am I the one having oil return problems with the blox turbo manifold? I am having a hard time getting a hard time getting my oil line to fit properly. the turbo and the oil pan return is at the same level using a moroso oil pan. even if I tap another hole I will still have problem. also having hard time make a downpipe for this manifold. it really sucks!

 

i dont see how you have a hard time gettin the oil return to work. when it comes to that it sonly really hard if your turbo sits SUPER low.


you just need a bigger line and some ingenuity. if you need a downpipe you should';ve hit me up im the only one that makes it for blox manifolds.

 

I used two 90 degree swivel seal ends, an about 4" of -10 line for a drain line with my Blox manifold. There's about a 2.5-3" height difference between the outlet on the turbo and the fitting on the oil pan.



The stainless line is bent down a bit to meet up with the fitting on the pan, and isn't kinked as it may appear to be. Runs a bit close to my DP, but that's what the orange firesleeve is for, and my DP is also wrapped. Oh, and my DP is a Spoolin piece as well.

 

I use a moroso pan so I will have to tap a new hole in the pan. because the pretap hole is all the way to the drivers side of the pan

 

crucian and I made a downpipe for it today, it came pretty nice, it also clear the oil return still low but it has a angle to drain. shave the **** out my block to clear a tiney *** t3/t4 , and shave the head to clear the wastegate, now I need to get a half size radiator to run a drag dumptube. I bought a elbow from importparts but it did not correct anything. all this trouble to get a manifold to work, its not worth it.

well the oil drain is on you and how well you can build it and make it fit.

and you shoudl know that dumptubes arent universal
everyone on HT thinks downpieps are universal and dumptubes and complain when they get somethign that doesnt fit.

 

I am not bashing the dumptube. I am bashing the manifold. its soppose to be ac compatible but cant clear a radiator. I an gonna use that flex type piping for the dump so I should get one to fit... next time I am designing my own manifold, side winder style..
