Nice looking setup for sure. If only the -10AN lines were bigger....Here is a picture of my drain. -10 AN pushlock.
Yeah, I was surprised to see that too. Years ago, I received an FP drain with a used turbo that I bought off a guy. I was surprised to see that they used such a small diameter hose (-8), but I used the thing for a year and I never had an issue...The "FP Blue" drain tube has an ID of .375'', by far the worst. Wish I hadn't bought this thing.
will that 2g drain work on a holset hx40?
Sure, you just need a t3 drain on the turbo. Then run a piece of hose to the cut off 2g piece.
That would keep the pressure from increasing when the rpm increase. I dont know if its good to run the same pressure at idle and redline, dont you want it to increase as the rpms increaseJust to add to this huge debate. If you really want to run from the ofh, you could put a regulator in the line so that not only are you controlling volume you are also controlling pressure, and you can adjust. When you put a restricter on the turbo your basically making a pressure washer. To do it correctly I would personally control it right off the housing that way it has some time to flow and loose pressure down the line and not shoot onto the turbo like a pressure washer.
Instead you could get one of these Regs and put 2 -4 fittings on it and call it a day install it right next the the OFH and now you have full control of it. Anyone think of that......?

Here is a picture of my drain. -10 AN pushlock. My friend made me fittings to bolt to the turbo and weld onto the pan. The pushlock fittings have 3 notches on them to keep the hose from sliding off. I had to cut one notch off of each to keep the hose from kinking. The silver spring looking thing is from Goodyear to keep the hose from kinking as well.
I'm using -4 AN supply, no balance shafts, OFH ported, and the one time I put a gauge on, I was seeing about 80 psi of pressure at about 6000 rpm. I'm only on 7 lbs of boost and haven't driven it but a couple hundred miles so I guess time will tell. So far no smoking issues.

where did u get the anti kink spring?
I know they sell them at o'reilly's.The silver spring looking thing is from Goodyear to keep the hose from kinking as well.
Came up with a nice drain for my holset, i ended up drilling my 10an fittings out to 11/16ths, and using two 3/4 copper street 45s, one on each oil drain fitting, and a piece of 3/4 copper pipe between the two. No kinks and now theres no sharp 90 degree turn that might fall below the oil level in the pan
Not bad.................. I guess I'll be the first to ask.
Any pics?
