QuestFan Posted September 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 (edited) You could have went with a 45* if you were worried about hitting. What I usually do for an oil drain is to weld on an old turbo oil drain pipe. I was going to do that but I couldnt find the one off my stock turbo. Woulda saved me some $$ I can always return the stuff if I stumble across it. Or if someone could help me out and send me one. I didnt think about it hitting untill I posted those pictures. Then it was a forhead slap. Edited September 28, 2011 by QuestFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underpaidslave Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 (edited) Why are you guys adding oil bung drains? Edited September 29, 2011 by underpaidslave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotStock88 Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Why are you guys adding oil bung drains?because if you use this manifold, it will relocate the turbo too low to use the stock drain into the valve cover. plus the stock drain into the valve cover is not the most ideal, its more common for turbo oil drain tubes to drain to the oil pan.

underpaidslave Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 If oil is getting pumped into the turbo shouldn't it have enough pressure to pump it out the other side, also this whole needing to add an oil bung just makes me wonder wt.... were the Mitsubishi guys thinking its one thing after another with this car...

From my understanding the oil runs down the inside of the t-cover and then it runs over the rubber part of the t-chain tensioner causing it to dry out/rot faster. i too wonder why thye didnt route it back to the pan directly. Indiana did a good write up on this in his b2600 build site. Edited September 29, 2011 by NotStock88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure if you like to blow oil seals, mitsu did the best with what they had. We all learn change adapt upgrade etc....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underpaidslave Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 That's in incredibly lame, does anyone make a t-3 manifold that you don't need to weld a new bung up to the oil pan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha, yea, but said manifold is the reason I am going with the treadstone. Welding a bung on your oil pan is really NOT that hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technology Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Find a spare oil pan and modify it, then do the swap all at once with the new pan. Now you have another spare oil pan to return to stock someday if you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I will really have to do is shorten the DP. But yea if you plan on doin a T3 turbo swap, you better know what you are getting into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
