Question Oil Drain Back

[ALVAROG1983]

TURBO OIL DRAIN BACK WOULD THIS BE A NO,NO 90 DEGREE FITTING

Should Go A Different Route.

I don't recommend any cast and or sharp bend fittings on any oil drain system. Hose ends are preferred. On a journal bearing turbo, using that type of cast tight bend fitting can cause oil to back up into the cartridge and eventually either flood the chra or blow out the turbos oil seals.
Straight fitting or real hose ends. Nothing cast or sharp bend.

However, DBB turbos are not as bad with this, due to the little amount of oil that passes through them. But I would still never use those types of fittings on any oil drain setup.
Just my O2's worth.

I THOUGHT THE SAME BUT ITS JUST A TOUGH FIT MENT TO RUN A -10 DRAIN BACK I EVEN TRIED A 45 INSTEAD OF A 90 BUT STILL WON'T FIT.

Rotate the center section around where you can use a npt by an fitting in there instead of a 45 or 90.......very simple fix.

Drain Back

Looks good to me.

THE ONLY THING I HAD TO DO IS CLOCK THE TURBO AND SHAVE A LITTLE OF THE EXHAUST HOUSING SO THE AN FITTING WOULD CLEAR WHAT A PAIN I MUST HAVE A TURBO FROM MARS.
