no oil pan hole needed?
I was just wondering if anyone knew if I could use something such as an oil filter relocator or a oil cooler adapter plate that goes over the filter to return the oil to the pan? If not what is the best way to weld a fitting on the pan? what type of material is the pan? thanks guys

correct, the oil return is gravity fed, and needs to have a nice smooth bend going back into the top of the oil pan. otherwise if oil gets backed up in the centersection, it will leak by the seals and start smoking badly. There really is no other way around this, removing the pan, and welding in a fitting is not to difficult.

a mig and hose clamp are popular choices... though i know using jb weld is just as popular lol.
for the record i know of a few cars that use hoses as large as 5/8" thats pretty big... then again the oil has the consistancy of a milk shake when it comes out of the turbo... we all know how well a milk shake flows though the iddy biddy straws we get... especaly if it was gravity fed.
