went single and stuck
 

I am on the home stretch of finishing my 7 after 3 years. I am having problems with the oil drain from the turbo to the extended drain piece to the engine. from the bottom of the turbo that hook up drain part is good it is just the end of the braided line what end should i use and gasket to hook up to the extender that goes to the block? Also I am using -10an line and it seems small compared to the extenders hole width. am i missing something? Yes I am semi freaking out cuz I would love to hear her run again and being this close is killing me softly. being in the middle of North Dakota does not help any as well. i am only one of barely a hand full of people with some knowledge of an Rx7. any help with part numbers or sites with products would help much. thank you.

Pics of these parts would help. I'm not totally grasping what you're dealing with.

I used this welded onto the piece from the block you are talking about. With #10 hose and push lock fittings.

This is into the front oil drain to the block.

that is the front of the engine. that extender that is there from factory and i want to plug into that. or should i see if I can delete that and go straight to the block. just can't see that far to see if this will line up properly.

I deleted the extension piece and use a 2-bolt 1/2" npt turbo oil drain fitting on the block with a 1/2" to -10an 45 degree fitting.

You can also use a dremel and grind on the hole the bolts go thru to get the fitting seated correctly.

You can delete that extender and bolt directly up to the front cover.

I am looking at it and i tried to get mine to fit on but will no go. did you remove that bolt to get it on. mine does not get past that. or did you order that or custom make it?

[QUOTE=MazdaAspec;12068402]I had to grind mine down to have the an10 fitting go on.

Sorry for being gone for 3 days, my wife went into labor so that fun just happened. hmm. after looking at both pics of the front engine oil drain i see one of them have both bolts cut down and the other looks like it it was installed fresh before the bolt i have an issue with was installed. plus my engine is still in the car and not on a stand.

Remove the bolt in the corner of the front cover and install a bolt that is slightly shorter without a washer. That will give you more clearance.

we made a bracket between the 2 to make it work. so now have to wait to start car. but another issue has me confused. making new discussion for it.
