I hav t3 turbo with internal wastegate off an eclipse, vortec blue fmu, d-series manifold, dsm downpipe and blow off and manaul boost controler and eclipse intercooler. What else do i need to make the kit run just basic 6 psi or so. I am wanting to put it on tom night or tonight but i need help with what oil lines i need etc. I was plannin on using flex pipe to get the job done for now until i take it to muffler shop. Where and what oil lines do i need....what and how that stuff hooks up. If someone can help me out or send me links to pictures or what not id appreciate it greatly thanks..

Re: homemade turbo kit on 93 civic dx INSTALL HELP (gdrum)
oil feed line- 3-4ft
1/8" male BSPT => 1/8" female NPT adaptor autozone
how i would do it...
(a)1/8 npt to -4 (or -3 if u want) male/male
ss line to firewall
npt "t" fitting
plug the oil sender in one hole, and use 2 more of the npt fittings (a) on the other two holes... ont for the ss line... and then use another ss line to go to the turbo
For the T fitting
For the block I'd recommend using the BSPT to NPT adapter. I'm not 100% sure that is correct, but after buying 10,000 different types of fittings it sure seemed to fit better. The strange thing is that NAPA looked up the part for an oil pressure sending unit for the 91 civic and it said it was 1/8" NPT???
Anyway, I recommend the adapter. You can get them at AutoZone stores and they're made by sunpro. They go right in. Look in the autozone "performance" parts. (No, not the clear taillights and coat hanger tie bars, the V8 stuff that is probably also junk).
Otherwise, just like mentioned

If you don't know what you're doing, why would you even attempt to build yourself a homemade turbo? shoulda at least enlist the help of someone who is knowledgeable about it. if you got all the parts and don't know what you are doing with them then you are not fit to attempt to make your own turbo kit.

you gotta have some peprica on that home made turbo to give it the spicy flavor it needs... that bad boy needs some zing.
