Thats a funky title up there on this thread. Im planning out how to provide an oil return for a bottom turbo without punching the pan. It seems like even at its highest point the pan may have oil up to that point, making drainage difficult (?). Has anyone ever used some sort of scavenging pump to possibly pump the oil from both turbos back into the factory return port?

 

They have oil return pumps simular to what STS turbo kits use. They can be found for about $125 for just the pump and you will need relay, wire, fittings, check valve, ect. Is the bottom turbo's drain higher than the oil level in the pan?

 

I've read where guys just put a T in the existing drain and tied both turbos into that.

 

Mike, it's not that hard to put the drain into the pan, other than pulling the pan itself. If you can find a pan, I can show you exactly where to put it, and you can have it prebuilt for when your ready.

 

pm dodgetrucker75he just tackled that problem 2 days ago he might have pics too

 

Just put it in the pan. A pump system is way too complicated for something that gravity will take care of for free.

And yes, I know it's a pain to pull the pan.

Edit: put it here. Not a single problem in maybe 5k miles so far? I haven't been paying attention as the miles on my truck rack up.

 

What did it take to get the pan out?

 

he probally had to lift the engine up as high as he could thats what my causin did to get his out but if you look in the background and see all the parts he might of had the engine out.

 

Unbolt the engine mounts, get out the engine hoist, lift it 'til the hoist starts making funny sounds, then pull it. Watch your hands around the mounts, though!

 

Did you do it with the tranny in?

 

Yup, it's a tight fit but you can wedge it out.
