My turbo hangs a little low - and unfortunantly I cannot get the fast-turbo.com oil line drain kit to work with my setup the fittings take up too much slack so i'm going to have to convert to barbed fittings and a hose. (the oil line drain kit minus the flange will be FS if anyone is interested)

Anyway.. I was just wondering what the cleanest way to put a barbed fitting on the oil pan was. I cant find anything on ATP turbo that I can weld onto the oil pan.

Thanks in Advance.

AN fitting with a barbed end going to an AN drain flange on the pan would be my suggestion.

Wanna try this ?



As long as your kit has not been used, I can do a trade with the push fit kit.

thanks for the suggestion Stan - I had a feeling you'd come through.. converting to that style would certainly improve things but the main issue is putting fittings onto fittings - this is causing the drain to become too low right off the of turbo.

i probably could get away with it but i would have to clock the turbo 45deg and my instincts tell me that you have to keep the drain pointing down?

I was going to use one of these actually.. barbed strait off the flange..

back to my original question - I guess i'll just braze this to my oil pan? ^^^

what is the inside diamteter of those brass looking fitting? looks like it might be a little bit to small . shouldnt most return lines be 1/2"?? if it is 1/2" that would be nice for those with a low hanging setup . btw: where can i find those fittings? TIA

Sometimes people drill a hole just big enough to thread the barb fitting in, and then seal it with (insert your favorite sealer here).

If your oil pan is steel, you could also get a 1/2" O.D. pipe and weld it to the pan. You could use a bulkhead fitting, you could use............alot of stuff.

Thanks.. that function 7 peice looks really good. That is the issue.. the more adapters/fittings the less hose you get..

run a silicone hose. get a 1/2 WELD fitting from Mcmaster ( go under pipe fittings and stainless steel or iron/steel and under couplers. find 1/2 NPT pipe thread coupler and purchase one its about 5$? then you can go to the barb hose fitting sectino and pick up a fitting of your choice. if your turbo sits very very low i recommend a 90 degree fitting.

Thanks for all the input guys! It realy helps! mcmaster carr should be bookmarked by everyone

This is what i've done so far.. i made a low profile barb fitting just zipped it off with the band saw and cleaned it up with a grinder.. it should improve things quite a bit. I'm thinking about milling another .125" off the flange if it's still too low.
