Reason: I blew 3 turbos, thinking it was my drain setup. I have all new (huge) drain lines, but I want to make sure my fitting is in the right place on the oil pan.

Can I get some pics from you folks on where the best place to place the fitting is on a B16??

Thanks nigs.

 

I don't really have a pic of it, and not to mention my puppy chewed my cord to try and transfer one to me pc, but your drain should go as high as you can put it on a b-series pan. B-series motors have pretty shallow pans, so if it's too low you'll sit below your oil level.

 

if you're looking at the front of the engine block, I'm assuming you should place it as far to the right as possible, over the deepest part?

 

on all my cars, i mark right below the center section of where my turbo will sit, or closest to that in the deep part, and make it as high as i can , and make sure it aint right below a pan bolt

 

Yeah, I usually put it right over where it transitions to deep...mostly because that's usually where the drain sits off the turbo. And like mentioned...pay attention to where the pan bolts are as well.
