i know Z10 sells those fittings for B and D series engine that go into the back of the oil pump, i've got one for the external oil line on my LS/VTEC, but, can you use a line from there asthe oil feed line on a turbo on an H series, if so, i am going to make a fitting, if not i will just T off the sending unit i guess, and hope it doesn't break

 

I don't think the oil pump fitting is filtered, so you would need to run an inline filter somehow.

 

hrmm... i never realized that that was the reasoning behind tapping from the sending unit


anyone else got any insight?

 

But it still gets filtered eventually. I don't think I'd worry too much about that.

 

but will it feed enough oil to the turbo.... that is my main concern

 

It doesn't matter that it's not filtered really. It's not like tons of pollutants appear in the oil before it recirculates.

 

its not filtered after the sending unit either

 

 

Uhm, were you to remove the plug then no oil would go to the engine (it would all go on the ground). So yes, there is enough oil to feed the turbo.

 

and you are talking about the plug on the pump itself, not the drain plug right


(yeah,yeah. i know, it sound's stupid, but i just want to be sure. ya know)

 

Yeah the one the z10 part replaces

 

ok sweet, i guess i'll be getting to work on machining one that fits my H22 tomorrow

 

if you make that part, make some more, I will buy 5 if that makes it worth the effort

 

isn't that fittin really really close to the alternator. so close that the hose or line is going to kink or take a sharp turn so it wont touch the alternator. at lease from the looks of it on my d16a. any expericences?

 

yeah, i've got the Z10 fitting on my integra, and i had to modify the alternator bracket and use a 90 degree fitting
