Default Oil Feed Line

Ok, Im finally getting ready to finish my project today. But I came across a snag. Where do I get the oil from? I know where to dump it back in the oil pan. But where do I get it from? I have a ZC motor. I was thinking the oil sending unit on the back of the block, but its a bitch to get to. Does anyone know where else? Im assuming that my motor is no different from any other D series also.

Thanks

damn, is there no where else? How do I go about getting to it? should I take off the upper intake (I don't want too)? lol or can I get to it if I take off my oil filter? also, I was going to "t" it and put the OSU on the "t" and then run the rest of the line to the turbo. Is this the right way to do it? Thanks man.

you can tap the front of your block but its gay and stop being a bitch and just tap the pressure unit. It takes 5 minutes

I have another question. Does the oil sending unit have one wire or two. Im of course guessing one, but a confirmation would be great. Thanks

If your useing the TunerToys fitting its gonna be a real tight fit. Not TunerToys fault. The oil cooler is bigger on the dohc zc gets in the way. I went with a Golden Eagle sandwich plate that I picked up from TunerToys. Customer Service was great. He did everything in his power to get me my order by when I needed it.
