What's up guys... I'm 95% done with a DRAG 3 install on my friends GS-R powered del Slow. Tomorrow I'm having the oil return welded in... and would like to see where and how you guys placed it. If you used Earls fittings and steel braided etc, don't bother posting... I'm looking for those who used the DRAG 3 components, thanks!

By the way... if you're looking at the car from the front.. I want to have it welded in at the far left (shallow) end of the pan, but some people are saying far right for some reason...

 

when you do the install, have the turbo on the manifold on the proper position to where the oil drain is perpendicular with the ground (pointing straight down). I recommend welding the oil return tube directly underneath this drain, when you position everything up, take a marker and mark on your oil pan where the drain tube will line up parallel to the oil drain of the turbo. you want the drain to flow as freely and as short as possible.

Yeah, I clocked the turbo so the outlets straight down... and to dip into the oil pan directly underneath it, would mean welding the return into the very "shallow" end of the oil pan... which some people frown upon for some reason. I would think itd be the OPTIMUM spot because oil rarely sits up on that "shelf"...

 

weld it up high to the top of the oil pan, a little higher then mid.

 

no welding for me. i'll post pics tomorrow

 

Would you guys recommend using the drain pipe that came with the kit or should i just use a fitting that welds directly to the oil pan and 45 degree one off of that? how is the one that came with it?
