lol yea the easiest way is to either weld into the stock oil pan... or you can buy the morso oil pan which i think has a nipple welded into it already it also has the windage tray and all that good stuff.... and as for the oil pressure sender... i still cant get mine to stop leaking... the next time i do an oil change i am going to def be under there with a tube of high temp silicon.... and im gonna goto town on the effin thing... hahahahaha but when you take the stock oil pressure sender off and put the new brass t and all that stuff on.... use something called "pipe dope" on all of the threads it is much much much better than yellow teflon tape its just a little more messy but it will seal the threads very very well.... and make sure you have the right tool to take the stock oil pressure sender off... there is a special socket for the oil pressure sender... so yea thats about all i have to say good luck mikey and remember im at NJIT in Newark fairly often so if ur ever in the area lemme know

 

special socket???? this gets worse and worse. what does it look like?

 

i dont mean to thread jack
mike are you going tokeep the atx in?

 

you get the socket at most parts stores it is called a oil pressure sender socket

 

andpto: for now yes. but i will swap it eventually


and on that socket... im sure a vice grip or something will work haha unless the socket is cheap then maybe ill buy it

 

i beleave the srts have to oil pressure and return come out of expansion plugs on the block, but i could be wrong..... if u could find out what expansion is pressure and return, u could do it that way....

 

they come out of two holes that are right above the oil sender. i dont think our blocks have that

 

nope they dont...... hmmmmm.......i will have to think about this one, as far as i know, those r the only places u can go, return could maybe go to an expansion plug, but what one i do not know........

 

i just drilled an tapped my pan... teflon tape on the plug and never had a problem with leaks. Factory turbo cars use the pan, why not just use it? The only other option is one of those adapters for the oil filter. Some buy the part seperatley but they also sell the piece in an oil cooling kit.

here is a pic of one in this kit: http://www.alamomotorsports.com/pmc/Cat_page07.html It has a feed and a return.

edit: found them here sold alone. not sure of our size filter threads though. (I wouldn't suggest using the feed for proper pressure reasons. Plug it and just use the return.) Keep in mind that a oil return for a turbo is gravity fed and doesn't have much pressure behind it. Make sure the line doesn't have any kinks and the oil does not have to flow upward.

im just going to have someone tig weld a bung on there for me i already have a place, but i dont feel like paying 50 for it lol
