I'm just looking for a better way to hook up the oil return line.

 

I'd also like to see some good examples of exactly where to tap the the oil pan on a B series.

 

Doesn't matter if its a b or d, both have to be tapped. Lets see some!

 

ttt... I wanna see some as well

 

Me too.

 

Yeah I wanna see some too!

 

All these turbo people and nobody is returning oil, I highly doubt that, I've seen a couple posts before showing proper areas to tap it and some examples that were too low. I believe it's the higher the better right? Because if it was low you would have the same height of oil in the line all the time as there is in the pan.

 

mine leaked the first time...get a mufler shop to weld it and have piece of mind.

 

Here's mine. It's on a b18b.


This is where/how I placed mine.

kinda blurry but you get the picture

 

My dad works for Honda and he welded my oil return line on at work and and had it repainted at work. So its oem honda still lol.

 

higher the better!!

 

i thought if too high it might be obstructed by the baffle or something like that. the windage tray i mean... i dunno one of those things.

and someone posted that hot oil shouldnt hit the crank upon entry so that may be bad. i dunno. any can clarify?

krazy

 

here is mine...nice and clean

 

Good Post!
has anyone ever had a problem with the fitting on the oil pan(assuming it's in the middle of the pan) getting in the way of your downpipe? I've been through 3 pans trying to get the damn thing lined up....is it better to be tapped on the deep side or the shallow side?

bump for more pics

 

 

How are you guys finding the bolt on flange style ones are as far as leakage? I just did a weld on one and it has a pin hole that gets the front of the pan a little oily. I think I'll braze the hole shut or use some high temp RTV.

Do you use a gasket w/ RTV or just RTV to seal it? BAcking plate or washers?

thanks

 

Off to the driver's side trying to keep it away from the DP. Seems effective so far.

 

Make sure you put the oil pan fitting in a place where it won't make it hard to put the screws back in that hold the pan in place.
