Turbos dont even need a whole lot of oil so i doubt the pressure loss is going to count for anything

Theres acually a ristrictor in the oil line to the turbo, I dont think flow would be a problem. Id use a soild line and try and hide it, The ones ive seen have these huge ugly black pipe running everywhere.

Hi guys, i know its a theard from the dead..........but along the same lines, can i pick up a water feed from the water pipe, that feeds into the inlet manifold, near the idle control screw??? Also, where can i run the drain to, other than the heater hose, along the plenum?? thanks

Water I think can (t) into your heater hoses & maybe a sandwich plate that sits on your oil filter for your oil.

l have oil feed from oil pressure but don't know where to get oil drain from?

you have to drill and tap a hole in the sump for the oil drain.best to remove the sump so you can remove the shavings from the drilling

would that be my only option to "drill"?

yes pretty much. either drill into the block or drill and tap a hole top of the sump. maybe you should of just got a series 2 engine

Why don't you place one of these on your oil filter. It goes in between the block & the oil filter. Uploaded with ImageShack.us (http://imageshack.us)

I was thinking of getting oil feed from oil pressure sender instead of getting the sandwich plate?

Sandwich plates are usually used for oil coolers. I don't see why it can't be used for your oil feed lines for your turbo. Unless it doesn't drain the oil properly which will put pressure on your seals. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

have oil feed, oil drain, water return = from t piece heater hose, all l need now is to source water feed?

there are plugs in the block that you can use for feed

went down to mechanics and am getting different answers which is confusing me. All l need to know is where to get: * water feed for turbo? * water return = l am getting from heater hose where l have installed a t -piece. as soon as water feed is sorted out l'm all set to crank it over. thanks ---------- Post added 03-03-12 at 12:15 ---------- anyone?
