Who is Mccaster? The Greddy kit doesn't come with everything? And which oil line are you speaking of. Lastly, please use some inkling of grammar. I had to read it 3 times to understand what you were trying to say.

you can buy an oil line kit off eBay for not very much.. I however bought a length of 1/8th copper tube a 90* fitting and whatever size it was for the turbo inlet fitting, a couple flares for each end and done.

you can test your pump kinda, just get a pressure tester and see what it hits for max pressure a solid running stock pump should put a good 65~70psi I had a 5~7 year sitting with gas older than that and it put out 63psi without the relay mod. however I would suggest you go ahead and buy one a new walbro shipped to you door via one of our great sponsors is under 100bux. cheap assurance is what was said in the past and it rings true in the present and future.

This is a tech forum, use grammar from now on and spell check. It DOES make it easier for the rest of us to help you if we understand what you're talking about.

You mention Mccaster, it's actually McMaster. So that clears that part up. Then you mention oil line...well what oil line? There are two, one is pressure and one is return.

Go to http://www.jgstools.com and buy the oil line kit they have. It's complete and affordable, all the guys that use this method don't have issues, those that piece their own together often end up with issues on the return or pressure side do to oil pressure and or lack of an effective drain setup.

Here's a link to the page with all the stuff you'll need.

OH...there's no need to swap the pump on the S14. The S14 has a way better pump then the S13. Mine was able to support 14 psi with 42lb injectors on a daily basis. Now that doesn't mean yours will do the same, but for low boost the S14 pump should be just fine. MSD makes an easy to install inline booster pump as well. It's only $94 and can support 400whp by itself on a boosted motor I have one

So the stock fuel pump should be good for 10 lbs of boost.

I'd say yes. But like I tell everyone else, have a wideband O2 meter installed for tuning. That way you no for sure what everything is doing. If you're going to run more then 10 psi swap the pump.

Im gonna try to be respectful i apologize, i cant help your headlights look ugly. If you wanted to smoke your headlight go to autzone and buy 35% tint,instead of trying to be cheap. Secondly look on the greddy.com and see how much there kit cost. That is alot of money to f*** off. Third it never hurts to have more than enough information. Fourth i didnt act like i knew it all i place my opinion. i dont know if you know, but its not easy turbocharging a car its alot of stuff that goes with it. Dude i just finish rebuilding my motor from top to bottom Bored ported and polished,you know who helped me my craftsman tool set. Next time dont post a worthless thread

hey man, it would have looked better if you did not even reply, he obviously has his panties in a bunch to come from another part of nico just to bash you, I dont know the whole deal or care, if you need to get with an admin, they tend to handle people being out right stupid.

Don't come into my forum slinging drama around. It won't be tolerated.

Nuff said on this entire issue.

I highly suggest having a wideband O2 meter installed and running when you start it up. I never like to assume things are tuned well, be it a rom tune or a piggy back that comes "pretuned".
