For those running a TA, Duttweiler type pump.

How did you route the oil lines and incorporate a turbo saver/remote filter.

I don't have an oil pick-up in the pan. I have two ports on the side of the pan. (In/out)

This is an off center stage II block. Not really sure if I need to feed the top of the block either.

Pics would be great too.

From the lower fitting in the pan (pickup) to the "IN" to the pump
That extra unmarked port on the pump needs to be hooked to that fitting in the top of the side of the pan. That's the bypass.
From the "OUT" on the pump, to the in on your remote filter
From the out on your remote filter to the block. It could go in the top front of the block (near thermostat) or the back. It could also go in where the stock oil sending unit went just above the pump, but make sure that is drilled all the way through. I prefer the front top of the block, but the back should be just as good. The side location is a smaller passage, but should work fine.

I'm a little confused, you don't have a pickup in the pan but you have two ports on the side of the pan???

Usually need to run the suction side of the pump to the bottom of the pan/pickup. The pressure side of the TA adapter should go directly to your turbo saver/remote oil filter head. The pressure return from the filter head should go to the external pressure port on the top front of the block. You should also be able to tap off the filter head to supply the turbo. The regulator oil can be dumped to pan through the fuel pump block off plate and provides a little extra lube to the timing set.
Be careful with the TA adapter. It's a nice piece but mine wouldn't work as-is. It is basically a copy of the Dutweiler setup but they forgot to modify the pressure regulator valve like the Dutweiler pump. There should be a radial groove ground in the barrel valve to connect the windows so it doesn't become hydro locked and allows oil to flow properly in certain rotational positions of the valve. Unless they refined there design you may want to look into that.
Also, wait until the block is in the car before routing lines, you will be surprised at the stuff that gets in the way.

I don't have the factory style pick-up is what I meant.

Thanks for the input guys.

Should I put an inline filter between the pan and the IN port of the pump?

Is it better to run the return to the top of the block or to where the fuel pump block-off?

Thanks

You do no want a pleated media type filter because it would be too restrictive to the pump and would kill oil flow.

It would be wise to put a screen in there. But, some of the pickups people install in pans already have a screen (check yours). If you don't have a screen in the pan, Peterson makes some inline scavenge filters that work well. Like turbobitt said, make sure you check this out in the car. It will be hard to fit one of these scavenge filters. http://www.petersonfluidsys.com/filter_scav.html

I had a screw in -12 AN going in the pan that I epoxied in a cone shaped screen. I think it was a Moroso kit including screen and epoxy.

Thanks so much!

 

[turbobitt]

I think I found it. Moroso 23965 kit for putting the screen in the AN fitting. You will need to measure the ID and make sure it's the right one if you decide on this direction.

I always install an in-line filter from the pan to the pump. It is a small mesh filter with -12 inlet and outlet and easily cleaned.

It seems to me the easy route for a return/by-pass is into the side of the pan.

Mike, your TA pump has the most recent mods so you will be fine there.

Also, running an feed from the remote filter to supply the turbo will assure clean oil will always be delivered there!

The pics shown a 180 deg. fitting for the pump supply line and the feed line goes to the filter mounted on the frame rail. A braided line runs from the filter inside the fender then out by the firewall to the oil inlet at the rear of the block.

Thanks TBitt, Mike and Nick. Helps a bunch.
