hey guys, i have an Rsx greddy turbo (T517z) and i want to put it on a B-series. For the Rsx, the turbo sits on top of the exhaust manifold, and for a b-series it usually sits under. What i wanted to know was, does it matter which whole is the inlet and which one is the outlet for the turbo's oil lines?. If i flip the turbo upside down and mount it on a b-series, will i be able to draw my oil inlet from the original outlet and draw the oil outlet from the original inlet? if its not possible and someone is looking for a greddy turbo with no shaft play and the greddy downpipe, im willing to trade for something that will fit a b-series. Should i just make/buy a top mount manifold? thanks for any replys

i really need to know if it matters where the oil goes in and where it exits on the turbo or if it will work any way installed. If anyone knows??????? id really appreciate ur help

 

anyone know??????????

 

why not just clock the turbo?

 

yeah clock the turbo. you have to make sure your oil drain is facing downwards because it drains by gravity..

 

So it doesnt matter which side the oil goes in and comes out of as long as the drain is facing down right? I really appreciate the replys guys, thanks alot

Sorry buddy, I think you are misunderstanding, there is an inlet and an outlet for the oil. Well, there is a designed inlet and outlet for the oil. If the outlet is pointing up or off to the side, then just clock/rotate (orient) the turbo so the outlet is facing down. The inlet and outlet should be obvious by looking @ the turbo. GL.

 

thanks, i finally understand, i just need to rotate it
