Turbo oil out let to block question, where is it.

[uvamosk]

would any of you nice SR20DET people be able to post a picture of or expain to me how the oil that leaves the turbo gets back to the oil pan?

I putting a snail on my SR20DE and the little black oil pan is a little to small to weld a bung to.

I was wondering how they do it on the factory SR20det since the DE and DT are almost the exact same.

I just need to figure out a oil return spot and I can put the boost to it..

thanks

Please help squik ^-O

the oil returns back into the block on the DET. Just make sure when you put the oil return on that it is at a sufficient angle for the oil to flow right.

Yeah, well I would have to tap the block wouldn't I?Unless there is some way to get both oil pans off the engine while its still in the car?

Any suggestions

[garagelu]

youre not making too much sense right now. Why the heck would you drill and tap a hole in the block. You dont know whats behind the hole you are drilling. And a block should be left alone. You shouldnt modify it in any way. And what if you screwed up when drilling the block. You only have one chance and if you mess up you have to get a new block.

And why would you need to take both oil pans off? There should be a lower and upper oil pan. Just take the lower oil pan off, drill a hole and weld the oil drain pipe on. Done.

Well, Most of the time your supose to tap the top of the pan so your above the oil level. Or at lest that was my understanding. When I was doing my KAT everyone said tap at the top of the oil pan at the very back.

The block thing came from the fact that the factory spot is on the block for the return. I saw pictures of people taping the block for the oil return. There is a thing that sticks out that you drill out.

As for drilling the lower pan, I was just kinda wondering if I tap the pan that low wouldn't the oil back up into the turbo?

The turbo return is gravity fed into the oil pan and if you tap it that low it wont be able to get into the pan because of the oil pressure being exerted on it from the pan.

I don't know for sure though it is 6:00AM and I just woke up lol.... Thank you for your help though.

Do you have previouse experence with doing this setup?

You see the pipe with the silver heat wrap around it; to the right of the engine mount bracket. That's the oil return line from the turbo to the block.

HIH.

[uvamosk]

That is exactly what i needed. THANK YOU ^_^

So i will drill and tap there...

I cant see very well in the pic but does that just go straight down to the oil pan ?Becuase I figure if i drop both oilpans I can drill that out with out getting metal shavings into the engine.. by having the pans off

[uvamosk]

ALSO how hard is it to get the oil pans off with the engine in the car?

Lower easy as hell. Upper.....You could try and take it out but you are more than likely going to have to unbolt from the engine mounts and try and raise the engine so it will clear the subframe. Prob be allot less hassle to remove the engine since drilling in the engine bay is going to be hell.

[uvamosk]

Yeah, I have to figure something out because pulling the engine out is a no go, I just had it out and I was stupid and didnt drill the hole didnt think about it at all... There is actualy alot of room to drill in, if you pop the steering shaft out... and take the header off..

I am just worried about metal shavings mostly.. so i would need both oil pans off to get them out , so to get the upper pan off I would have to raise the engine?? You cant get it off while the engine is still in

[Bumnah]

subframe runs across it right in the middle. no you can't get the upper pan out.

you can get a drill bit from snap on that drills without getting the shavings in the item you are drilling.

i'd personally pull the pan out to drill. if you're going to turbo a car you might as well pick up an engine hoist so you can pull the motor if/when you blow the motor.

honestly if it's just draining back to the block. just run it down to the bottom oil pan. the important one is the line that supplies your turbo.

[uvamosk]

well, I have researched turboing for a long time, and most everything thing I read says the oil must enter the oil in the engine above the oil level.

I won't blow the motor trust me.

I just put the motor in last week and didnt want to have to pull it all back out to just drill that stupid hole lol.

If I would have thought about it when it was out I would have done it then but forgot nissan made their oil pans a pain in the ***.
