okay well i got a stealthmode feed and drainline kit and i dont know how to hook up the drainline. its not a weld on type so i have to screw it in i persume ,but i dont know ? can someone guide me how to do this..

 

jb weld it

 

are you sure i can just jb weld it ?

 

I've installed about 6 Stealthmode kits, all using JBweld. None of them have leaked, and they're still running to this date. for JBweld.

 

how am i suppose to jbweld it on? can i just bring it to a shop and have them weld it on ?

 

You can use a bolt and nut, use the nut on the inside of the pan and tighten it up if you decided not to weld

 

i used a big nut on the inside on the threads, but im going back after it with a little bit of JB Weld because i drip a few drops after my car sits over night

This crazy fool installed my oil drain fitting with JBWeld.

Too bad it's leaking a little on the barb fitting from not being clamped down hard enough, COLIN!

 

Mount the turbo and manifold to get an idea of where it's going to sit. Either place or install the oil pan, and make a mark that will give you the best downward slope. It should be somewhere between the top and 1 1/2 inches down.
After you have it marked, make a pilot hole, and drill it out using a drill bit slightly smaller than the 3/8 threaded end of the barb fitting. Use your drill to slowly open the hole up until you can get the threads to "catch".

At this point your hole is where you need it to be to thread in your fitting. This is when I clean the pan completely with gasoline. Gas picks up all the metal shavings well. I slosh it around a couple times, a dump. I do this about 3 times and then wipe it down.

Start threading it in. Before the base of the barb fitting gets to the oil pan, you're going to want to use a sealer on the base of the pan around the hole. I use JB weld as well as alot of customers I hear from. RTV would probably work as well as others. Put the sealer around the hole. Tighten down the barb fitting until the base of it touches the pan. I don't torque it on there, but I tighten it. After it's tight, put another layer of sealer around the base of it.

Some pictures I took of one I did that I will be using for an installation write-up:

That looks sooo ghetto

 

nobody is going to see it unless you run them over....at that point they aren't going to care either

 

Yeah, but I wouldnt trust JBweld to hold that with all the vibration, sure if it was brazed, too risky imho to run a crappy installation like that. Heres my oildrain and thats not gonna fall off.

 

you people are too scary! jb weld is great for everything excluding exhaust, I used jd weld on my ist 2 turbo setup with no problem, I used jb weld to weld a bov flange that sees 20 psi and oil drain for 2 years and still good, even though I am not using those parts anymore I still believe in jb weld, when I was in the desert that **** never leave my tool box, if it works for the army it works for me.
thumbs up for jb weld

 

Jeez, I've never used JBweld, because I consider it bullshit.

You've never installed one with JB weld, so your honest opinion doesn't mean much against over 1000 of just my kits sold worldwide that this has worked on. Not to mention the other oil line guys offering this same setup.
If it's not your thing, or anyone elses', you can weld a piece of 1/2 O.D. pipe onto the pan that will run you all of 3 cents. Other than that, someone asked for instructions, and they got it. We do understand that you are far superior, though.

 

lol

 

used JB weld to fix my cracked oil pan and so far its been about a year and zero problems
