let me know guys

 

looks ok

 

looks better . but too short to be using steel braded line i think.

 

That is definately much better.

 

much better!

 

damn, thats the same setup?


looks 1000x better.

 

good deal thanks guys, I also have another question. do you have a good way to test the drain and how effective it is. I tried pouring oil into the turbo but oil does'nt seem to want to flow through it. So I pulled the drain off and tried pouring oil through again and still drains through extremely slow. Does anyone know why it does this? Thanks

 

Looks good to me. Too bad you had to pay $75 for a braided oil return kit only to hack it up.

I cant think of a way to test it unless you had a glass oil pan.

 

i have an idea, might require a little work. pull the drain line off of the pan, temporarily plug the pan plug. put a pan under the drain. crank the car. have afriend blip the throttle a few times to see how it flows. Dont do this too long, you'll run out ofoil.

 

what kinda manifold is that ?!

[vent]This project is fucked as hell, I live in the woods and I have no ******* help whatsover. I don't know why the **** I decided to ******* embark on this horid ******* journey. My car has been in the shop now for ******* 3 1/2 months and I want to ******* kill myself [/vent]

 

Yes thats the obvious idea. But that doesnt test the angle of the oil return, which is the whole point of running the test.

 

u know what dude pan looks fine. just put it back together and get on with your life


btw i know how you feel about just giving up.

yes, I just had a real bad day

overdrawn account
beater broke down
had to work late
etc, etc.

just feeling sorry for myself someone please buy my car

 

when you max out 3 credit cards , blow your account and have to ask your mom for haircut money , you know your in deep.

 

disconnect the line from the pan. Fill the car up with the right amount of oil. Lower the car on the ground where it would normally be. If oil leaks out through the hole then the return hole is not in a good spot on the pan. Other then that it will drain fine.

gadamn, are all us boosted fools sad or what?? Coinstar is my savior!! =P

Just take it a day at a time man. Try to enjoy what you're doing cause you'll really never be done, there's always troubleshooting-tuning-upgrading-repairing! But it is worth it.

 

Looks 10x better!! Those SS return lines are a pain in the *** to work with!! Your looks nice!

lol, no doubt.. Thanks for all your support guys

I made a decision not to finance anything that would hamper the reliability of my car because I could'nt imagine anything sucking more than having a blown motor and being in debt so much you could'nt afford to rebuild it. I will finance a build though

 

yeah, looks good. The first set-up didn't look as great, but did it work ok? Looks to me like it would have...

Either way, looks good!

 

Dont fret buddy, looks like youve got a descent setup and will be well worth it

Just protect it

I was in the same boat, live in the sticks, no friends that are into cars that could help or even local members because I live in Canada

Im about the swap in a brand new motor I assembled from scratch, complete 20psi turbo setup, MSD ignition, timing and tuning and all that jazz

You think I know what Im doing?

**** NO!!!

But I try my best every day, your lucky youve got a beater. My cars been down for 4 days now and Im expecting about 3 weeks more before shes mint

You have to take into account that I work in an unheated garage from about 7-12 at night when i get home from work. Average temperature is about 30 deg and all my tools feel about 10 deg colder than that. , If I posted a pic of my beater you would'nt say I was so lucky

Either way that day is over, my oil drain is setup, and I'm feeling much more optimistic , I just keep pluggin away at it whenever I get time

 

i hope that works

no beef with that manifold, but wit the turbo leaning side to side, that def doenst help oil to drain out smoothly. i know first hand.

BTW: you cant pour oil into a turbo and expect it to drain out asap, it isnt a straight journey from FEED HOLE to RETURN. It goes threw and over the bearings and shaft etc... and its thick and cold oil.

ur fine id say. Id kinda we weary about how the turbo leans
