Any suggestions on oil return line?

[TNT15]

I'm assembling the motor and the oil return line angles are causing the line to kink. Does this look like it is right or have I missed something in the assembly? The stock return looks like it can flow a lot more oil so I'm concerned about the flow from this kit and considering going with the stock return. Any suggestions??

did you get that from stinger? if so, call em up and see if you can can exchange for the larger flex line size. if not, get a stock crinkle line, or acquire a different line, that one will do nothing but blow oil outta the CHRA.

I don't remember but I think it was Stinger. The first place I bought it online refunded the paypal payment and sent the stinger link. Have you seen a larger kit? This one had all the fittings but with it installed it is a fight to get them on straight. That is as close as I could get to a straight shot and as you can tell it still kinks slightly. As it is the bend will restrict flow but I wasn't sure if it would be to restrictive. The fittings and line are about half the size of the stock return line. Thanks for the help.

I went back to the stock drain...You could go right to the pan. You'd have to pull it back off.

Don't use that one. It will not drain with that kink. Tried that one myself. Still own it as a paperweight. I am still not convienced it would drain if it was straight. The diameter of the tube/hose is too small. It is much easier to switch it out now with the motor out of the car, I was not so fortunate. Do your self a favor and find a stock return line. My .02!

Ditto, just did a swap out of the turbo, and stuck with the stock line. No problems what so ever.

Yep going back to the stock return. Can't risk it and don't want to have to do it after the motor is back in.

I have the stinger return line on mine, what a pain to install. Could this be the reason my vam hose is full of oil and the car spits and stutters between 10 and 12 pounds of boost.

Anyone?

Nice engine.....btw, is that permatex between the exhaust manifold flange and the turbo? Looks like the same on the turbo exhaust flange. Wasn't aware permatex made anything that would stand up to the high temps.

Thanks, and yes it is. I think it makes assembly easier holding the gaskets in place. I don't think anything will hold up the the temperatures that the turbo will produce. That is specific to exhaust gaskets and won't hurt the sensors as it burns off.

nice lookng engine. now only if that deadbeat vender shipped all the stainless lines you would have had it back together already.
(It shipped today).

Thanks I got the shipping information on email. That didn't hold me up at all. I appreciate the fast response and support from you guys. Hopefully I will get this project on the road some day soon.
