Just wanna get some one else to look at this before I cut into my pan. Pretty sure this is the only way I can run the line due to the ram manifold. Just worried that oil might pool into the fittings. All my other fittings are just to long. Also has anyone had any issues running the oil feed line over the tranny around the side of the engine rather than over the valve cover? Seems cleaner.. And the previous owner hacked off the timing belt cover so I'd hate for that SS line to get grabbed by the belt.

That drain outlet on a horizontal plane is not a good idea. You need to clock that center section to get your drain flange closer to the 6 o'clock position to promote good drainage.

I was just going to say, clock that center section so the drain is straight down.

The feed line keeps me from turning the turbo back that way, that's how i had it running before and the fittings are way to big to allow the line to be kink free.

how is that so any pics
you cannot run a oil drain horizontal anyways it should be vertical

Just because of the mounting screws for the oil feed line, can only clock it so much before the line keeps the turbo from spinning.

This is as far as I can get the feed line back, before it gets the mount blocks movement.





now moving it to the other side of the turbo.

spoofmastafly - Change your oil inlet to the 90* type or change the -4 fitting adapter to a banjo fitting. This will allow you to get closer to vertical. I'll post a pic of the oil inlet for my turbo after I get home.

Also there is no need for two 45* bends on the outlet. Flip that line setup around. Connect the straight -10 fitting in the pic to the 45* on the CHRA and then use the 45* fitting to connect the line to the oil pan.

I found a temp pic on yahoo auction.

HKS 90* inlet


From HKS catalog: Banjo fitting setup - figure #3

Alright i'll give that a shot. Thanks!

Can't find that HKS kit anywhere. Not listen on their site. Do you know if that mount has a restrictor in it? Probably just get a 90degree elbow from the hardware store. Still don't think its going to give me enough clearance to run that return line vertical. I'm going to have to place it off to the far right on the oil pan, giving a chance to kink the line.

you dont even need that inlet set up..

the feed hole on the turbo is threaded, i cant remember the size of the hole the pitch is 1/8th NPT, but use a male to male fitting for the feed line to hook up to.
then you can clock it properly.

like this v v and use a 45* fitting

Esoteric - did you even look at his pics? He needs a low profile inlet (either 90* or banjo) so he make the inlet/outlet vertical.

spoofmastafly - it does not have to be HKS. You can order the Banjo setup from many different places. Your best bet is to go to one of the local shops and ask them if they have or can get either setup. What manifold and turbo are you using?

also you can save a lot of room if you use a -10 male drain flange


then you can connect your 45* hose end directly to the flange.

He could also use his female drain flange that he already has and use a fitting like this.

Earl's part that would work.

Could you not just grind some of the flange off so you could fit the feed line with the turbo clocked horizontally?

You do not want the drain flange clocked horizontally. It needs to be a free flowing drain. It drains by gravity, not pressure.

Dee : using a ram manifold and. T3/T4 .57ar T04E. I'm in Hawaii don't really have any shops around here that sell this stuff. Gotta order it, blows really wanted to get this settled this week. This is just a beater till I get out of the Marines.

So the one performance shop we have didn't have any of the fittings or mounts I need. Would have to order them all. I'd rather just order them online. Now to track those down.. ****.

Just use some brass barbed fittings and rubber hose. No need for the fancy -an stuff if its gonna be a problem.

spoofmastafly - Semper Gumby, I'm on Oki. The inlet adapter you have is about twice as thick as it needs to be in the bolt area. If I have time this weekend I'll see if I can find something for you here on Oki. Whatever you get just make sure it has a restricted inlet or you'll be blowing seals on a regular basis.

Yea i've already spent the money on a SS line and Nylon line, bunch of fittings.. just gonna go ahead and shell out the money for mounts for those fittings. still don't have an answer for the feed line. No way can i fit a 90 degree elbow on the mount I have. The turbo gets in the way so I won't be able to run the return vertical..

Thanks Dee; Semper! Yea the inlet flange is pretty thick. For sure i'll be getting something restricted! Thanks for your help.

That should work for the drain. Now to just address the inlet.

Now trusting that is the question.. ha

Pretty sure this would work for the 90 degree fitting for the inlet.
