Default Nervous about oil return line..pic inside

Dont say I need to get a new oil return line. Trying to make this work , if I cant then I will by a different one.

Does that kink in the middle make a difference? Does it look like it will work???? That is my most import question

Why not just cut 1/2" out of the line and make the gradient smooth?

I agree with Fredo, it looks low to me as well. It needs to be in the pan as high as possible. Unless the pic is deceiving.

I wish I could. The muffler shop i took it to welded my 2.5 dp to my 3" exhaust . I thought they would put a flange to bolt them together. After they finished they told me I need to get a flex pipe then they will take care of it. I couldn't cause I didnt have a job back then.


Can I do this???? Cut the dp after the o2 bong and bolt it up. Break in my engine wtih that. I got a base map already put in my ecu for hondata. Will that mess anything up if I have my o2 plugged in and open dp???? This will on be till i get to the muffler shop

Thanks

it will smoke like that.the fitting is way to low in the tank.it is below the oil level.the hose should be 5/8 id as well.that doesn't look big enough.i would put it in the block.like this:https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=872528

i think it will be fine your drain on the turbo is higher than the oil level in the pan so it should drain without a problem i would think

the line looks ok. the fitting in the pan looks like it may be a little too low. can't tell if it'll be low enough to back up the line though. as for the bend in the braided line, if it really bothers you that much or gets in the way, just shorten the line and reinstall. better to be longer than shorter. then at least you can make adjustments now.

I don't know much about a lot, but that looks like is in the middle or damn
near.


P.S. hurry up and take the VIN off before the cops find it.
