90 oil filter housing have oil feed port?

[canonize-ryda]

After a little searching all the threads are a little unclear. Does the 90 oil filter housing have a port for the oil feed line? I'm looking at a oil feed kit and it feeds from the housing and provides a 90 degree fitting to housing and -4 an. It doesnt tell me about what size the housing is it just says it fits it. Will this work?

Thanks

The 90 housing has the same port you are referring to.

To ensure you use the correct port:
6 bolt swap 90 ofh turbo feed
RRE's Turbo Oil Line Installation Instructions -- towards the bottom of the page.

So i use port 3? Not port 1?

If you want filtered oil sent to your turbo, use #3.

If i want filtered oil? Would you want unfiltered oil?

No... Unfiltered oil may cuase harm to the turbo. Just use the filtered oil port. And should be just fine

Thanks he almost made it sound like this.. Yea if you "want" Filtered oil. haha

It was a bit of a facetious remark as there really shouldn't have been a reason for you to ask the question "port #3 or port #1??" after reading the links provided for you (which I trust you did).

I wouldn't have said, "If you want filtered oil..." if that isn't what I meant. Anyone in their right mind would choose filtered oil over unfiltered oil to send anywhere in their engine, including the turbo. But as you read in the first link, some people mean well and still make the wrong selection due to unsubstantiated information.

Still thank you. I scimmed them and seen a guy say one guy was wrong and yea. I'll read better next time.

Just found this and have to add a +1 for the great info.

Cool, thanks for the post. I will run a separate braided oil line to my turbo and plumb a gauge into the port on the oil filter housing.

That diagram is correct and the way you should run it. I have it that way on my 90.
