Sven is there no way to make that something smoother looks like to many bends.

I think as Sven said, the 45 off the turbo is in order. That will solve it.

45 off the turbo is a must. but ruben this set up I have is working FINE

Are you planning on changing over to a -12 An Sven?

thats what I currently have.

But as I told you on the phone ruben, a 2g drain cut it about 2" before the flex and then get some hose from the turbo to that and it will be good enough.

I bought yesterday a full -12 drain set up from ziggy with 2 45's how do you think that will work?

better then my one straight and 1 45.. i would have perfered 2 45*

Ill take pics once everything is together right now just busy ripping crap out of the engine bay lol did the ac removal yesterday.

Guy at work has a Holset from a 6.7 2500 cummins that he wants to sell, it has an electronics portion on top of it. Not sure if that means that its a Variable vane (and if that makes it useless to the DSM world or not) any one know?

Hey Sven, i think you should get a 45 to replace your 90. It looks like oil could pool up there. I believe i used 2 45s to get the proper angle to my return. I would be happy to send a pic of what i did.

I typed that last night and closed the laptop Looks like you already mentioned that. My bad. The post was updated since i wrote that.

What a hacked drain

I will get pics of mine tonight




Some drain info from Holset:
"Holset permits oil return pipes to decline at an overall angle of not less than 30 degrees below horizontal. All turbocharger applications require a pipe of internal diameter greater than 19 mm which has integrated
connectors. To ensure oil returns into the engine under all operating conditions, the return connection into the engine sump must not be submerged and the outlet flange of the turbocharger must be 50 mm above the maximum oil level of the engine sump pan."

so that 90 is a No-No

So i ended up picking up a bran new Holset hx40 with a billet wheel, and ordered the bep t3 housing from ziggy.

Now its time for a t3 exhaust manifold what do you guys suggest?

Not going with forward facing?

If Punishment Racing ever gets back to me, I might be going with theirs.

If you have better ability to run a spacer, I have a SBX with a 40mm Tial I could sell you

Yea i think the forward facing idea is not going to work anymore.
I have been looking at punishment racing manifold or sls manifold and a 38mm tial wastegate what do you think?

Can't speak from first hand experience on either, but from what I have read all over the forums are as follows:

SLS: top notch product, cheaper than PR, terrible customer service

PR: top notch product, more expensive than PR, good customer service

Both offer a lifetime warranty for the original buyer and both seem to fit holsets really nicely.

It pretty much comes down to - is the customer service worth a few $?

So i am having a little problem with my oil drain line not sure what do do about it any suggestions?

can you not go with a longer piece of hose and just do a little circle?

What do u mean?

No, the oil drops to zero pressure and falls out of the turbo. That's not going to work through a loop. Any obstacle will send it out the seals instead.

Ruben, you could do away with the AN, just use those hose barb fittings and you have a lot more room to play.

i couldn't find a picture to show you what I mean, but what about using smaller fitting and run it like this.

Ok good to know Rob.

What do you think of moving the bung over? something like this ?

To continue what Rob said, that is still downward and straight so that would work.

I can tell that there was a large amount of fun involved with installing the line with the straight AN fittings.

Moving the bung seems to be the better solution so far, but definitely the most work on the bench.

How does this look im just worried its going to interfere with the downpipe?

that looks ok, you just need to make sure that the lowest point is where it is connected to the oil pan and that the oil only goes down

I think i might of figured it out if i add a straight Npt out of the turbo it will give me room to use a hose and the An fitting at the bottom.

Ordered one of these from Ziggy


and it should come out something like this

Comments?

Looks great, About the best I have seen, what was the final tally on parts. Npt barb at turbo and a AN45 at the pan?
