Re:I need to tap my oil pan

This is how I was going to do it before I bought the Stealthmode oil line kit.

I found this info here

http://www.cse.uconn.edu/~yelevich/turbo/turbo.html

It's a good website with a lot of info on how to do this step by step. He used a 1/2 inch adapter. I would not go smaller than this.

Oil pan fitting included.

Also, make sure you don't mount the fitting too low. And, try to mount the fitting right in front of a rod. I heard you could restrict the flow if the oil is trying to return with a rod spinning in its path.
