s475 oil feed/return questions

[Balindir]

As simple as it may be, could someone please explain what I need for an s475 install, as far as oil is concerned. I'm getting everything I need to install the turbo from a friend, except the oil feed/return. I don't have the turbo yet so I didn't really have a chance to look at it and see, but i don't even really know what the stock set-up looks like, so that's why I'm a little lost. Sorry for the noob question.

go to eric merchants website, he has a kit with the feed line and drain line kit! very nice looking stuff, you get everything you need!

do you need bolts to put the fittings on the engine?

 

[mackthehack]

racepartsolutions.com is another place that has turbo stuff

I can get feed lines and fittings relatively cheap. Have gotten quite a few kits for guys on here

His kit is nice, but I had to use different fittings for the block and on the turbo because his did not fit right. His lines are nice.

Yup thats what i am using.

 

[Balindir]

Awesome. I can't wait to get this turbo on! Thanks guys! :dancenana:

 

[Dirtymaxx03]

you know where to put the feed line?

 

[Balindir]

Isn't there a port down on the right side of the block?

 

[Balindir]

Or is that were the drain line goes?

 

[Dirtymaxx03]

drain goes to the stock location. The feed is on the driver side of the block by the oil filter. if you PM me your number i can send you a quick pic

 

[Balindir]

PM sent.

I can see if any of the guys I have gotten lines for have pictures. Made by an industrial shop here. Comes with a 30mmx1.5 plug and washer, cam journal plug, fittings for block and charger and feed line. I havent seen anywhere else that can get you a plug thats not $30 all by itself.

If you guys need stainless braided oil feed/return kits shoot me a PM :thumb:

 

[Balindir]

That would be great. Talked to the guy I'm getting the turbo from, turns he might have one for me. If not I will get in contact. Thanks.

If only Merchant made their oil feed line 4-6" longer... would save a lot of headache for the big single turbo guys... Mine is a PITA.
