N/A-T oil return question !!!!

[MKIIIChucky]

On my block it looks like I have a block off plate where the oil ruturn is on the turbo blocks ... Am i able to use that as a oil return or do i have to go to the oil pan ??? thanks , MKIIIChuckY

You're looking at the NA Cooler port and it's pressurised from the main oil gallery so you can't use it as a return.

soo im guessing that the only way i can go now is welding a bung on the oilpan !!

You can use the stock Cooler return in the side of the pan or you can drill the block in the GTE location.

Yup, I would recommend welding a -10 an bung onto the stock oil cooler return, the original hole is 12x 1.25 mm kinda small, it will work...Maybe.

im praying that itll work, if not ill jus drill to make it bigger

i heard u can use this and do it without taking off the pan

i think ima stick with the orignal plan n just weld a bung into the oilpan , its seems the easiest + i wanna reseal the oilpan & put a new seal on my oilpump!!!

if u ask me i think it would be better to pull the pan off couse u can reseal the pan & put a new seal on the oilpump if needed, + how much that thing coast u can have a bung welded in for that much !!!

Oilpump seal?
