Starting tomorrow I am gonna install my custom turbo setup. And my question to you guys is. Do you have to remove the oil pan in order to tap it? or can I just leave it on?
Any help would be greatly appreciated

 

do you wand metal bits floating around inside your motor???


yes, you should be smart and safe by dropping the pan.

 

if you know of a way to punchout that taphole without getting on the inside then SURE

 

Yes drop the pan. Read some of the DIY turbo installs on here. I remember one of them showing an easy way to drop the oil pan without a blow torch. Can I ask what your custom kit consists of?

 

I heard removing the oil pan was the worst part of installing a turbo kit.

 

> Greddy EGT gauge (w/ datalink to remember last known high temp)
> Evo3 Big 16GT.. turbo
> Tial Wastegate 38mm
> Dump Tube
> Blitz BOV
> TRD Boost gauge ( reads:: 20 - 10)
> Precision intercooler (<----fat @$$ one might i add)
>Apex-i SAFC 2
> TUry'z Concept FPR turbo bumper
- only one in the WORLD!!!!!
- custom fitted to allow room for the intercooler pipes..

 

Thats what I heard can you put a huge strong magnet up to it while drilling to prevent the metal shavings from falling in? Then some how try to get them out

 

LOL, good luck with that. A magnet will not get all of the particles. Just drop the oil pan and do it right.

 

Cool man. Do you have any links with a how to for droping the oil pan.

 

Here you go buddy.

Sweet. thanx man

 

yea no prob. Good luck with the custom kit and please post pics when youre done

 

shiet, post pics now xP

 

Dont worry guys I'll definatley keep everyone posted. Man Im so excited.

 

Do it the hard way. But.

I punched it, greased the tap, tapped it , then ran a few quarts of cheap oil through.

 

a magnet will only attarct ferrous metals.

the block you would be tapping is non-ferrous...a magnet will not do anything for you.

 

Dont tap the block. My kit came with a adaptor that converted you to where u want to be.

 

^^^^ was that for oil feed and return???

 

Oil feed.

 

i don't think the feed is what is being addressed here...

what did you do for your oil return??
