62590, cutsom turbo install!!
Posted by wantturbo, Dec-22-03 02:20 PM
im putting a custom turbo! t3, intercooler,walbro 255 in tank,hks blow off valve,fmu. couple questions though. where do i get the oil feed for the turbo? and where should i put the oil return(what part of the oil tank)and i want to get bigger injectors what size should i get? stock internals!! hoping to run 10-12 pounds of boost!! is it possible to run 12 pounds on stock internals out of a t3 with the extra fuel!! the hrc kit runs 8-10 and thats a slightly larger turbo.. thanks in advance any help appreciated!!

You can get t3 oil line kits on ebay. You should look at a copy of the hahn instructions to see exactly where to tap the oil pan for the return line. I think most guys here who upgrade their injectors usually get 330's. Running that much boost on stock internals is not a good idea. I wouldn't run more than around 6 psi on stock internals, but you can supposedly get away with up to 9psi well tuned. Either way your risking blowing up your engine, so just be prepared for the unexpected.

330s damn why so small why not go bigger so you have soem room to work with later on.. plus you dont want to go over 80 on the duty cycle.. i have 550s and they are near 80 but my af is very conservative..

well yea like they said 12psi is way to much for the 420a...w ith your setup

not sure about you guys, but i got the oil feed from the back of my block near the oil filter.. granted i dont have a 420..

the oil return tap should be at a high point on the oil pan, you dont want oil to be comiong back up into the turbo or getting stuckinside the line

it works off gravity so figure it out

I just said 330's because that's what most people around here seem to get. I perosanly plan on getting 550's for my gsx.

left side of the block with the green socket is where the oil sending unit is. i think you can buy the tee at hahn

10-12 psi on stock internals=bye bye motor

get the tee from any auto parts store. You'll also need an oil sending unit remover socket to put the tee in. Also you need teflon tape. Get 4an s/s braided hoses for the oil you'll need like 3 feet i believe for the feed line and like 1-2 feet for return line. Don't buy the ebay oil kits there too much.
