Turbo oil drain

[Korky]

What's the best way to get a drain in whilst using a ph1 drive shaft, just run a threaded an10 90 degree bend and tap the sump? Ideally I want the drain vertically below the turbo?

Or is it necessary I run a 182 shaft?

Mine just has a straight fitting in the sump and then a hose slid over it to the turbo, no sharp bends and a nice simple path for the oil to take.

Do you have picture mate?
Cheers for the quick reply, going to buy the fittings today and just making sure I get everything correct

No sorry, havent ever had any reason to take a picture of it and am not near the car currently to do so, there really isnt much to see though, just a hole in the sump and a hitting in it.

Mines directly on the back of the block putting it in line with the starter but on the other side of the block. It was done by ktec not got any pictures though sorry.

The sump isnt really think enough to just tap and expect it to hold, so instead you will normally put a nut on the inside.

Anymore details on this 90 degree fitting to sump? Not the gold feed, already got that.

Ktec supplied it with there older kit, iirc it's just a household plumbing union, and you can tap directly into the sump without any issues as its not under any stress.

Thanks. Thought it looked a bit Plumb Center lol

I'm going to do what's on the second pic but get a weld on an10 fitting. Your drain should have a free flow into the sump but I found the level of the sump to be slightly higher if you return to sump so trying something different this time.
