Oil return line

[larrym]

So while re installing my return line in the new bock I cracked it.... Glad I found it before I installed the motor.


Here are a list of parts I ordered From Russell to make a new line I know there are other vendors and probably cheaper ways but in Canada with freight and duty to deal with I can do this overnight for $80.00 Canadian.

I'll take some pictures once its all together and mocked up on the turbo.

Looking forward to pix. I had a really nice and generous individual that sent me a stock one out of the goodness of their heart. I thought it only right to use it. I hope yours turns out well. I also have a braided flex piece with male threads on each end I bought somewhere along the way. Not sure how it hooks to the turbo. But I think it screws into the block. But it is straight so I'm not sure how it would work. Funny how things are bought/sold with no way they would work without major mods or fab.

[Scoobum]

Exactly why I stay with stock junk. It was engineered to fit.

[larrym]

Yeah I would have used the stocker but it was junk.....

[Scoobum]

Make sure the ID is the same as the stocker.

Thanks Brad from what I have researched -10 is biggest concern after that is to maintain as straight a shot with no 90 degree bends or low spots for oil to collect

[larrym]

The flange will not fit.

Vibrant part# 2849 will I hope the size appears right.

Would have been overnight but the performance warehouse was flooded....
Thats what I get for living in a rain forest.

[larrym]

here is the line mocked up just need the turbo flange its all fittings with 2" of hose.

[larrym]

So finally got it all together made a couple changes, decided a -10AN to 1/2 NPT 45 degree fitting at the block with a straight hose end would fit better.


Worked well good slope and looks clean.


So parts used.
Vibrant # 2849 turbo drain adapter
Russell fittings
660973 -10AN to 1/2 NPT 45degree

If you can take a couple bit better pics so the orientation is more clear, I would put this on my site...might help someone else down the road.  Looks really nice

[larrym]

Thanks for the compliment Steve, figured I would listed the parts and maybe save some one some time down the road.


I know a search has saved me buying things I couldn't use or didn't fit.

Larry, above you said a 45 deg fitting into the block...but, it looks straight to me in the last pictures.  I see a 45 deg fitting at the turbo end

In your parts list, you show two 45's

Is it just the camera angle that makes it look straight at the block?

[larrym]

double posted....

[larrym]

Part of the problem is the color and the angle black in black.

This is threaded into the block its clocked to around 10.5 oclock Russell 660973

I found the straight fitting and 45 hose end moved the line out to far with not as much slope.


This was attached to this fitting 610043



the hose than 610113





I attached this to the turbo Vibrant 2849



No gasket was provided but I have faith the right stuff is the right stuff to use that was my thread sealant at the block as well.


I was careful to ensure everything had slope so oil will not collect, my turbo is a BB unit with a feed restricter over all I'm happy with the install.
