S13 sr20det Oil return tube...

[roamaver]

I put a t25 back on my blacktop cause the turbo on there (t28) was leaking oil and I was baffled at the fact that the oil return tubes, both the one from the engine and the one on the turbo, weren't point anywhere near eachother and had to make an abomination of hoses and pipes to get it to work. Does anyone have pics of the oil return tube that mounts to the engine and/or the turbo? Lol it's the most confusing thing in the world to me and I'm afraid of driving on my poorly fabricated substitute. Thanks in advance for any pics or info!

If you don't have the stock hard lines you should just get a set of SS woven ones, they're something like $100.

They're 125 for Circuit Sports and 160 for Taka lines. I recommend them. It will make things a lot easier.

Now your dump tube. Which lucky for you I'm pulling my turbo today or Sunday.

I'll take pictures of the drain tube. The drain tube from the turbo is a 5-6 inch long piece of tubing that comes down from the turbo and has a 45ish degree bend in the middle. Then from there is a rubber hose that goes to a Bung on the upper oil pan(I do believe).

Driving on a complicated drain tube can over oil your turbo and "coke" the bearings. Good call.
