Since we're on the subject of oil supply and drain, here's some good info from Garrett: http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarrett/tech_center/turbo_optimization.html#Oil Supply & Drain
my turbo is about an inch from touching the hood (that high up) and i didnt see a slope enough to put it there. Anyways if it works, it works.
While mine empties into the pan, I wonder if the dipstick tube would drain quick enough? Probably a roller-bearing would have no problems, but I'm not sure about a journal-bearing charger. You could test by running a piece of clear tube (temporary) and watching what happens when the engine is cold (highest pressure).
Kinda what I was thinking too........I went and looked at mine after it was mentioned about using the fill spout for an oil drain, definatley not happening for me. I have the turbo so low, there's no way it would flow properly.
its not that bad at all to tap into the pan , just double check your hole before you drill if you set it to far in the fitting will hit the starter or you wont be able to get your bottom bolt back on for the starter .
Dipstick....no...although I did look
Fill spout...plenty of flow. There may not be a huge angle but the goal is to not create huge pressure in the turbo as to blow the seals out. I have ran many turbos with the drain almost horizontal with no problem.
Really......HMMM, maybe I'll go back and double check to see how much slope I'll have. This would be easier than tapping the pan.:grd:
doesn't amsoil make a cap for the oil fill thats already setup for a return there for their bypass oil filtering systems? Or maybe it's FS2500 that does?
I have never hear of this, does it matter which piping you put the boots on or does it have to be on the big charger? Which pipes have to flex?
If you powder coat them will the inside still corrode if using aluminized steel piping?
