I am busy as hell up to December 29th, Christmas/Holiday parties 7 days a week.

I will check my schedual tomarrow and see if there are any early Sundays for me.

When are you done with school?

Hey If you need an extra pan, i have one, its in decent shape for $30. You can come pick it up, or if you want, give me $45 and I will ship it. Its a virgin pan, no fittings or anything. If you tell me the type of fitting you want, I can drill and tap it, or weld in a bung or whatever you need.

same here, i'm hoping to get it tuned @ Sean Ivey when the install is finished. although i wanna see what my car is putting out now just to see how much of an increase i'm getting...

SHouldnt you use the oil pan tap for the turbo oil return? Get a sandwhich adaptor for the oil filter for the cooler. And for the oil feed, not sure, think in 7gs, theres a bolt in the front left section of the head, just like the 1g/2g 4g63ts.

Just let me know. Typically your oil return line should be at least double the size of the feed line. Your oil cooler setup has nothing to do with the return line. That adaptor you have sends oil to the cooler and back into the filter housing to get back to the motor.

**run1206** · 11-10-2007, 11:10 PM

i'm assuming to go with the return at -8AN and the feed at -4AN. Do i need another for the oil filter, cuz i thought this one was the one i needed, (unless i need an adapter just for the tap itself...)

**qnz** · 11-11-2007, 01:01 PM

im using a -10an for oil return. have fun making the SS lines! remember, to measure, and measure again before you cut. and when youre about to cut, measure it again. ive have to make my line about 3 times. :cry:

**underated** · 11-11-2007, 02:28 PM

i used a 5/8th barbed fitting then switched to a -10an... i welded a 1/2npt female fitting to the pan so i could switch out fittings if i need too

I know what you mean Aaron.

I am using -10 as well and with my manifold its a weird angle into the pan. I am using a 90 degree -10 hose end on the turbo side and a 30 degree -10 hose end on the pan side. I broke one of the 30 degree fittings, I didnt use enough assembly lube and the barb snapped off, what a waste for $38. Nothing like spending $110 to make a return line.

Run, I would use either a -10 return line or 1/2" high temp rubber line and just tap a barb fitting into the pan like Mtcavity.

If your feeding the turbo from the sandwhich plate adaptor, I would use a -3AN feed not a -4AN. If you search around the DSM forums, anyone feeding from the filter housing or sandwhich plate who runs a full -4 line has problems in the upper RPM range with too much oil pressure and it blows past the seal in the turbo.

I am personally running a -4AN feed line, but where it enters the turbo, I have a -3AN reducer to restrict flow so I dont blow oil thru the seals. This may end up not being an issue for you since you still have balance shafts in your motor where as I dont and most built DSMs dont. Without the balance shafts im seeing alot of oil pressure. My Pressure sending unit is in the head and I have 12-15psi at idle once its warmed up. On my EVO motor I was seeing like 5psi at idle if I was lucky.

**run1206** · 11-12-2007, 01:38 PM

i think i might go with the -10AN return and -3AN feed line, i guess i have to do a 1/2npt fitting on the pan as well, unless there's other fitting that would go better with the pan....

**underated** · 11-12-2007, 11:14 PM

are you gonna use a regular hose or a steel braided line?

what kind of fitting is on the return part of the turbo?

i'm gonna use a steel braided line, not sure what the fitting size is for the turbo, gonna check that later this week.

**underated** · 11-13-2007, 12:08 AM

this is what i was talking about

you dont have to do it but i put a 45 degree fitting in there to help with the draining

**run1206** · 11-13-2007, 12:12 AM

hmmm....haven't really thought of that. i guess i could go with a 45 degree fitting if its gonna help with draining

i thought that was already taken care of when the weld is put in :?

**underated** · 11-13-2007, 12:17 AM

my downpipe had a wierd angle to it when i first did it your should be fine so you dont really need a 45* fitting

k
i'm looking to getting the cooler and Stewi's pan this week...
i gotta search for the braided lines and other misc. fittings that i may need

**mko** · 11-13-2007, 01:44 AM

Keep up with the good work bro.

As I see on the pics you have a little crack on the wastegate. I hope is nothing serious

**underated** · 11-13-2007, 04:48 AM

this is the type of fitting i had
http://himni-racing.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=532

you will need something like this for the oil drain for the 14b (there are 2 different versions of the 14b center cartridge, you have to measure the spacing from the center of the 2 bolts)
