hey guys ill be putting my ca in sometime soon, hopefully. Im putting a s15 t28 on the ca but the bolts for the oil drain tube doesnt really line up all that great. I was just wondering if there was anything esle that might fit it or should i just buy a drain tube for the s15 turbo. Also where are some places online that would sell water/coolant inlet and return lines. thanks any comments are appreciated.

I used a 3/8 drive extension and very carefully bent my drain tube and now it lines up perfectly. As for the coolant lines, anything from HERE will work. Please use the search button in the future as this is a frequently asked question. Speaking of which, there is a FAQ at the top of this forum that should address many of your questions. Thank you!

I think he's having trouble lining up the bolt holes with the drain tube holes on the turbo itself... you can either drill out the holes to get them to line up, or buy a new drain tube from here:

The tube looks like this on the turbo:

I hate to link to FA, but we're all 240 enthusiasts here They have an excellent write up on switching an s13 t25 to an s15 t28...
