Hien-eken 10-09-2002, 10:40 PM I know this doesnt work for our cars, but I heard it works for honda's. Is this true? Why wouldn't it work for our cars? The reason I ask is because I took my car back from the shop that worked on my car and that is what they did to my car. I told them that the block needs to be tapped but they tried to reason with me that the tapped oil pan would work. Any comments? kenley_ser 10-09-2002, 10:55 PM The only thing I can think of is that is it easier to pour water from through a hose below the level or is it easier to use the hose and pour it over the top, I just figure that it will flow better because it doesn't have to push oil to enter the pan, also Hondas have really big oil pans, so I think their position in their pan probably as good as positioning ours in the block...just tap it yourself, its very easy I did it twice, don't as why but it was done easily both times..well Good luck and hope I helped and didn't confuse you as I am a very confusing person.. LATER Yellow4g63 10-09-2002, 11:14 PM Because the SR pan is a 2 item deal and not one like a honda. Tapping into the aluminum part would be hard because there isn't much of it to start with. civicdragon 10-10-2002, 12:03 AM Yeah I'd drop the pan to see if they messed it up... then i'd drill the block myself nsracer 10-10-2002, 12:50 PM Originally posted by kenley_ser The only thing I can think of is that is it easier to pour water from through a hose below the level or is it easier to use the hose and pour it over the top, I just figure that it will flow better because it doesn't have to push oil to enter the pan, also Hondas have really big oil pans, so I think their position in their pan probably as good as positioning ours in the block...just tap it yourself, its very easy I did it twice, don't as why but it was done easily both times..well Good luck and hope I helped and didn't confuse you as I am a very confusing person.. LATER This is the reason. You need good flow in and out of the turbo. A submurged return line will not flow as well and WILL kill your bearings in the turbo. kenley_ser 10-10-2002, 05:00 PM Dude you know what you said in one sentence is what I was trying to say in one paragraph, geez all I do is talk...damn:) nsracer 10-10-2002, 06:54 PM Originally posted by kenley_ser Dude you know what you said in one sentence is what I was trying to say in one paragraph, geez all I do is talk...damn:) But you were very descriptive in what you wrote and it was useful :D Ben 10-10-2002, 08:24 PM The SR block has a boss on it to be drilled and tapped for a turbo oil return line. DETs have these already drilled and tapped. I have drilled and tapped this boss on NA SR20's for turbo installs. This is the RIGHT way to do it. hybrid D E T 10-18-2002, 03:11 AM you can see a picture of it here http://www.nissanperformancemag.com/september01/nismoproject.shtml Hien-eken 10-18-2002, 08:49 PM actually, i know exactly where the boss is. unfortunately, the shop that worked on my car didnt. kind of weird how i got charged for drilling and tapping the block...when in reality i just have a line coming out of my oil pan. james vick 10-19-2002, 05:51 AM Yea and the worst thing they reduced from the 1/2 inch oil drain on the t3/t4 to 1/4 inch line at the pan. I'll try to post some pics of this work of art:rolleyes: P11GT 10-19-2002, 05:00 PM Ive done this once before. Its much easier to drill inside outover. Heres (http://www.primeragtp11.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/updates3x.html) a link to some info, hope it helps.

The only step involved with his process versus the way I do it is removing the girdle. I might consider doing it this way... P11GT 10-20-2002, 03:35 PM To be honest, it was just more convienient, as the sumps were removed for the GTiR pistons to go in anyways. I had looked behind the rad, but knew i would have to remove everything there just to get the drill in. All in all, it worked really well. One thing to remember though, theres a lot less mess doing the way i did, and cleaning was easy. | ||
