The center section of my turbo sits almost even with my return on my moroso pan, and i need a return fitting that has a 45 right from the fitting.

Its a Z6 w/ Tuner Toys Mini ram and moroso aluminum pan.

The inside of the hole for the return is not threaded so i need the flange that still has the 2 bolt holes but has the 45 built right in.

I know ive seen it, but can rember how makes one.

Also, if someone knows where there is a 120* fitting of the same thing, it could also be used to put more of a pitch on the return.

Thanks guys.

yeah, they probably dont exsist.lol

I searched here and google, and couldnt find what i was looking for.

I know people w/ mini rams have this problem all the time

one more bump before i let this die.

The oil return on my SLS Shorty is less than ideal...its pretty much flat the whole time, but at least it doesnt slope upwards. I'm going to fix it over the winter so it points downward and doesn't have to travel as far...

Your is less the ideal because you wanted to use the exisiting fitting that you already had in the pan from the last setup which was way off the the drivers side of the pan.

we have flanges and seperate 1/2npt -> 45 degree 5/8 barb fittings for the t3 and 3/8npt -> 5/8barb for the gt series turbos, we use these on our turbo kits. let me know if you need them.

We had a local company that used to stock a 45 deg bar fitting for us that worked perfect for these applications but they said they are no longer avail from their supplier. Send me some pics of what you got if ya could.

Oh i know...i probably should have mentioned that. We used the existing bung in the oil pan rather than putting a new one where it was needed. Nothing with the manifold really...

Just snapped a picture, GT series on the left, standard t3 on the right, both have 5/8 barbed outlet. gt series has 3/8 npt on one side vs the 1/2 npt on the t3.

That one pictured on the left is what i used to get here locally but they stopped carrying them. For anyone wondering that there is what you need to make the shorty oil return line a breeze.

0morgan@synapse motorsport

yeah we had to source them from 2 different suppliers as our usual fitting supplier didnt make these.

93supercoupe

excellent, thank u very much.

How tall do they sit compared to a standard fitting+flange?

One problem, I already have my steel bradied line fitted to length, do they make those with AN fittings?

Schister66

Mike, i might have to get one of those fittings from you. How much for the journal bearing CHRA fitting (elbow only)??

0morgan@synapse motorsport

what fittings do you have on the ends of you an lines? just straights?

the 45% and straight barbed fittings are roughly the same height from flange surface to the top of top of the fittings

we have 45 degree 3/8 & 1/2npt -&gt; an 10 as well but typically we just put 45 degree fittings on the ends of the hoses instead.

My sohc zc setup with an SLS mini ram and a t3 super 60. Not the most functional considering I have to unbolt the adapter plate off the turbo just to get the line on and off but guess thats the price I pay for using that style of a 45. Hope this helps some.

Yours could have easily been made easier by routing the drain off the side rather then straight down. Offset the drain into the pan from the turbo w/ 2 45's and your golden.

JaredKaragen

Why don't people get smart and just cut a peice of pipe at a 45 and weld that onto the pan so that the line doesn't need the extra fitting?

Because some of us don't want to weld the fitting...

I wanted to keep the shortest line possible while still using that 45 "russel racing" style fitting. Long story short I got tired of tearing lines off the barbed end on the pan. This might not be the most logical way to run it when it comes to taking it apart, but hey, if I try to do it right the first time, then I should have to take it back apart (knock on wood)

I ended up welding a piece of bent pipe to a flange and have a straight barb fitting coming from the oil pan. I'll snap some pics tomorrow.
