GTX3582R Oil drain line clearance configuration help?
Hello all,
I recently just upgraded from a Turbonetics journal bearing T62 to a GTX3582R Gen 1. My GTX came with a TIAL double V-band turbine housing for inlet/outlet.
But currently my manifold is a T4 styles, therefore I had to buy a T4/Vband turbine housing to keep the existing manifold/wastegate.
Right now I'm in the process of mocking up my oil drain line using a -10 AN configuration.
However, I'm not able to keep the oil feed/drain completely vertical because the oil drain port is being block by the housing... I had also tried clocking the CHRA 15deg to the left or right but still it's not much.
I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this setup?
CHRA is clock vertical for feed/drain
When Oil feed/drain port is vertical, notice the drain port is directly above the flange.
Attempted to clock the CHRA, to have the oil feed/drain at a 15degree.. still having clearance issue.

I had to make a drain pipe out of a flange and suitable diameter stainless tube to fit inside a -10 (or -12? can't remember) hose on mine since i couldn't get a fitting in there. It doesn't see pressure and isnt seen (especially when heat sleeved) so it works fine for me.
As to the clocked 15 degree thing, Garrett actually recommend this to aid convection through the coolant lines when the engine is off (hot water rises) With supply being the low side and exit being the high side. So if you clock it one way or the other to enable your oil drain, just plumb the coolant lines to suit.

By chance do you have any pictures of your Line setup up? Is your oil drain line clocked at angle right after the flange to make it fit?
thanks

Noi dont think i have pics and they wouldnt be that much good to you as its a 12a front cover on a t2 engine in an fb lol.
but turbo placement looks very similar
yeah the tube leaves the flange on a pretty savage angle, and there is a bend in it somewhere too for it to clear everything and maintain a constant downhill direction to the an fitting at the front cover

“pretty savage” is a very good word choice for this oil drain!! Sigh 😔
