[wannawangan]

No plug for the mag. I just thought that this mag article had some good pics and info about building a DOHC KA-T.

Share your thoughts!

did anyone see what they did for the oil feed and return lines? they just tapped into the main oil galley after the pump, but before the filter...and they put the return in the block right above the spot on the pan where most people put it...anyone have thoughts on this set up? drilling extra holes in the block seems a little gutsy to me...

I personally think 99% of HCI is crap. Maybe I'll have to go pick up this issue, but I can assure you a subscription isnt in the future.

Most factory turbo systems get their oil straight from the block. I haven't seen where they got it from, but I doubt is would be a heavily stressed point on the block. I doubt a point lower on the block would be a stressed point for an oil return either. SCC magazine put their return line into the block with the Project 240sx they did many years ago.

How about scanning that article?

Thanks, Dave

the cool thing about hci is you can use what you read , not just look at all the pictures of girls, like import tuner

[emperor_lunchbox]

Thanks,[email protected]

[s13rb25det]

i wasnt questioning the strength of tapping directly into the block, im more concerned with the fact that unfiltered oil would supply the turbo in their setup, and that having a tap in the high pressure galley between the pump and the filter might affect overall oil pressure negatively...just my thoughts

WOULD SOMBODY PLEASE SCAN THAT ARTICLE ON HERE AS THE MAGAZINE IS IN LONGER ON THE NEWSSTANDS?

Thanks,Dave

scan please or are u gonna make us all do backorders(if even avail)???

[Florida240sx]

Waiting for scanned material....worthless thread until then.

The oil pressure would not be hurt unless your pump is worn to the point that the regulator is at it's stop. Also, the KA NEVER used a MAP. Finally, putting a bung in the block is probably one of the best possible ideas, unless you factor in windage. My two cents.
