Turbo Oil Return in to sump

Postby rjr666 » Thu Aug 31, 2006 10:19 pm

Ok dont toast me yet, im sure this topic has been covered, but i want to put the oil return in a diffrent position,

.... in between the Engine mount and the back of the Air con compressor as you can see in this picture...

The idea is to mount it as high as possible above the oil level hopefully.


Thanks guys

mmm nice speedflow fittings ;)

Yeah bout the same height, just futher back towards to dip stiick where the two ridges jut out inbween there i belive...

My idea is to use a 90degree drill, a turned down drill and drill the side :D without having to take a/c compressor off ect...

That Photo Is with the A/C Bracket Off and teh A/C pump hanging on a piece of Wire :) Didn't even remove the Lines
Thank for the Comment on the Speedflow fittings :) I used them on all the water and oil lines Adds plenty of Bling factor
