Hi im going to boost my d15z1 for dd but dont want to weld my oil pan and t fit for my turbo feed oil lines. Also bc i already changed the gaskets and parts. I dont want to remove again and just incase i also remove the turbo.
I want to buy a oil filter sandwitch turbo feed lines kit instead.
I found out that the d15z1 block has a oil cooler sandwitch plate on the oil filter area.
Can i install a turbo oil filter feed line kit on the existing oem cooler sandwitch plate, gaskets etc.
Is that possible. And what are good filter turbo line kits.

 

Er. What?

You don't have a choice.

 

Yeah dawg work on what your describing
You mentioned running a feed line to your oil pan? Umm oil returns to the pan brah

 

for the feed you can run a sandwich plate w/ the oem oil cooler. golden eagle is probably the best brand

for the return, you have to run the line to the pan. if you want to avoid welding you can run a -10 bulkhead fitting with stat-o-seals. but you must remove the pan, regardless

 

+1 on stacking them. I am running the stock C5 oil cooler with my sandwich plate on top, works fine.

 

For the sandwitch plate if i go golden eagle brand where do i buy the line kit. How about ebay brand turbo feed line kits are they okay they already come with the sandwitch and line. If i get the eagle sandwitch plate i gota make the line etc?

 

i recommend B&R fittings

eBay feed lines are garbage.

I purchased mine from Go Autoworks. Speedfactory would also be a good choice. I am sure B&R is also great. Likely can not go wrong with any of those three. I would avoid eBay.

 

O okay thanks. U guys are helpful. I got another question about the golden eagle sandwitch plate. Is it only for the turbo feed line? I see in the pic there is one big hole and a small one.
If i install a feed line to my turbo one goes to the ge sandwitch plate. so the other return line from the turbo goes to the second ge sandwatch hole?

 

No.

 

Typically sandwich plates are used for vtec conversions. so the large hole would feed the oil port on a vtec head. you can plug the large hole if not being used

as for the oil lines, the return line is not a pressurized line so you cannot connect it to the sandwich plate. the feed line sends pressurized oil into the turbo but the return is just a gravity fed drain. the return must drain into the oil pan (which is also not pressurized).
