my buddy used the port on the fron tof his B16 head to feed his turbo and it burned up the bearing due to lack of oil????? this was after he converted to LS vtec, it worked fine on his B16a but when he converted it, it hardly has any oil coming from it, and he didnt know it wasnt coming out enough...................STUMPED!

I may be wrong and I'm sure I'll be corrected if I am but that port is the VTEC oil pressure sender and does not have oil pressure at all times, that's why you don't use that port.

no wrong port, im talking about the one right above the exhaust manifold, just like the one on the back of the head for LS vtec, but its on the front

i think that port only sees oil when vtec is engaged. i hooked up an oil pressure gauge there once and was confused on why the gauge would only work when i hit vtec!

Never use that port. you'll lose oil pressure when you do that.

why not take it from the back of the block like everyone else. The others are only when vtec is engaged. But how he hooks it up right the next time. Otherwise he will keep on going through turbos.
