wheres the post about tapping the ecos block for oil and the part number for the peice cant seem to find it.


"Kick azz is my boost hero!!! "

dont tap...its alot safer and easier to buy the adapter for 1/8th NPT and put it on the drivers side of the head....

In the GM race motor catalog. drill the oil filter housing and tap with a 1/4 NPT with a reducer to a 3/16's line and a Nitrous jet for a flow reducer 52 thousands.
That is the feed of course,

i rather not tap...but its your call..i was on the same page as you Jcavi but once i heard about the fitting and no tapping involved i jumped all over that $h!t. Anyways do it how you want....but if you need help going the safer route feel free to e-mail me if you cant figure it out and ill help ya out.

there is a couple allen plug on the driver side of the head , use 1 of those


you will need a adaptor for it , you can get it from auto meter

oh god I feel stupid. you all have earned yourself the right to digatly bithch slap me. I used the wrong term i didn't mean tap I know that theres is the spot for the oil feed right on the block but last time I saw it I was not ready for it not well read enough on turbos. im preety much at that point now and forgot where to purchase the fiiting at also im a bit confused if it is a direct screw in fitting then how come oil is coming out of it now isnt it just an adapter from metric to a non metric. also does anyone have any install instructions. sorry about the in depth Q but I preety much have everything figured out except a few guage installs and a this. Thanks guys Deeksteer I'll have to shoot you an email soon.


"Kick azz is my boost hero!!! "

you use this same location for the oil feed on the hahn kit install. look on the drivers side of the block... there should be four allen head bolts. Two pairs: one pair is lower, and one is higher. Of the higher pair, I can PROMISE you that there's oil in the forward of the two. Take that bolt out with the correct size allen wrench (it's in there pretty tight), and screw in your fitting/feed line to that hole.

fitting

Its the last one on the bottom. 105-2278 It went down in price like $2.

Its pretty straight foreward to install it. Ill take a picture tommorow.

thanks guys also ive been wondering isn't the oil gravity feed? how would that work if the line is lower than the turbo or is the pressure from the line enough to get it there. because I know that the return is grav. also do you guys use the pan as your retun i mean it seems like the esaist place to drop it.


"Kick azz is my boost hero!!! "

no the return is gravity fed to the block

The hole in the head is engine oil pressure. Probally greater than 50psi (not sure on our engines). It will work fine if the feeed is lower than the turbo. Im using a restrictor between the head and my turbo because there is too much pressure.

you may as well buy a couple of restritors also becuase ecos pump out mega oil pressure....my guage shows 60 PSI at cold start up...could be more ...i had one restrictor at the turbo and notice oil leaking into the compressor housing...had to put another restrictor at the head outlet to fix it.

The restrictors are 2 of these..one on each end like i explained... restrictor ..youll have to drill out the hole to maybe a light 16th-ish with a drill bit.

when you say I have to drill it out what part are you talking about do i have to bore out the hole in the blok.


"Kick azz is my boost hero!!! "

no...if you look at the link that i supplyed you ..youll see a fitting with a Tiny tiny hole at the tip . Its for fuel and nitrous restricting but that hole is Waaay to small for oil and would restrirct your oil pressure too much.....that hole you wanna drill out about a 1/16 th of a inch. The restrictor is 1/8 th NPT on the threaded end and -4an on the tip of it..so your gonna have to use -4 an braided hoseing for your oil feed.

so you buy two of those restrictors....bore the hole on the tip of those two about a 1/16th. so when you put it all together it should go-----

Head-->to M12x1.75 adapter --> to bored out nitrous fuel restrictor ---> -4 an braided hose running to turbo area ---> connected to another bored out nitrous fuel restrictor --> and that is screwed into the oil feed flange on the turbo.

wait why do I need to buy an oil restrictor to go into the turbo if the turbo already has the right fitting. or am I wrong. also you said m 12 x 1.75 adapter is that just the one end of the fitting on that site. also I know this might be asking a bit much but could you possiably take some pics of your set up or any one for that matter I would really apprecaite. Thanks guys.


"Kick azz is my boost hero!!! "

you can buy 2 types of flanges for your turbo inlet. One that has the end on it already like this one here ..which is the one your thinking of..OR the one youll need if you get a restrictor at the turbo also like this one here ..which the restrictor would screw into that.

also you said m 12 x 1.75 adapter is that just the one end of the fitting on that site

yeah...one end of it is M12x1.75 threading that will screw right onto the heads oil passage. The other end of this fitting will be 1/8th NPT so the restrictor would fit right into it. you do those and get a -4 AN braided hose and connect both ends=) Unfortunetly i dont have a camera and would take a while to get some pics if you really need them..=( hope this helps.

you mean these plugs where this stainless line is coming from? link------------------------------------->javascript:ShowImage('http://www.cardomain.com/member_pages/show_image.pl?fg=FFFFFF&bg=000000&migration=1&image=http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images /1/web/421000-421999/421361_54_full.jpg', 575, 461);

errr......?

Probably meant to post this link:

http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/1/web/421000-421999/421361_54_full.jpg

thats exactly how mine is...i bought 2 adapters and put one also to the left of that one where you see the hex plug there also for my oil pressure guage.

wait so I can just get that adapter. great you went and just munsened everything up (yeah king pin). ok so If I go with the adapter that just screws in to the block I can just screw in a 3 an fitting on to that and then run the line to the turbo where I assume that I can screw it directly in to the turbo ethier way it wont need a special fitting right. also and this is ment with no disrespect why didn't you just tell me about that fitting that is just screwed into the block. is it because of the coast since that one is only 2 dollars and the diret fit is something like 19.


Ok so this is what I have come up with so far. I would go with the first here than I would screw in the 3 an line to the turbo (I dont belive there is any adapter from the 3an line to the turbo but if there is it shouldn't be hard)

thanks guys I really apreciate the help this will undobtly be the post I refrence people to when this comes up again.


"Kick azz is my boost hero!!! "

you will need the 2 restrictors for the eco's uber oil pressure. the restrictors take place as the fittings becuase thats all they basicly are..-4 an fittings with a smaller hole for the oil to go through...unfortunitly they only come in -4 AN size..so you will need a -4 an braided hose.

thanks sill new to posting links

ok thanks I think I got it also while Im on the subject what do you guys use to monitor the pressure in the line. I trust my skills with boring out the restictor but just to have a good idea is there a decently priced guage I can hook up to check oil pressure. also what did you guys you to drill out the resctritor. thanks guys.


"Kick azz is my boost hero!!! "

i dont know about the oil gauge ...mine is coming off a seperate passage so it reads engine oil pressure not tht turbos.there are some you can put inline of the braided hose i beleive and that will also act as a oil restrictor too. A turbo doesnt need a whole lot of oil pressure to work securly. I beleive its like 25 PSI is ideal.

also what did you guys you to drill out the resctritor

I used the smallest drill bit i had..dont know the size but when i drill it out the hole, it was about a 1/16th to a heavy 1/16th of a inch in diameter.
