420A Oil return/feed lines

[dntblnk95]

If anyone could help point me in the direction of where the oil feed and return lines should be hooked up onto a 420a motor (2g 97-99) that would be greatly appricated.

I know the return/dump line should go to the oil pan, but a location on where people are doing this would be great. Pictures would be even better.

So if anyone has a writeup or pictures of where the oil lines should go that would help me greatly. Also if you could supply lengths of oil lines, fitting sizes, and flanges that would be even better. Thanks in advance.

look at dsm zeros post just below yours he has a nice pic of the tap drawn on the oil pan. put it as high on the pan as you can and still weld around it. lots of people just drill a hole and use a tap a washer and a nut. i think welding it is better. for the oil inlet for the turbo i used a oil sandwich adaptor just above the oil filter. it has a clean look and you can put a oil temp gauge sensor in it with a little work.
good luck. pm me and i will send you some pic's of that adaptor.

Alright i understand about the dump spot but what about where the oil feed is getting tapped off of. I see a SS line running to the back of the engine. Where is it connecting to?

Thanks in advance.

Ok so the bottom left adapter/outlet is where you have the oil line feeding the turbo? Just want to make sure. And the top one is the sensor.

 

[selmerguy]

yeah the left one is for the turbo and the right one is oil temp. the open threads are for the oil filter.

You wouldn't happen by chance to know fittings sizes for that. If so that would be awsome If not thanks for all the help. Appricate it.

of course i know. the out puts are 3/8 i can't remember what size the adaptor to the block fitting is but i found it easy with a yahoo search.
