I was told where my turbo return line enters the oil pan is too low. I was told the oil wouldnt drain from the turbo and would go through the seals and burn in the turbine. Let me know what you think. Should I relocate the hole so it is higher up on the pan?


OT: Heres a pic of my beater car I just picked up. Pretty nice eh?

 

yes, thats too low. you want it as high as possible. I'm going to try and make mine angled down...

 

Too Low x2

 

How much higher should it go?

I was told to put it as high as possible, almost up against the lip of the oil pan.

and what about the Moroso pans? Their return location is at a similar height as mine. That was our model.

 

heres mine, awesome welding job Joe! (even tho he doesnt read this board)

 

Here's mine:

 

dont take my word for it, please..BUT i have only heard bad fitment issues with them.

btw this is a dumb thing to say....but make sure you dont weld the fitting on right beneath a bolt, that wouldnt be good. I only say this because I almost did

 

Yea it should look like his.

 

this is a good height

 

is that from a drag kit? the reason i'm asking is because i ordered a drag oil feed/return kit, and my return line consists of a hose then a metal "L" shaped tube.

 

The DRAG oil return line blows ditch it and get the earl fittings or somthing similar.
