im going to pull off my turbo and sell it and piece together a new setup( T3/T04e yummmmmmmm ).......... and i have 1 heat range colder plugs in right now......... will these be bad for NA??? or should i go buy some stock LS NGK's???

and for my oil return line i need to cap it and its just a greddy spout on the oil pan..... what should i use to cap it?? i dont want to weld it because im going to use it again.......... i was thinking a large vacuum cap ( same diameter as the spout) some high temp sealer and a hose clamp, think that will work???

thanks!!!!

 

as for the oil pan,

id suggest taking it off and having a threaded bulkhead fitting welded on. this will help for two reasons:

1) in your downtime between turbos you can just screw a plug on since its a threaded fitting

2) when you are turbo'd you can now run an earls SS Threaded return line. much better, say goobye to leaks


im not positive but im pretty sure you will have laeks if you try to plug it the way you have mentioned.

 

vacuum cap with a worm clamp <screw type> should seal up a drainback that's just a barbed tube style one.

As far as the plugs, the car might not run quite as well on the colder plugs, but it'll work fine if youjust leave them in there.

 

Keep an eye on your plugs look for carbon build up.

I ran the cap on my oil pan fitting for a month and a hald while I waited for parts. Mine never leaked once. You'll be fine. Make sure you tighten the clamp tight enough but not to tight since you could crush the fitting (don't ask me how I know this )
