Oil Return Question

[kopp0041]

Ok, that last parts I need to complete my turbo install is for the oil return line. I have the MSP setup I'm putting on my es. I have the oil return outlet and rubber hose like on the MSP's, but I don't know what to do to get it connect to the oil pan. HELP!!! How should I do this and what parts do I need?

On the MSP there is another ring that bolts to the bottom of the engine bay. The NA protege's didnt come with it. It has the fitting already on it. If you look at your setup, and look at an MSP one youll see what I mean. Just go to the dealer and get the part# for it and order it.

I have that (it looks like a flange with a tube sticking out of it with a barb on the end to hold the rubber hose on), but it means tapping and drilling into the bottom of the engine, not the oil pan. Don't know where I can get that done, or how to transport the car there/back once it's done.

That piece attaches to the MBSP (Main Bearing Support Plate) that comes on all MSP's. Another option (if you don't have that MSP fitting) is to get a 1 inch hole saw, and drill a hole in the oil pan, and then get a fitting and seal that sucker good. Read here to give you a good Idea :

Id strongly suggest pulling the oil pan and welding a nut onto the pan fairly close to the top of the pan.You want the oil coming from the turbo to drain above the oil level, other wise the oil will back up into the turbo and blow shaft seals. Ive done several custom turbo setups and everyone that has been simply punched and tapped ends up leaking over time. But if you're extremely pressed I suppose you could punch and tap and just use a good amount of high temp rtv around the hole....
