nice job on the return fittings.. However I am worried about the placing of your drain. With it being that low, you will most likely see oil backing up in your drain line as the oil level in the pan is higher than where you placed the drain.

i was thinking about it for a while. it would have been difficult to mount it higher because of the size of the push lock barb i used. it is 5/8" diameter barbs and hose so it would take a half quart of fluid to back up to the turbo. also its being mounted as a top mount so i will have a lot of hose. the oil will have plenty of space to leave the turbo quickly. if i find i'm having problems i'll change th design a little. its a used 14b right now so i don't mind replacing it.


anyway more progress:


i finished the modified ci motorsports oil feed kit with a few extra fittings to incorporate a second fuel pressure sender, restrictor, and of course the feed line to the turbo



i don't think my axles are seated fully. who the heck would decide to have splines on both sides of the axles???? does anyone have pictures of fully seated axle splines? its so much easier when the inner cv joint is bolted to the diff.



i finally set up the clutch cylinder as well. i have to bleed it some more because its not disengaging the clutch with full pedal travel. all my pedals are hooked up now, though.



the car is looking more and more complete every day though!!! rims and coilovers will come when the salt is off the roads.



my board of stuff to install/weld, plumb/wire, and buy. i want to get all this stuff done by next weekend. its looking good since i have monday off from classes that i'll get to spend another 6 or 7 hours working on it.

maybe i'll have it running for the first time in more than a year???
