MJLamberson Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Ive searched and found that when useing a turbo with a na oil pan you thread a little barbed thingy http://www.rittenhouse.ca/content/images/Big/hosebarb=mght.jpg like that, into the top of the oil pan for a return oil line off the turbo... my worry is that even if I seal it it would eventualy leak, unless I threaded a nut to it on the inside, is that nessecary? EDIT: I already bought the little piece and realized it could have some wiggle room when put through thin metal (oil pan) kinda like putting a nail through a thin piece of wood. I hope my worries are uncalled for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJLamberson Posted March 10, 2008 Author Share Posted March 10, 2008 yeah I have a 3/8 , that pic was to give an example of what I was talking about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spotfitz Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I used something very similiar to this with a nut and brass washers on either side of the pan. For now I just have it capped off since I put the motor in still running the SU's, but will be going EFI and turbo eventually. http://www.purechoicemotorsports.com/index.cfm/page/ptype=product/product_id=71/category_id=87/home_id=71/mode=prod/prd71.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFancypants Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 It won't leak on the NPT side, but the hose barb might seep a little. Remember not to overtighten the fitting and you'll be fine. - Greg - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Purple240zt Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 3/8 seems small to me. you want a big return line Oil leaves the turbo via gravity, not pressure. Evan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
