So i have gotten all my turbo setup junk figured out more or less....and im almost outa energy haha, anyways last bullit on my list is oil.....i need to know how to get oil to the turbo, and back to the pan....whats the easiest way, and where can i but the parts to do it?

 

basically i need a breakdown of the feed and return lines...thanks!

 

One way I've seen is:

- Oil filter adapter from Golden Eagle

- You need an oil line going to the turbo

- Get you oil pan tapped for oil return

- Get proper fittings and lines from somewhere like...? http://www.tunerschoice.com

 

you should venture on over to the forced induction section too

 

thanks....any more info?

 

http://www.cheapturbolines.com was where i got mine, but the return leaked slightly.

where i got mine too !

 

so typically on a civic where does the oil feed line come from, and where does the oil return line lead to?

 

You get the feed from the location of the stock oil pressure sensor, and you weld a bung to your oil pan for the return.

If you have an aftermarket oil pressure gauge it's a good idea to get a firewall T so you don't put too much pressure on the threads on the back of your block.

I ran a line from the back of my block to a T on the firewall, where I hung my stock oil pressure sensor, autometer oil pressure sensor, and I ran my oil line to my turbo from there.

I'm actually selling my firewall T. Check the link in my signature if you are interested.

 

where the hell is the stock oil pressure sensor?

On the back of the block near the oil filter.

 

Your turbo should have a tapped hole for an oil feed line, you will need a T connector so you can tap into the oil pressure sensor that sits above the oil filter, get a braided line that connects to that T, and the other to your turbo's oil inlet

On the bottom of your turbo there should be a hole for a return line, you will need to install a nipple on there of some sort, pics of your turbo would help me decide, from there run a hose down to the pan, on the pan just install a nipple, make sure you make a nice gasket so it doesn't leak......on either end of the return line.

 

i just cant seem to find the stock pressure sensor

 

Okay okay.

Here's where it is. I don't know what engine you have but it's in similar locations on B and D series engines.

This is a D series:
