In the morning i am heading off to the junk yard to pickup some project parts. 1 is a new oil pan. Now once i have the oil pan, what size fitting should i place in the pan. For the turbo's oil return. Also how high from the bottom. Also what's a good way to seal it once it's in place.
.

 

hey there, i was thinking the same question.. i want to do a fitting that i can close it off when i need to... i saw one of the turbo projects in this website that shows this blue fitting that connects to "an" hose i think and you can close it off with a "an" bolt or something... good incase turbo ***** on you right? :P

 

not sure on the fitting. I know it has to fit the oil drain tube you plan on using.. but high up in the pan. Check pics of the turbo projects page and see what every1 else does.

 

well that was my idea. is to have a fitting hich could be male, and for time being cap it off while i work on my setup.

 

What turbo are you using.

I'm using a 14b, and my oil return line is 10an. I made a flange for the turbo out of 1/2" steel, tapped a 1/4 NPT hole, and threaded in a 1/4" NPT to 10AN fitting. THen I used a 90 degree 10an fitting on the hose to connect the turbo to the pan. The hose itself is only like 3 inches long. Then I used a straight 10an fitting to connect the hose to a 10an union (that's the name, it's 10an male threads on both sides)with one side in the oil pan, being held in place with a 10an threaded nut. You can get all this stuff at www.summitracing.com . I think I paid like $50 or $60, so it's not cheap. I'm sure you could get away with some rubber hose, I'm just ---- retentive like that.
