Read carefully:

DO NOT TAP THE CYLINDER HEAD FOR YOUR OIL FEED LINE.

Period.

EDIT: wait, forgot this was for a LS/VTEC setup. I don't know how the oil feed setup works for it N/A, so I know nothing about how it would work with a turbo setup.

Good luck

Get an oil filter plate. I hate Ts hanging all over the place wether it's oil lines, or vac lines it's just ugly and problematic.

Instead of having it T off at the turbo and looking clusterd, is there a way you could T off the block like that? Then you could have just 1 line going to the turbo and the other line going to the cycl. head and the cycl. head line can look nice tucked behind the motor instead of the front...

Also those T's can break pretty easy from vibrations. I would suggest maybe getting anouther line made...maybe 6-12 inches or so and have line comming off the block and then going to the T because that would take all the stress off the T. Last thing you want is for that to break and destroy the turbo and head.

whats holding all those fittings up?
it looks like it bolts directly to the turbo?

if so, i'd suggest running a hose to the turbo, and ziptieing the majority of the fittings to the firewall somewhere.

don't want it snapping off afterall.

On my site I have a block fitting with the correct thread sizees. The fitting is one piece and has two ports for oil sources. You can run turbo off one outlet, and vtec off the other. The ls/vtec line is on there too. And for those that don't like two lines on the back of the block, I have a firewall kit which would be one line coming off that block fitting with a T at the firewall. One for turbo, one for vtec.


Sorry about the shameless plug.

Ok, that sounds better. You shouldn't have a problem. Whether you T at the block or at the firewall, you're still gonna have two feeds from one source, so I'd say you're good.
