Are you talking about the oil return line? What drain tube on the downpipe?

 

im talking about the drain line from the turbo to the oil pan, i dont want the oil liner to interfear with the down pipe(that i dont have yet). so i want to know where in my oil pan to weld the oil drain tube.

You want it to look like this. (mine)

It is on a b16, and it is the drag kit, but all lines should be similar. Try to keep the hole in the oil pan high, and allways have the line downward sloping!

Hey your return looks really nice!


Rob

 

as high as possible and make sure you don;t have it welded in the way of the oil pan bolts and studs...otherwise you won;t be able to mount the bolts and buts..

 

Nice pics and fittings.

Check these threads for a little light reading too and I hope they help:

thats what i did

my oil pan is held on by one less bolt now

its cool, no leaks so far.

 

I would wait. With mine(custom 3" DP) it was a close fit and if you put the oil line in the wrong place, it will not be fun doing it over.

 

Thanks!

Oil lines are a PITA though....

 

hxman, how big is that DP? Is that the standard Fmax?
