oil return question
 

does it have to be pointing straight down or is this ok

i think it should be considering theres pressure behind it... but what do i no

Re:oil return question
 

No, that will have to be rotated. I dont think you want you oil return line shooting straight out like that, rotate the housing so that it face's down.

Re:oil return question
 

no pressure, gravity fed.

Re:oil return question
 

just rotate the center section. i had to the same to me T3 so it could face straight down..

---- im trying but one ------- bolt wont come off any one got and suggestions

Re:oil return question
 

its the one right underneath the water fitting all i can get is a open end wrench on it but it just strippes it... :'(

Re:oil return question
 

a pic might help...maybe take the water fitting off first?

Re:oil return question
 

I'd start by soaking it in PB Blaster for about 20 mins and then see if you can lock a pair of vice grips around it and get it moving. If that doesn't work I'd heat it up with a torch and try again.

Post a picture of the stuck bolt and I'll be able to give you better info. If you have the semi circle retaining rings holding it in place, I'd just cut it with a dremmel to get it away from the bolt. Then you can take the housing apart and get to the bolt. I broke a bolt off in my housing and ended up having to get a new one. That little retainer is about $5; a new housing is $70-200. Do the math ;)

heat it up

Be care ful.I had one break on me on one of those chrysler T3s.Those things are a pain in the ass >:(.

Re:oil return question
 

makes no diffrents i got it off but the ------- center section is rusted together....it wont move i hit the living ---- out of it and nothing...i heated it up and nothing i soaked it in wd40 and nothing ---- it i give up im so pissed >:( im going to run it like that for now and if it blows it blows all well ---- it....------- mopar turbos.....goddamn m10. the really fucked up part is i had my down pipe made for this turbo so that was a ------- waste of money ill post pics as soon as i get home... by the way i had the down pipe flange welded to the o2 housing of the turbo...im sooo pissed >:( >:(

Re:oil return question
 

so let me see if theres pressure from one end wouldnt there be a little pressure on the other side ??? if there isnt.. couldnt u get a little inline pump to pump out the oil???

Re:oil return question
 

No theres no pressure at the return line. It's designed to be gravity fed. Thats exactly why the straighter you can get that line withought any sharp bends, the better it will flow. I wouldn't hook up an inline pump to it because a:the pump could easily be burned out, and b: thats just more places you could end up having a possible oil leak.
I had to hit mine to get the housings to budge too. and i ended up breaking bolts, so you got lucky :-\ just make sure it's soaked really well and if you've got to put it in a vise or something and try working the housings back and forth with a pipe or something.

Re:oil return question
 

I still dont' get it... if there's pressure at the oil pressure sensor, and you T into it to run the oil feed line, it goes into the turbo, the turbo doesn't just eat it. I'm sure there is some pressure behind the oil coming from the turbo. Maybe not much though.

Re:oil return question
 

^^^^^ thats what im thinking... im going to beat on it some more tommorow ;D

Re:oil return question
 

you guys are missing the point, there is pressure in the feed line because the feed line is very small. when you turn on a water hose to wash your car, there is pressure in the hose but as soon as the water escapes, guess what no more pressure. Same thing when the oil goes into the bearing section the oil is no longer pressurized and must gravity flow out the exit and gravity flow into the oil pan. If there is any impedance to this flow the oil will build up and rise past the turbo seals and your car will smoke like there's no tomorrow. The reason why the return has to be so big is because there is no pressure pushing the oil through it, so it needs to be big to have the same FLOW RATE as the pressurized feed line. think about it.

Re:oil return question
 

lol after pounding on it a little more i got it free.... ------- thing didnt no who it was ------- with ;D

Re:oil return question
 

hey I knew you'd beat it off... Uuhh yeah :P

Re:oil return question
 

Good to hear. It took me 3 trys on 3 different days to get mine off. Buying a good vise and building a strong workbench seemed to help a bit ;)
