How critical is the draining of the oil from the turbo back to the engine?
For the turbo that is not going to be installed on my car, 'cause you cannot turbo a 914, I'm toying with mounting the turbo either right behind the collector on my header (see second picture...red outline on header, mine is similar to the one in picture....) (a la' Chapman's 3.0 turbo setup with turbo in the back) or use a mandrel bent U bend pipe to locate the turbo up where Ben M (airsix) has his turbo located (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-2-1095059341.jpg) Since the oil going to the turbo is pressurized, shouldn't the oil have no problems getting out of the bearings of the turbo and back to the motor without assistance??

Well, AN 10 is 3/4" and AN 12 is 1". That's pretty big. I don't see any reason to go bigger than the nipple coming out of the turbo housing. Mine took a 5/8" hose, which was also the size of the drain hose in the stock application. As far as hose/connector type - I see no reason to use expensive AN fittings since as you said - the oil return is NOT pressurized. It would look very nice though. -Ben M. |
