OIL LINES FOR A 4.2 TURBO

[minefield]

Hi All ,

I am in the process of fitting a top mounted turbo to my Nissan.

Oil lines; The alternator is oil feed,, Is it possible to put a "t" junction in on the oil feel and take it to the turbo.
and also put a "T" junction on the alternator oil feed return return line .

Or is there somewhere else to take the oil from and for the oil return

I'm sure you use a feed from the block (should be a "blank" fitted) and return directly to the sump?

Hi ,There is a small grub screw between the engine mount bolts ,remove that and take the oil feed from there.its best to take of sump and weld a oil return pipe into that .Cheers

we fitted a turbo kit to a nissan patrol a while ago, we welded a 1/2 BSP welding socket to side of sump, (drained oil first) then using a sharp pry bar, we drove it thru the side of the sump thru the welded socket, creating a hole for the oil to return thru, by driving a sharp bar thru you get no swarf to clean out and you don have to pull the sump of a dirty filthy diesel

We took the one out on exaust side as it allowed for a shorter direct feed up to the turbo .

I'm dammed if I can find the grub screw for the oil, can you give me some idear of where to look

I feel that taking it from the oil presser switch, Not enough oil

I have the return all sorted out thanks to pedro

[monstr]

On the passengers side looking at the engine mount where it bolts onto the block ,at the bottom roughly in the centre there will be a grub screw approx 6mm from memory (allan key) cheers

[minefield]

thanks , monstr and pedro found the 6mm grub screw by the engine mount and have a fitting being welded to the sump tomorrow for the return.

looking forward to seeing how this top mounted RX7 turbo works, Suposed to have 14lbs at 2000rpm fingers crossed

thanks again
