Re: 45* or 90* oil return fittings??? (SHystrdyGSRtdy)
I usually find that the return lines use either:
(1) -10AN straight + (1) -10AN 45 deg fittings
OR
(2) -10AN 45 deg fittings
I prefer the former whenever possible since straight fittings are a helluva lot cheaper than angled fittings of the same size.

I have nearly an identical setup (excpet no 45* into pan) and I'm getting considerable smoke after boosting, I'm thinking about getting a 90* off the pan so give the oil a steeper drop in the hopes of aleviating some flow issues..

-10AN line? All downhill? Still smoking? Are you sure it's oil smoke...have you checked your downpipe?
Yeah, try a 45* or maybe 90* fitting. Personally I think it's harder for a fluid to pass through a 90* than a 45* or a straight.

hey dax, im using the hf manifold and the t25 and the turbo sits so low It looks like ill need a 90* fitting to put on the turbo for it even began to start to slope in the right direction. Do you think that would be ok? Im using a restrictor so its not like im letting alot off oil get built up

Well the only catch is, since I don't have the 45* you do at the pan, my line comes in pretty flat, I'm thinking maybe that's causing a backup. It's definatley a turbo related issue though cause when I pulled the vacuum line off the compressor port I had a little stream of oil drip out of the compressor
*hoping seals aren't bad already*

You're not using a restrictor on the oil return right?! Of course not [I hope]...
Do whatever you have to. It is of the utmost importance that your oil return line has a good direct line of flow back to the oil pan or you will experience oil backup and eventually smoke and blow your seals. Oil return from a turbo is completely reliant on gravity feed.

Possibly so. You should probably try to get the 45*. I got all my lines from Stan [Flamenco-T] @ Fast-Turbo. He's the man to contact.

Re: (DaX)
You have the neukin a/c manifold? From the looks of where your turbo is sitting, it looks like you have a log manifold. . .
My neukin manifold sits the bottom of the turbo almost level with the return fitting on my oil pan

have you mistaken someone else's post for mine? i don't think someone else said they had the neukin ac manifold other than me.

Re: (DaX)
i guess im going to run out tommoro and get the 90* fitting to put on my return. i guess it should work. Since i have the restrictor on there the is not going to be much oil getting to it So therefor a large amount of oil will not be trying to drain

Re: (SHystrdyGSRtdy)
well to tell you the truth, you really dont know how much oil to restrict! alot of people run w/o restrictors with no problems, but once you start messing with used turbo's and stuff the seals get weak, etc. I have one because my return is a little on the sketchy side and i thought it might help the smoking a little(which didnt)
Plus some guys dont want to ruin there brand new turbo by putting to much pressure on it

Re: (Curtis2kul)
werd, reason i'm asking is because i've seen two types of restrictors, one that's a valve you adjust and one where it looks like a fitting with a pinhole in it... i might just go with the pinhole route.. unless someone may think otherwise?

I know those pics r from your setup, I thought you posted them to show that you had the same manifold (as the orignal poster, aka neukin a/c) and were using those return lines.
I'm just stupid, because I know that you have the sidewinder manifold (I remember your past posts)

I'm feeding with a -3AN Goodridge line with no restrictor. Anything larger and you should probably use a restrictor.

Re: (DaX)
well i put the 90 on the return line. Seems to drain a little better but still smoke when im stoped. I guess im just going to have to live with a little smoke for now.

Re: (Curtis2kul)
i think imma go with the pinhole type restrictor (nonadjustable) but i still don't know which fittings i should use for the return st/st, 90/90, 45/45, st/90, st/45, 90/45 ,etc....

Re: (SHystrdyGSRtdy)
anyone consider this for a restrictor?
mcmaster part number 48805K128 on pg 9
316SS adapter
look at the technical drawing and you will notice its got a little bit of restriction on it.
