FS: Protege Tapped Windage Tray For Turbo Applications

No. lol.

This replaces your stock windage tray, giving you a fitting to hook up your oil return line to. This is better than the traditional way of tapping to the oil pan and hooking the oil return line to that because you have a chance of backing up oil that way but this way, its impossible to get oil backed up since its above the pan, instead of in it.

Most ppl don't do this though because a windage tray is about $300 or so brand new where as an oil pan is a lot cheaper. To get a windage tray tapped and ready to go for just over $100 is a great deal.

You can run stock or AWR oil pans, it doesn't matter.
Sorry for the dumb question. Well that sounds like it "would" be better set up then the other cheap way, if you still have it by next week Friday(my payday) I'll get it from you:D
 
So here's a possibly very dumb question...
Couldn't you use a sandwich plate above the oil filter that comes tapped for an external oil cooler, but use that to send/receive oil from the turbo instead?
Or keep the oil cooler too, and run from the plate to the turbo to the cooler and back to the plate (or something like that...)
 
You're talking about the plate that screw in between the filter and motor block right?
 
It's not a dumb question actually, cause that how I'm going to run my feed for the turbo. If you use a sandwich plate for oil, it can only be used as a feed because it is under pressure, so if you were to hook a return line to it, oil would go in it, not out it, resulting in two oil feeds which would be a huge disaster.

The return placement has to be somewhere on the motor where the oil is going to be in free fall, and not under pressure. The only area that oil isn't under pressure, is the oil pan and right above it, the windage tray.

The windage on a msp is actually how the oil goes back into the motor stock, it already has a fitting in it for the oil return line. This windage tray doesn't have a tap in the same place as the msp, but it is using the same idea/concept.
 
Just put a "T" on front of your oil pressure sending unit, then use it to feed your turbo with a 3/16" rigid brake line. All the adapters and the T and the line you may have $10 in it. And you wont need to use an orifice because the line is small enough.

If your looking for a remote filter adapter, and a oil/tranny cooler with all the adapters and lines I'm selling mine. Got it from summit.

I mounted the filter on the frame rail by the tranny and it made changing the oil a breeze.
 
I already have the plate so its easier, but if I didn't already have it, I would of used a T
 
According to the pics where is the MSP tray tapped for the oil return? I am going to be running DocB's Oil pump and PRV so I will need a 10 AN fitting on both sides.... any advice?
 
I'm not sure, I've never seen a msp one, I just know its not in the same place. Judging by the stock return line, I'd say it is more inward, towards the fat side.

What exactly do you mean "on both sides" ?

One on the front of the tray for the turbo drain and then one on the back side for Doc's External PRV drain, just below where the filter sits on the back of the block.... My engine bay is gonna be a damn crazy mess of hoses and pipes by the time I'm done!
 
that would be nice to have man i will see if i can come up with the cash flow and get it
