Is there an oil drain plug that is tapped for a turbo oil feed line? Or is there any other way for the oil return without tapping the oil pan?

I'm pretty sure theres no way around it.
I know that there are little sandwich plates you put between the filter and the block, but thats to prevent from tapping into the block.

Edit: I could be wrong, so if I am, someone correct me

 

not sure if you worded your question wrong, but you dont supply oil to a turbo by tapping the oil pan, thats the oil return from the turbo

The oil pressure switch right(left) next to the oil filter, you Need a T though.

pm me if you need help/locations.

Is it easy to do? I'm doing some research right now and it seems that the oil part is the hardest to set up, everything else is bolt on.

 

Hard no, annoying Yes.

I'll tell you what would make it a Lot easier though,
Get a stainless braided line to go from that hole on the back,
up to around the firewall, or something, then bolt in the T there.

Of course it's some more plumbing, but it would make it a lot easier.

Just make sure that if you put a T on the back of the block,
Pressure switch on the end of it facing the firewall,
and then oil feed line on the top going up towards the IM.

And when you get that all together, have fitting that are Made to move oil,
it's a REAL pain to fill/drain the oil just because you didn't get it right the first time.

For the return line going to the oil pan, make it as high as you can on the FRONT,
and make sure you have a good angle/incline, easier it is for the oil to go without force,
the better off you are with it.

 

Ok cool. Thanks. Then what about an oil restrictor?

 

Look around, I dunno where but, Everyone says they're good to have,
because the honda engine's high pressure can ruin the turbo bearings.
