ok school is over and turbo project is here. now i thought i had everything figured out, but i guess not haha. for my turbo coolant lines i was goint to run them to the heater hoses, but i need to know ho the flow goes. so which one, top or bottom, goes to the heater core and which one comes from it.

now on the oil lines is where i have the real problem. i would much rather not drill and weld onto my oil pan for the return line, and i need a place to hook up my oil pressure guage. i know i can use the oil pressure sending unit place on the back of the block. i was thinking of possibly running bot send and return lines there and also the stock oil pressure sending unit if it is safe and makes sense to anyone, and then i need a place for my oil pressure guage. basically i need to know all known points that i can get to oil and which way the flow goes if it is possible.

anyone help?

thanks,

well i have not said this to u but, i like the looks of ur car alot spikey, and as for doing a return for the oil, the pan is the easiest place to go, i took my pan all the way off and had someone tig weld a nipple on it, never leaked, and never will, along with location from the turbo it is an easy hook up on the back side of the pan..... as for the oil feed and pressure, the switch is a pritty easy place to get to, but the problem is getting it not to leak, i finaly got mine to stop leaking after alittle time.....

the coolant lines, are i belive bottom in and top out, but i am not 100 percent sure on that, i will check mine tonight.....

good luck, and keep me posted

 

I don't know the flow direction off the top of my head, but i'm sure i can find it later... I did not use water on my turbo set-up, just oil.

I know you don't want to do it, but return needs to be in the pan and you can "T" of the sending unit for the feed line.

 

any idea where i can put my other oil sending unit or should i just also put that where the feed line is with the stock one

 

yeah, justT it off and put it there, or that is what i did, lol

 

yea thats what im going to have to do. now i have to find a damn place to tig weld. y cant anything be easy lol

 

lol, better than trying to tap the pan, and have it leak,

 

yea true but i still dont want to do it. maybe ill see if i can get completely different oil and coolant lines than the srt ones and still have them fir because i have a feeling the srt ones are going to be too short

 

just buy a new oil pan... on with the bungs in it allready! then you anc get a spacer and a crank scraper too!!! wait thats not easy eather too much money.... but its an idea [/align]

 

haha yea id rather nt spend the money right now
