420A Turbo oil return tap in pan?

[cyrez187]

when u put your tap for your oil return in you pan, does it matter if its above the oil or what? thanks

oil return uses gravity basically to send the oil back into the pan...if you have it so low that it's in the oil, it's gonna be kinda hard for the oil to drain

 

[cyrez187]

anyone have pics of their tap?

Here are a few good shots of mine. There are a bunch of reducers in mine I know, but it gets the job done

(Move yours about an inch or 2 to the right, I had to grind the bracket for that pump quite a bit to get clearance where I placed it..It wasn't fun)

On another note, since you aren't turbo yet, why don't you change your profile back to N/T until the process is complete? It will be better for other members to help with any problems you may run into before you go turbo.

I don't have a very clear picture of mine, but if you look at the picture of my turbo in my gallery, you can kind of get an idea of where it's at.

If anything, here's where Hahn recommends putting it...

You gonna turn me into Hahn for copyright infringement, XMasta?

With correct amount of Oil in Crankcase Stock Turbo Oil Pan will drip Oil even when Car is on drive-on Ramps when Turbo Oil Drain Line is pulled - So FYI Stock tap location on a 1G is BELOW Oil Level when car is level - which surprised me.

umm....why are you posting in this forum

...dont't worry paul...I'm keepin my eye on you

 

[DSMcrazy3]

LoL come on now. Anyone can post in the forum. I do believe he is right though. I've seen the return on a GS-T and it looked to be placed below the surface of the oil. Though I don't understand how it doesn't back the turbo up..

I didn't say that his 4G63 wasn't setup like that.................doesn't mean we're the same.


z, I'm just being a douche...you can all ignore me, that's why I only have 1 green bar

and it says "you are more helpful than not"




doesn't the feed line push new oil into the turbo, therfore forcing the oil into the drain and into the pan?

and also, when the car is on, a lot of the oil is circulating, which means a lower level in the pan. lower level in the pan would make that drip stop.

*disclaimer: my information may be false and stupid*


The feed line is pressurized yes, but the return is gravity operated

Refer to the Hahn guide for references on where to tap the oil drain. Of anything, you want it to be above the oil level. Otherwise, it will just trap oil inside the return line, turbo, and back the whole sysytem up because the oil has nowwhere to drain. It needs to have the least restrictive passage as possible.

GEE, my oil oil systyem must be all backed up then.


I am 1" below the oil level. The oil will not back up if you have a large enough oil return. I run 8an return. The oil return and oil pan are like 2 glasses of water with a drain hose between them. you fill one and they will equalize. If you oil return is too small it can back up and cause a leak in the turbo.

Rule of thumb is to place the oil return where Hahn recommends to eliminate the possability of human error.

As far as comparing a GST and our setup, the GSt has a much better designed PCV system which takes into account the motor is turbo'd. Our PCV needs to be redesigned when reaching higher boost.
