So some of you probably saw the disaster that I had last night. It got me rethinking my oil system. Right now I’m pulling oil for the turbo off the rear driver side galley plug. It’s a tight fit with the exhaust. I’d like to not put the sender right on the turbo as we’ve seen how that works out. Short of a really custom manifold on the turbo I’m thinking I don’t want my senders there. They were always in the way.
I’m thinking I would like to leave the oil line to the turbo in tact. It’s a solid line with no crazy connections. It begs the question where else can I tap in for the oil senders. I’m planning on remote mounting them somewhere (probably on the firewall) so I need a spot where I can get a fitting in and a hose to.
The factory spot is pretty much a no go with the banks pedestal. I’m using that rear oil galley to feed the turbo. I know there is one behind the oil cooler on the block. I may be able to get a line to it but it will be tight hence why I used the rear most one. I think there is a spot on the oil cooler but I’m not sure which plug it is.
Am I missing any?
