Whats the best route to oil your turbo?
Some people suggest getting a sandwitch plate and others just run a feed line from the rear of the block or tap the front of the head. Which is the safest and most reliable place to use for an oil source?

Give me feedback and some pics of your oil line set ups to your turbocharger

 

i would like to see some head setup.

 

if you have a B-series motor you can actually run the oil feed line straight off the oil pump.

rear of block most common, its what i did. my dsm uses oil feed from the head.. anyways.

fast-turbo.com has great oil lines.

if you are runing the altenator i don't see how that would work.

 

If i had the money to do it my way, i would first relocate my oil filter to the front of the engine and then run a sandwich adapter on it, BUT that isn't how i ran mine. I have my Stealthmode oil lines tapped into the oil pressure sender like nearly everyone else i know. It works just fine as long as you're careful when installing it.

you can screw a 90* or greater angled AN fitting and it will work fine. also theres more than one way to mount the fittings on an oil pump

I was a bit weary about a lot of the relocation kits out there for hondas, specifically, because they are so oil dependent. I've had several problems with most of them including destroying some cylinder heads. the oil sending unit on the back works fine.

on dsms, only the mitsu cartrdige turbos can run on the head of the 4g63. Garretts and BWs need to run from the oil sandwich adapter on the back of the block , or you will quickly starve the turbo

 

When it comes to the sandwich adapter or oil press. sensor setups, it's a preference. Neither one mechanically is better than that other.

Stick to those two options and forget taking oil from the head.

 

why would one be weary of an oil filter relocation kit ?? i dont get that ?

I kind of see his point...it ties up more of the oil in the lines to and from the relocated oil filter which in theory could lead to oil starvation for the rest of the enigne.

Is that to say that i'm going to have to switch out my oil pressure sender location for a sandwich adapter?? I have the S256 and dont want to ruin it. Right now i have a standard Stealthmode Oil Line kit...

 

how ????????????????????????????????

after you build pressure on initial start up...its not going anywhere ! i understand you may want to compensate witha a bit extra oil, for the extra hoses and relocated filter, but reguardless pressure is pressure....

you think you will see less pressure in the engine with these hoses/relocation kit ?

i see around 60 psi on startup with cold oil.

 

For what its worth, we did not see a big drop from an oil relocation kit ( on a customers car ) but did see a bigger drop when he had an oil cooler installed. I think he lost about 30psi at one point he said, with and with out the cooler.

He was talking about running those turbos off the factory feed on dsm's.

bob, you contradict yourself in that post... one second you say you barely lost any oil psi with the relocation kit, then you say you lost 30 psi with the cooler, and then your saying you lost 30 without the cooler as well ?

 

I would like to see some actual pics with that z10 adapter if anyone has any?!

whats there to see its an union

you remove the the brass fitting at the very tip of the oil pump an replace it with the z10 fitting.

replace brass plugs with z10 fitting

 

if your a VTEC motor and are chipped; and can disable the VTP sensor, then all you need to do is place your oil feed off of the VTP sensor, and bring it to the turbo

 

then you will be robbing your vtec of oil.

With just the relocation kit, he was seeing the normal operating psi. He also has a oil cooler installed, well had one installed, and when he did he was seeing a drop of about 30psi . Sorry if that did not make sense.

 

whichever bung that thing replaces, you could just drill and tap to the appropriate NPT size

 

I've always used the GE sandwhich adapter

 

jesus use a GE adapter and a braided line to the turbo, simple works perfect, taking oil from the head is a BAD idea, you should be routing more oil to the head if anything...

This is more of what I was referring to. Oil relocation in and of itself isn't that bad, but with the oil cooler AND the Oil relocation, I highly discourage it.
