i used apower steering flange (i think) that i pulled off of a turbo eclipse. Then I cut off the mushroom thingy and used it as my drain (the flange is 99% the same, i ahd to bore out some). I have a t25 btw.

14B is kinda pain in the ***, first off, nobody makes a threaded flange for them, so you will not be able to screw in any threaded fittings to it. your best bet is to just buy stck eclipse's oil return setup, it's one piece from the flange to the turbo to the flange to the oil pan, you may need to cut ad extend the lines to make it fit, but it's prlly your best bet out there,....

Re: homemade turbo, oil return line (Flamenco-T)
im having the same problem. i have the oil/coolant lines on the 14b already, how do i run them to my block? i actually want to avoid tapping and run a T off an oil relocation kit.
as far as the lines, one end looks like an eye (o O o) and the other is a banjo fitting? im pretty sure the one with the big bolt in the center is the coolant intake? i forget if i have the exit line

Re: homemade turbo, oil return line (XDEep)
the one with a flex section is the oil return, the one opposite of the return hole is the feed line, it is banjo as well, normally...
the one on either side with rubber hose attached somewhere in the lines is the coolant lines...
if you 're having trouble finding fittings for it, let me know, I can help you...

haha thats ghetto. i certainly am not ghetto
now if i use an oil filter relocation kit and want to just tap into its lines for the turbo, is it ok to use ss braided lines for the turbo to the lines and keep the relocation lines that come with the kit? i assume ss is only need around the turbine due to the heat. or since i have the stock steel lines attached to the turbo already, can i just use rubber?
btw all of pep boys' lines are either vacuum lines or fuel lines, is that sufficient for oil?

I don't think cutting the stock return and extending it with a rubber hose is ghetto. It may not look as good but it will get the job done for a lot less money and its easier.

Ghetto? Ghetto is when you put altzzas on your car with no engine mods and think your sweet. Ghetto is dumping thousands of dollars into making everything look all pretty and and you're still runing 14's! Think of whats practical! Do you want to go fast or do you want to be some Ford Mustangs bitch. You tell me.... Just use the ruber tubing on your return!

its like that on all turbo's because the feeed is always pressurized oil, return is gravity fed.

Re: homemade turbo, oil return line (project dc2)
I ran into this problem as well and am still trying to figure everything out since I am running ss lines for the feed and return. I thought the return flange hahn racecraft sells for 8 bucks would work but it seems to thin to be threaded into(3/16") so im going to end up making something custom. For the return fitting off the turbo im using a 1/8npt to -3an 45° male elbow. But since the hole in the turbo for the feed is 7/16(12mm) Im using a staright adapter fitting that goes into the 1/8npt fitting that I tapped for 12mm.
