Hey guys, i ve looked at many different threads of turbo builds and they all show where to tap the oil return line, but none show where to tap for the oil feed in the front cover. Can someone tell me where in the front cover, or where is it that the oil feed needs to be tapped from? thanks in advance

 

racing beat Part Number: 11801 you put between the block and the oil ped its not the front cover but it works grat this is how im doing it on my NA block

 

Thanks alot, the less i have to make the better.

 

by the way are you boosting carb or efi?

 

i just looked at the part on the website and it says that its from engines 71-79, i have an 84. Do you know which one will fit?

 

you can use it but i think you need to change your oil cooler to a front mount and ditch the bee hive.

what size oil supply line are you planing on running??

on my holley blow through (85) i ditched the bee hive and ran a -4 feed with a -10 drain and i have no problems.
altho i think a -8 would have ben fine for the drain

 

i already have a front mount. Where could i get the lines with the fittings? ive searched but all i find is badly made stuff.

 

for the supply and drain i got the line and fitting from " PARKER ' a local supply for hydralic lines. you should be able to order them from jegs or something.

i didnt find the flanges for the turbo so i taped it to 3/8" npt inlet and 1/2" drain

 

sorry this may be a noob question but what does npt stand for?

 

NPT is national pipe thread its more or less tapered, its what seals it up.

for the feed hose that i used was 3 -an steel braided brake line. it cost me like 20 bucks.

im boosting EFI.

 

thanks guys
