This one with a 45deg fitting on the oil pan.

Or this one with a 45deg fitting off the turbo.


Thanks.

 

How about a 45º off the turbo and the pan? It'll allow a little better clearance from the downpipe, also would suggest a heat-resistant sleeve.

 

I ran mine like the second one only with no 45's. I havent had any problems with it. I also wrapped the line in fire sleeve.

I'll get two 45degree fittings and see how it goes. The DP will be wrapped with header wrap, i'll get some heat resistant sleeve for my a/c lines and the oil return i guess. Thanks

 

I like the second one... if at any time you get oil dripping, it'll go under the DP and not onto it... one of those fire hazard things.

 

header wrap on mild is a bad idea. The header wrap condenses moisture so if it isn't painted well it will fall apart quick. However it does work reaaaallly good, I had my ram mani wrapped and I could touch it after driving.

 

did u paint the block? wat paint did u use?

 

where can you get heat resistant sleeves at?

 

the first one looks to be a way better angle for drainage

 

2nd!

Keep that hose far away from the downpipe. The radiant heat will certanly destroy it.

Use heat vrap and weld to nuts on the downpipe. Mount a heat sheild a bit away from the downpipe, mounted in the nuts.

You can also weld a steel draintupe onthe belly pan that goes over the downpipe and use a rubber tube on the end, connecting it to the turbo.

Use heat wrap. What do you prefer, a motor empty of oil or a rusty downpipe?

I used hightemp paint on my mild steel DP, and then heatwrapped it, good all season! I also heatwrapped the mani, and dumptube, helps keep underhood temps down

I would try and run a 45' off the turbo and into the pan, and heatwrap the section of DP that is close the line.

I call bullshit. Ran my car for 10k+ miles with my oil drain line (braided stainless) touching my downpipe.. no issues at all. Downpipe even had a little bit of wear from the line rubbing up against it

 

Thanks for the ideas guys. Im going to paint the DP with hightemp and wrap it up.

No, thats the way it came from golden eagle.

 

Call it whatever you want, the risk is there.

If you want to use bad engineering, go ahead.

 

Its not only the moisture, granted it might be a problem with mild, but it will boil out when the pipe reaches temp. Its the fact that it will get so hot that you'll burn the carbon out of the metal, resulting in a very soft steel pipe, also known as hot corrosion or high temperature corrosion.

 

Here is my setup, very similiar to your situation. There is heat wrap in the downpipe currently, just not in the pictures.

 

that looks good right above


Anytime u have oil NEAR a 800* part, u have to be concerned about fire and failure.Any precaution wouldnt be too much in this case.
