As for the oil feed, you want to run it off the back of the block, on a t fitting.

 

ok well where off the back of the block do i have to put the t fitting? a pic would help out alot too. this is my firts turbo setup so im just trying to make sure i get it done corectly. thanks

 

get a stealth oil line kit. don't put a T on the block cause its a bad idea. but ur oil is coming from where ur stock oil press. sensor is

 

From the stock oil pressure sensor to the left of the oil filter on the back. You could also buy a Vtec conversion that would normally be used to supply the head but instead use it to supply the turbo. Also make sure when you tap the pan for the return mount it higher than the oil level, you dont want it to low otherwise it could back up the oil and ruin your turbo.

 

you could run the golden eagle oil sandwich adapter.....if you wanted too...

 

^^ Yes that is the the piece i was refferring too, but didnt state it.

You do realize the stealth mode kit comes with the T right.



I'm not knocking the stealthmode kit, thats all we use here, even stock them on our website.

Can you explain why its a bad idea?

 

cause i see them break all the time and u end up squirting oil all the time. yea i know the stealt kit comes with a T. but u run a fitting off the block with a line on it to the T then from the T to the turbo. my t is at the fire wall

The only time I have seen or heard a T breaking is when people put an after market sending unit hanging off the block. Like I said, we have used countless kits from stealthmode and never had an issue with them breaking. I understand what you mean, but if you look at the T he supply's, its pretty beefy from the threads to the actually T.

 

Teh only reason why yoru oil pressure sensor hole will break is because the wrong thread that was put in.

When you try to screw an NPT fitting in a BSPT threads, it will cross thread and eventually create a leak and break.

This is why we used BSPT adapter on all of our kit. I have never heard any problem with our kit breaking the oil pressure sensor hole and we have sold 5000 kits plus..



Here's the direction on installing our kit..

the reason the block T fitting is somewhat frowned upon is due to a few people breaking fittings off in the block...if you're careful, you wont have a problem. There are enough people using these oil lines w/o any issues....i have them on my car
