the way my car is has very little room for clocking the turbo

My oil return is pointed slight towards the xmember instead of the oil pan.

So i had to run a 90 straight off the turbo to aim back at the oil pan. Then its just a straight shot with a steady but mild decline into the the highest point on the oil pan.

I CANNOT clock the turbo any other way.

is the 90 too harsh? should i get a 45?

Im getting some smoke when i rev in nuetral. It goes away once the car is warmed up....

 

I would atleast get a 45 degree fitting, in the end you should dent your crossmember to get the correct drainage.

 

it works. i have it on my setup right now.

we have used 90's on two maximas for FOREVER.


the main things you have to remember with oil drains.

-the bottom of the turbo has to be above the oil level.

-there has to be at least a few inches of line above the oil level also, to give the oil someplace to go,when its all "foamed up"

-you can put the line below the oil level. oil will not back up into a line , as the oil level in the line will never be higher than the level in the pan. the greddy kit for the rsx/ep si places the oil return as a banjo fitting in the oil drain! haha

i have a 90 out of my turbo. you cant have the 90 facing back upwards though, it must be clocked so the bottom of the 90 is the lowest part, aiming slightly down.

most honda oil drain "problems" are really just positive crankcase ventilation seeping out the oil seals in the turbo. vent the crankcase, and your usually all set.

 

my line is pretty much horizontal.. so I dont see no problem with a 90 deg. fitting
