARDS!! is it for you?

like the pan's side vertical isn't like this
