Nope you pretty much got it. My recommendation to you is to either disable the Oil pressure sending unit all together, its pretty useless as it is anyway. If its on, your engine is already screwed. The reason you dont want to T this into the block is that engine vibrations put downward force on that connection that can break it causing all your oil to end up on the road. If you want to get an electrical sending unit or something remotely mount it with some steel braided lines/fittings.

Or just ignore the T all together and go with screwing the feed line directly into the oil distribution block. I think you need an adapter for this.. Idk.

hmmm okay. maybe im just dumb or maybe its cuz its 5:00 am but im thoroughly confused... lol

can anyone post up a pic of where their oil feed line is hooked up to?..

thanks

for real? i know SOMEONE wants to go take a quick picture of where their oil feed line taps into...

No, no they dont want to do that at all. What they would like you to do is do your own research. For starters, read everything in the Ka-T info/FAQ thread at the top of the page. It has everything in it you will ever need to know.

I went to the FAQ/Ka-T info thread at the top of this page. Then i went to DIY guides. I then found a link with this title.. 'Bobby's DIY turbo oil feed/return lines install'. I clicked on it, and holy ish, your question had already been answered a few years ago and listed in a way that anyone could find!

Ill even give you the link itself. It has your picture.zerothread?id=140446

sorry, unlike some people, i dont have hours at my leisure to sit on the internet and "peruse" through several 48 page threads looking for one thing. my car doesnt come before school and work in my list of priorities. Now, i got MOST of what i need to know off of them already or from fellow nico-members such as yourself, and im just trying to tie up a few loose ends. so thanks captain a-hole, for that enlightening post. i didnt know i was "inconveniencing" you when i asked someone to snap a phone pic or something of their oil feed line. cuz its so time consuming and all...

You fail.

Last time i try to help you. GL with your project.

[livinglegend2100]

Aight d!ck, thanks. I have whats known as a learning disability. I'm sure you've heard of them. its pretty basic. Unlike someone such as yourself, who can find something, read it, understand it, and be done with it, I cant exactly do that. hence why i mentioned that its a lot easier for me to see it in person/ examine pictures of what i need to know instead of reading about it. Im a VERY hands on type of learner.

I have probably honestly read the sticky's 3 or 4 times but it doesnt help much. it just doesnt "stick", and i really cant remember much of whats in there. It's unfortunate that you're judgemental and impatient with someone who is trying to learn, but i suppose thats my fault also. GL with life

[480sx]

Combination of errors here i suppose. The tone of that 6:03 post was pretty ****ty, i have been helping you consistency and you dont even thank me you just get pissy with me because i tell you to research in a way that shows my aggravation with your 'noobish' questions. We get so many people in and out of here that are simply lazy and dont want to spend any time researching, and thats how i had you pegged. How am i supposed to know that you have a LD.

Hehe, impatient? Take a look at my posts. Even my post on 3:45 PM 12/30/2008, while it conveyed a tone of annoyance and might have been condescending was trying to teach you how to use the FAQ to answer your own questions. I wrote you off(judged you, whatever) because you got pissy with me.

Anyway, no hard feelings. Ill still be here answering questions and giving advice.

[livinglegend2100]

I'm not one to take things personally so whatev. But in all honesty i searched. a lot. type in "oil feed line" in the search thing and i read damn near ALL of them. Maybe 1 or 2 of them dealt with what i needed to know, but didnt have any information.. I also read through the "Adding a Turbo to a Stock KA24 (Noobs Read)" 2 or 3 times through. which i might add is a very BLAND overview of the mechanical aspect of the setup. Although its very informative for the pre-requisits and basics, it doesnt talk much about any of the details of building a setup. I also looked through the FAQ a couple times but obviously missed the "bobby's DIY" thread.

I dont mean to come off as an a$$. It just bothers me when im asking people for help that i know used to be in the same position as me, and they dismiss me for asking basic questions that may or may not have been previously covered 12 years ago. All i really ask is that I be treated with the respect and understanding that you would have wanted when you were in my shoes. I dont think thats too much honestly..

When you buy the oil feed kit, it will become clear. I just did it recently. If you have ramps, put your car on the ramps and take off the bottom splash shield. Then locate the oil filter and remove it to have more space to work. To the right of the oil filter you will see the oil sending unit. Unscrew that using a deep socket. Then use the oil feed kit from JGS (http://jgsturbo.com/index2.html). One end of the braided line goes there, the other goes to the turbo, on its top side. The oil kit brings a little connector called a restrictor, which prevents too much oil pressure from getting to the turbo and blowing its seals.

For the oil return, you must remove the oil pan. I actually started a thread on this because I had no idea on how to do it and people gave me some ideas. I posted some picture of that in that thread, it's called "ideas on turbo oil pan".

Oh, when you start this, plan to have the car down until you're done, this is the point of no return on going ka-t, so it's a good idea to have all your material ready, or have another daily driver, like most people do.

[livinglegend2100]

aight cool. with the JGS kit does it just use a T-fitting from the engine or does it go into an oil distribution block? then the restrictor,turbo,etc.?

yea im gonna try and knock it out in a weekend maybe next month. im collecting all the parts right now. thats why im asking so many littel questions and ****. i wanna make sure i have everything, and know everything i need to get it done so i dont run into and little hiccups and have my car down for a week or whatev

thanks

Yes, the JGS kit comes with the T adapter, but as said before they tend to break causing your oil to go everywhere but where it needs to go. What I'm running is this, and I suggest you do the same. The feed line from JGS screws right into it and you have ports for different oil related gauges (pressure, temp) if you want to add them in the future. It goes on right where your stock oil filter is then the filter screws onto it. Pretty neat.

yea for sure, i was looking at those a while back. ive heard a lot of horror stories with just using the T-adapter.

so should people with god complexes but what can you do right?

[Chris28]

I don't know if you have gotten a manifold or not, but I'd go with the SSA mani. I just put my exhaust back on tonight and EVERYTHING lines up perfectly. Exhaust components are as follows: SSA mani, Ebay T25 turbo outlet, Ebay SR20 downpipe, gutted stock cat (stock size) then my HKS Hi Power. Just get the T25 outlet and an SR downpipe and from your cat back it will just bolt up. If you are on a budget just find used stock SR oulet and dp, it will save you some cash. I got 3 inch pieces though. Say no to exhaust constriction!

ya i already got one but that sounds really nice. im pickin up a blitz nur spec system this weekend hopefully and probably a hi-flow cat. next week

My point was a simple one...no one could know you have a LD. Nor is it an excuse as I as well as millions of other have SOMETHING wrong with them. I have ADD...but I get by quite well. I don't insult others because of it, nor do I use it like some kind of a crutch.

There are 100's of types of LD's, some not so bad. You seem to have comprehended what was spoon fed to you quite well, so I'll venture to say you are afflicted with a mild LD if any at all.

My expert diagnosis is that you are a titty baby that lashes when he doesn't get what he asks for.

Rather then insult Nate for not giving you what you wanted, you could have ignored what he said and waited for someone else to reply. Especially since he had already helped you a quite a bit...without thx I might add. But no, you insulted him right off. That's not a LD that makes you do that...it's YOU.

What does a God complex have to do with murdering people with a LD? Don't answer, I'm not REALLY asking you.

Point is, be more grateful for the help you get and less trigger happy with the insults.

Turbo Oil Return Line Pics

Flip through a few of those pages, it'll help you with some idea's on routing etc for the drain line.

No hard feelings man, I just want you to lighten up.

[coolbone28]

Just buy an oil sandwich plate adapter. That way you dont have to mess with a T-fitting and you can use the other ports for oil press, temp as well.

[madd ocx]

how about http://www.ka-t.org? that would help answer alot of you questions. nico is good but ka-t is just as it states all ka all the time no sr, rb etc interruptions lol..

yea i got the oil line stuff figured out. but thank you.

secondly, im not using my LD as a crutch, or a means for being a d!ck. im not the sharpest tool in the shed. ive come to terms with it. in fact, i really could care less if you make light of it. ****, i do all the time. <-- me. see? but there wasnt anything funny about what you said. it was just being an *******. i rarely take things personally, but sometimes think about what you want to say before you say it. mmmmkaythnx

The FMU will work with any turbo at low boost. As an example, they used to offer the FMU with the TO4B turbo kit back in the day. It was from FMAX iirc...
