Where are you guys running your oil drain from the ct26 too? I know they are two options, one is to insert a fitting into the oil pan and use that, the other is to remove the block drain for the oil cooler and use that. I believe the block drain is the easiest way to do but would there be any flow problems? ( this came up in the faq) I really don't feel like dropping the oil pan if i dont have too. I just wanna have a lil fun with my n/a till i get my gte back from the machine shop and gather the rest of the electronics for it. How many of you guys use the block drain rather than using the oil pan?

if your gonna do it do it right.
ight no doubt, So using the block drain is a bad idea then? Im just asking cause it was apart of the faq an a alternative to dropping the pain but it was just that it wouldnt flow as good? so no body thats &mge-t is using the block drain as a return like, just the oil pan correct?

Either way you'll need to drop the Pan.

I've drilled a few NA blocks and it's a better solution than using the undersize too low pan fitting. (Pull high G's turning left with a safe 6qt fill you run the risk of blocking the drain and smoking the Turbo)
