i think ive paid about 150 for my tuning computer. the last one before tis one i got at a really good deal. i only upgraded because i wanted a more versitile laptop with a bit more speed and memory.

 

alright, almost got everything. Is an oil sandwich adapter necessary or is there a different way to get oil to the turbo? besides RRM is there another place I can get a full oil feed/return kit? I'm having a hard time understanding the fitting language on the threads.

 

a/n fittings. You can get from a local home depot or ebay. you can however use the oil sandwich adaptor. Although I have heard from evo owners that it becomes a problem when your lowered.

 

go sandwhich adaper!!! just me I and 03lance our using it, well I think he is if he changed it and it works great!!! plus you can run an oil temp+oil pressure gauge because there are 3 ports you can plug in the 3rd one is your oil line

 

there is also like a 10mm plug just above the oil filter housing that rrm recommends to run an oil feed as well

 

^ JRR do you kno what size fittings are needed for that plug cuz if there are issues with the sandwich adapters on lowered cars imma have issues. i'm low bro.

 

what about the oil fee/return lines? any other options?

 

I myself am using the oil filter sandwich adapter plate, along with oil pressure, it works great!

 

i believe its a -4an fitting for the feed side and the rrm kit had that go to a banjo style fitting for the turbo. i know you can get the fittings and such at summit. i was looking to build my own oil feed hose for my new turbo for the scoob and i wasnt paying no 70+ for just the feed when i can make the hose at work for about 40.

as for the return get a 3/8 npt fitting with a barb on one side and then get like a 1g/2g dsm oil return and cut off the flex joint. buy like 6" of 3/8 oil cooler hose and some hose clamps. wallah you have the rrm oil return....

 

you wont have an issue with your car being lowered bro the oil fiter is still not long enough to go past the bottom of the oil pan

 

I am lowered with the sandwich adapter no problems here

 

Makin me hungry talking about sandwiches.

Slater, check http://www.cheapturbolines.com/ for oil/return lines, maybe you'll find some on there.

 

What is the best spot to tap vaccumr lines to connect a boost gauge, 5th Injector Vac Line . i read up and saw +."vacuum teed off of the line from the brake booster to the intake manifold.

What are your doing

 

That is true. So sandwich adapter it is.

 

I used a 5/8" host barb for my return, and I used the side hex bolt thing for my feed. I think it's actually like, 1/2" bspt, and not npt or whatever. I bought both, and the bspt threaded in MUCH smoother. I also got some stainless steel mesh wrapped hose for my return.

Also, when I took the hex bolt out, it scared the crap outta me thinking something would crack because it was so tight. I eventually just put the bit on the impact, closed my eyes and pulled the trigger....it all worked out fine though.

So, point being, that sandwich is nice, because you can run a temp, and I like that idea.
