i need to get the pan off so i can get it to a machine shop to get it tapped and welded so i dont see just flushing it with oil being an option.

 

I wouldn't trust just flushing it, you still run the risk of metal shavings in your motor.

 

i wasnt planning on it.

 

your ognn have a machine shop do it? its really not that hard to do
when your tapping it you only go in like a little bit wiht the tap cause its tapered that prolly why everyones lines are leaking (going in to far with the 3/8 NPT tap)
and just flushing the pan with oil IS NOT an option you will not get every single burr out of the pan
and there is a spot were a flat head screw driver fits in between the pan and the block in the front by the tranny

 

i dont thnk i can tap it myslef i since i didnt quite follow what you even said. the shop probably wont charge me much at all anyway.

the space you are talking about taht can fit a flatehead in, is that a space that would allow the screwdriver wedge in vertically instead of horizontally?

 

is this a rrm turbo? and if so didn't they send you an intruction manual?

 

What about going into the valve cover? less chance of leakage and road debris hitting it

 

yes it is a rrm non IC kit i bought used from another member. i had to prder the instructions from rrm but they dont really say, they arent as comprehensive as theyd like ppl to believe.

 

not a good idea imo. the line doesnt have pressure in it so it uses gravity to return the oil to the pan. if i connect it to the valve cover then the oil would be able to flow.

 

Theres definately pressure in it, How do you think it gets to the turbo. I saw them run it there on HP TV. I think thats the route I'm going.

 

it doent get to the turbo, it isnt the feed line. its the return line.

 

Not to sound like a di**, but if theres pressure going in it has to come out with pressure. It doesn't dribble out.

 

there isnt a large amount of pressure going out, thats why it isnt a steel braided line.

 

did you ever get it done?

 

its at teh shop right now bc i broke a bolt off in the oil pan. they couldnt get it of either so instead of taking the oil pan off they jsut drilled into the oil pan and put a gasket on it to keep teh oil from leaking. its out in he parking lot right now and all i need to do is wire the fan, fill it with oil, and reattach teh exhaust. im hoping no problems come up.
