i have a turbo and stuff its just i dont know how to run an oil line to it. i dont wanna drill the block. i just wanna find out if their is some other way i can run oil to the tubo.

 

oil filter adapter... like greddy, golden eagle, etc.

i used a greddy and it works without a problem thus far.

 

Return line to the pan, feed.... what block are you running? If it is an H22, you can go through the sending unit between the filter and the blcok, otherwise you need to get a sandwich plate setup like the greddy unit.

 

i went through the oil pressure senson on my f, but it was a **** let me tell you. id go adapter if you can.

 

A ****? Hmm...

hmmm mine was not so slutty. I have a T off the oil pressure sender as well. Ok the 1st time install was a ****. With the 2nd and 3rd and 4th, I've gotten progressively better.

 

Have you nuked your 3rd engine yet?

 

me? yeah. Only took 2 weeks.

building up my 1st one now (whenever the pistons/rods get here)

 

Nice. Are you doing the build yourself or are you taking somewhere?

 

doing it myself. in the living room of my 3rd floor apartment.

 

hey thanks for the advice!!! but how does the adapter work. hey and can i run stock modified headers on the turbo, and is 2.5 inch piping enough? its just that i dont wanna spend toooooooo much money on this motor, im planning to get a H22 type S. i have a T3 turbo of a WRX.

 

turbo will sit quite low if you modify stock mani. to work. do some searching to find out what better options there are.

(if you are running f series, you really only have ONE header.)

 

They are sandwich adapters that thread on the oil filter fitting on the back of your block... then your normal oil filter threads onto the sandwich plate.

ENGINE | adapter | OIL FILTER

The adapter will have some ports predrilled in it... get a couple of fittings to mate your lines or whatnot and then run the feed to the turbo.

BTW the ports and threading tap'd into it are going to vary in size with each manufacturer but Golden Eagle has a bunch of different sizes available (GE's stuff is a bit more $ than others, to note).

 

is ok if i weld the stock wrx manifold to my stock headers? to stock headers play a roll????? i dont want too much boost, im not looking forward to change my motor soon. cuz i heard that these model of motors die fast from too much boost.

 

how do you plan to weld a wrx mani to an accord mani? that I would like to see.

you need a turbo manifold for your engine. your stock headeR can go in the trash.

 

what i meant was to weld the turbo on to the stock manifold. if thats im possible than where could i get some cheap mani. on where could i get the adapter

 

hey man i found this one thing that might work. if you give me ur e mail i could send you the picture of the oil filter adapter i found, and maybe you can tell if it will work!!!

you could probably weld the turbo to the stock mani, it wouldn't look pretty but it might work. it will be very low, as previously stated, which could be a problem for your oil drain.

I IM'd you my email address if you'd like to wing the pic over. -B

 

i didnt get ur email. e mail me at russianstreetracer@yahoo.com
well where could i get some cheap turbo headers??? do u mean that the turbo is gonna be to close to the grownd???? well how can i do it whith out putting tooo much work in it, and what can i do to not buy new headers??????? and also where should i place the turbo????

 

I sent you an instant message thru this site. You may not be able to receive it because you're still a trial user. just emailed you now...

I don't even know what flange that turbo has, you need a manifold that will match up.

BTW cheap and turbo don't belong in the same sentence...

I mean the oil return line on the turbo will be very low, and may not be able to drain the oil from the turbo back into the oil pan properly, which will cause you to blow your turbo's seals quickly. you can fab up your own turbo manifold if you are a DIY type - you'll just need an exhaust flange.

here are two pics of my turbo's placement:

 

haey man i sent you that pic i was talking about. i have one more thing. its a log mani.! is that a good mani? ill send you a pic of it to you e mail. and also what does this mean (Log Manifold Kit for Honda D-Series Engines )

 

D series is referring to the civic engine code(d17)

f series would be the stock accord engine code(f22/f23,etc)

one thing tho', manifold for d series wouldn't line up the exhaust for your accord/prelude engine.

log style is what B has in the picture, it's cheaper and simplier than "equal-length header style" manifold.
The advantage of log? cheaper, ALOT more clearance(esp. important for you, if you plan to keep the a/c and power steering) but equal length header would give you a much better spool and power but it's pretty expensive.

i wouldn't vouch to weld your stock header/manifold, your turbo would sit too damn low and it might not even have enough clearance.(if you run your turbo too low, you are risking for oil problem/sealing problem. notice most of the turbo that mount that low have an extra oil pump to feed the sucker so it will not blow oily mess out of the exhaust)

99% of the honda turbo guy runs a brass t off the sending unit, but it's also known for causing stripping and cracking on block. One of those sandwish place for the oil filter should work

you do realize wrx is a boxer engine, it's more closer related to a porsche 911 than your accord.

any motor will blow up if your put too much boost, ghetto-ragging your manifold have nothing to do with the boost level, that's the job of the waste gate which regulate the amount of boost.

not to be an **** or anything, if you plan to cheap out and cut corner, don't bother to get a turbo, you'll end up blowing up your stuff and now you have to get another motor.

 

the "hf" ghetto rig manifold or whatever its called for d-seies doesnt work for f22's the stock exhaust mani top half is still pretty long.

 

hey man thanks for the tip and all. but do you think its a good idea to make my stock mani., into a self built log mani????? and im not too worried about the motor! if anythings happens like i frie the motor or something, im gonna be sticking a H22 in it. i just wanna screw around with this motor.
