I think i get the whole idea of how a turbo is installed and everything, im just not sure about the Oil Return Line (i think thats what the line between the oil pan and the turbo is called, so correct me if im wrong). Anyway, do you guys got a link explaining it, or maybe a link to another thread that i missed while searching for this topic?

 

What do you need to know?

There are 2 lines, one that feeds the oil to the turbo and one that drains the oil back into the oil pan. There is nothing advanced or complicated about it at all.

 

Well i just didnt have any idea about it at all. Where do you run the line that feeds the oil?

 

underneith the intake manifold there is a silver sensor right next to your oil filter, that is were you t-tap for your oil supply, but the oil return is just a hose gravity fead from the bottom of the turbo to a fitting tapped into the oil pan

 

Exactly what i needed to know riceburner Yeah i wasnt so sure about how the oil return line worked (gravity/pump/etc) but you answered that for me. Thanks alot guys

 

any chance that somebody has a picture of this? im thinking of going turbo in the next few months, and the only problem i think i will run into is the oil feed line

 

Helpfull hint: It's best to have the least amount of bend possible in your return line to ensure efficiency.

 

Unless you have a BMW M3 (E36) Turbo... In that case you are screwed

 

what does that have to do with anything? This IS a Civic forum, you realize that right?
