i personally wouldn't trust anything that important with a noname ebay kit. jgs is relatively cheap and i can say first hand that it is quality.

It doesn't seem to be a bad setup, and I love/hate the 48" line. I thought about it, but instead I got mine from cheapturbolines.com. I liked not having to take the pan off to weld it up. It has some really great hardware.

Wait, you didn't have to weld anything to the oil pan?!?! How did you install the return line, then?

I haven't installed it yet. It is on it's way, but yes, you do not have to weld anything.

I just checked on it, and you're right. No welding. I'd be concerned though about metal shavings falling into the oil pan while drilling the holes for the flange. I guess you could flush it with oil a few times before starting the engine, though.

It really is an ingenious setup, and no more prone to failure if correctly installed.

like a guy said ealier.. just remember to get a 1/8" BSPT adapter for the feed line.. a NPT fitting won't fit in the block.

you can make your own much cheaper.. somewhere around $30 if you know what sizes of everything you need.. it's in a sticky somewhere.. I went through and made my own feed line, with a fitting for the block, oil temp sender, oil pressure sender, and oil feed line..

They told me the inlet is only 18" is that correct? There is no way that is enough.

I'm not seeing the part about not having to weld on the bung. How does this work?

There is a threaded bung, that uses o-rings. You just drill a hole, slide in the piece and use the o-ring and set screw to clamp it to the pan.
