Who sells the nicest oil feed/drain kit? S400

[DetailsUnlimited]

I have a LBZ motor and looking for a complete kit that isn't half ass put together for S400 turbo. Names and if you have pics that would be nice as well. Thx

So that setup would work on an S369, too?

Wherli sells something similar, too. Question: Why plug the oil feed in the valley and draw from the side oil galley? Not enough flow from the valley port?

Correct Tom on the 2nd part. I'd have to call and ask about the first question as I will need them for both my 69's.

Thanks Tark. Must be something that was found from the old BD turbo failures way back when?

Just called merchant and this kit only works for the s400. But if enough ppl want it for the S300 they will make it. Just have to call them.

Besides the fact off not enought oil......it can run the cam bearing dry that it's pulling from. You want a -6 feed. Local hydraulic shop makes ours and we have used the merchants in the past for drains. Ppe also modifys stock drains.

Unless they updated it. Merchant oil feed line is about 2 inches too short in my opinion.

From the front p-side oil galley?

Wouldn't the only difference from the 300-400 kits be the AN fitting on the charger?

Not the one I got that damn thing could have went around back of the turbo, around the downpipe a couple of times and then up to the turbo. mine comes out from the valley and lays over on the fuel rail and then goes up to the turbo

Had the same issue on my BD 364 (pulling from the valley), lasted around 1k miles IIRC…

Merchants or HSP. Both have almost identical kits. Each should have one that works with either s300 or s400 turbos.

From the port by the oil cooler/filter housing

I used Merchants kit on my s366, and now have it on my 369. No issues what so ever for me
