Anyone here knows the length oil return line I need for my drag turbo kit? going on a 94+ LS

? is it 12 inch in length or around there?

I'm working on a gen 4 kit right now for a 96 Built LS and this is the kind of bullshit clearance you have to work with:







I want to run stainless steel lines as I do with all the other kits I've done but due to the downpipe there is zero clearance. You can always place this line a little to the right and angle it, but then you get into where the baffle is.

I'm most likely going to run a SS kit on this after I figure out how I will route it.

clean setup...even that Drag kit looks flawless...oil line looks very efficient my friend previous setup we used a a long i mean long line to route it to the usual spot for oil return line

Did you run into any problems running it the long way?

I have an idea of how I can run this with the earl's fittings and SS lines but I won't know until I go grab the parts tomorrow.

never had a problem at all...just up until the cop decided to pop my friends hood and gave him a state red put the car entirely back to stock...

i believe shorter is better more direct better flow

Shorter is better but running stainless steel braided lines is going to last much longer than that bs garden hose return.

here is mine on a drag3 ls kit. it is 10" long

any updates?...im running into the same freakin problem...routed mine around the dp and tapped it in all the way on the driver side of the pan. smokes sometimes depending on angle of the car, so i need to change it. running the kit from stan.

i run stan's oil return with my revhard mani, looped around the dp with no problems. i believe the line is 12". 45* of the turbo, and 45* into the pan.

DriveSlowHomie

the angle of mine isnt all that good. it goes almost horizontal. running a three inch dp. the dp, ac lines, and ic pipes all get in the way. sucks. any pictures?

dpetro1

hmm...im only running a 2.5" dp, i could maybe a grab a pic or 2 sometime this weekend. im switching to 3" exhaust soon so we will see how that works out.

as far as the angle goes, thats why im using the 45* into the pan, it pretty much garuntees a good angle.

DriveSlowHomie

im using the two 45* fittings too.
