I'm in the process of installing a T-25 (2g DSM turbo) on my 97 civic hatchback. I was wondering on the placement for the oil drain flange on the oil pan. Since the T-25 is a gravity drain. Would I have to find a place on the pan closest to the radiator and run as little of hose as I could, or will the force of more oil being fed into the turbo force the old oil out? If so, where would be the best spot to mount the return flange on the oil pan?

as long as the drain is above the oil line in the pan and has a free flowing path down you'll be ok..

 

How far up is the oil line in the oil pan? I have a 97 civic cx hatch with a 1.6 non-vtec motor.

Well?
