Fsde turbo oil ports

[JDMazdaFamilia]

Is there ports for oil feed and return line on the Fsde block or do they need to go on oil pan & T'd off from another oil source? Also would it make a difference if the block is regular protege or msp? Thanks

Main bearing plate right above the msp's oil pan has a machined port for a factory oil line to go

You could get an oil filter sandwhich plate and run a line off of there and tap into the oil pan for the other line

 

[JDMazdaFamilia]

Is that factory port for a feed line or drain?

 

[pbarton14]

Its for a feed line , but what dedidah said an oil sandwich would probably be the easiest to get and cheapest solution.

 

[JDMazdaFamilia]

I've never known what the purpose of an oil sandwich plate is where does it hook up to?

 

[pbarton14]

you put it where the oil filter goes and then screw the oil filter on

Why not just use the oil pressure sensor port with a tee for the feed and drain to the main bearing plate?

 

[JDMazdaFamilia]

^that sounds pretty good is anyone running that? I have a tapped oil pan but if there's a way to drain above the oil pan i think that'd be better

 

[Jedidiah55]

Oil sandwich plate serves a few purposes
Oil line tap, you can attach sender unit like oil pressure and temp and you can change the thread to use different filters

 

[JDMazdaFamilia]

Oh I see. Does anyone know the thread pitch or have a link to the fitting id need for the oil port by the bearing plate? I also just realized that if that port is a feed port it could not work as a drain port like dacquesta1 said because that port is on the pressurized side. So then do stock MSP's drain into the oil pan?

One of the issues with a sandwich plate is sending unfiltered oil into your turbo feed. It usually isn't a concern unless you have a freshly rebuilt motor where there may be metal leftover from the machine shop. My feed is tapped from the oil pressure sender on my Honda for this reason
