Ok... So i have a RSX-S that im going to turbo... An im wonderin where you would run the feed line to on the block (best place)... An the (best place) for the oil return on the oil pan.... An how hard is it to put a turbo kit on a RSX.....

So are you planning on building a custom kit or buying a kit like GReddy, Full-race, HKS, etc.?

Get a Greddy Sandwich plate to hook your feedline up. You can tee into the block where the stock sensor is but its a bit of a PITA. Atleast with the sandwich adapter its easy to add a oil pressure gauge.

on the b series engines i would T off the oil pressure sensor on the back of the block. i'm sure you can do the same here. and i would also drill into the oil pan for a return. i've never installed a turbo on a k series but i'm sure it's the same way

i wanna drill a return fitting in the oil pan but with the k series a cross beam runs under neath the motor if i remeber right and you have to drop that hole thing to be able to pull the oil pan off but with that sandwich plate you already have your return line but it will be horrible to change my oil sense the power stearing line will be in the way cuz usually when i change my oil i have to shove my arm in between the firewall and the strut bar i just wish i could get a oil filter relocator kit or something but oh well

Yes you do have to drop the sub frame to pull the oil pan off but in the end, its the most reliable way. I would get the adpater for the feed line, its super easy to install and access once you get the oil filter off.
