Oil lines

[krausean]

Hi, i was thinking of turbocharging my P5. Where do you connect the oil line to feed the turbo? Do i have to drill and tap the block or is there an existing oil feed?

Thanks!

Remove oil pressure sender. Get the correct fitting to go into block. Reconnect the sender and connect the turbo oil line to that fitting.

That takes care of his supply..Now he has to have a return as well.

Then just tap the very top of the oil pan for the return.

Great, thanks guys! I knew about the return but i wasn't sure about the supply to the turbo. One more question now. If I "steal" some of the oil from the oil pressure sender is that going to affect anything else in a bad way?

Thats the ticket. If you go on SpeedCiruit web site they show the T fitting that you can use. It wont affect you oil sensor but I would convert to a oil pressure gauge set up. Plus he sells all the oil lines and fittings you would need.

or for cheaper you can get a smaller oil take-off fitting from tunertoys.com. I use it and its great, little ****** and its compact

I guess tunertoys doesn't ship to Canada though...sucky! No worries i'll find something to work. I work in a machine shop so i could even make my own fitting if i had to.

Thanks for your help everyone!

The oil adapter fitting is the same as honda's use so you should be able to get someplace to ship you one. its the type that has a bspt thread pitch.
