Oil Feed Ecotec **Pics** Just making sure :)
Thursday, May 11, 2006 3:44 PM
Are all of these bolts/none of these bolts/or some of these bolts good for the oil feed to the turbo is i unbolt it and use a 12mm X 1.75 to 1/8NPT adapter on it?



If not all but some, can you tell me which ones? Let me kno! Thanks!

PS. If you cant tell from the pic, this is on the driver side... i know this is on another thread, but i wanted to get confirmation from a pic like this instead of people describing the location... thanks ...btw i have an 05 sunfire ecotec

I have used both of the top ones. The one closest to the firewall is easier to use.

nice! Thanks a lot guys!! In the pic i provided i have the arrow pointing to the top right one (away from the firewall) . . . . i suppose it would be easier to use the one on top closer to the firewall! Thanks for the help

When you say "We" mark I hope you loosely mean "This is where Racetech Automotive tapped for oil on my car"

Give credit where it's due bro! Hope you're enjoying the boost.

Full credit goes to Racetech and their crew for the amazing clean install.....0 problems to date.

i got the 1/8th restrictor talked about in the forums I was going to install it somewhere along the line... i was thinking this would be enough to ease the pressure of the oil going to the turbo... TURBO COMES IN WEDNESDAY!! I CANT WAIT!!!

You wanna put the restrictor as close to the turbo as you can.


Re: Oil Feed Ecotec **Pics** Just making sure :)

Once I have my turbo rebuilt, I am thinking of using a restrictor as well... gonna give it a go. I also have my oil tapped right where the fellas from Racetech tapped into MarcEco's head in the picture above...
gets about 1,000 psi oil pressure right now, give or take 960 lbs... the oil likes to sneak by the turbo seals and burn up..

Re: Oil Feed Ecotec **Pics** Just making sure :)

not to mention why bother? feed is a feed. how hard is it to find the oil specs for you turbo (or a decent guess) get a restrictor, start small. then get a guage and step it up in diameter till you get where you need it to be......gassspp could it be that easy
