Had to mod the down pipe again. it was too close to the A/C hose.

 

Here's the W/G location on the cross over pipe. It will have an outlet pipe going into a 4" pipe.

Will install the VWG after Funday Sunday.

 

My advice go with a gravity drain back less stuff to wire and route just run a line down to the side of the pan then no worries of pump going out or wire issues

My supercharger is mounted in the same spot just a little lower down and it uses pressurized oil with a restritor just like the turbos do and I have it draining into the pan with zero issues

 

X2 on the gravity drain. Never have to worry about the pump going out. I Just wish mine would STOP leaking.. lol

BTW, I really like the placement of your turbo. I wish the guy that built mine would have listened to me and put it there..

 

Best way it to have an. AN line fitting welded to the pan that's what it did then use. 1/2 line or bigger for drain and zero problems I will post a pick of line on my pan if you need a mounting location that doesn't interfear with the crank or main caps

 

Does yours leak Keith? I took some RTV and coated the male fitting and tightened the female over it and it still leaks.. I'm thinking its coming from where the braided line meets the female AN fitting

 

On the pan I welded a AN bung to it then used a 90 push lock AN fitting with 1/2 trans cooler line on the supercharger it is just a 1/2 nipple zero leaks

For the turbos most of the leakproof setups I hve seen get adapters to use trans cooler hose also it is a lot cheaper and bigger diameter for drains just cover the turbo end of it with heat shielding so it doesn't get hard and crack

I have some heat shielding material for hose if anyone needs it I can bring it Sunday I also have header wrap I will sell and firewall heat shield and flexible turbo wrap also I will donate I will have it Sunday for you turbo guys

 

You have a pic of how you did yours by any chance?

The whole underside of my motor has oil on it.. Its bad

 

this is from under the truck looking up kinda confusing but 1/2 drain line on a barb from charger coming down

 

drain line going back along pan under oil filter

 

fitting on oil pan had AN bung welded to pan to a 90 fitting push and lock style used a clamp for added security

 

another shot of fitting as you can see 100% dry i have zero oil leaks on this truck and love it

 

I have allot of work that still needs to be done. Don't have time to pull the oil pan to weld in a fitting. I'm already cutting it close.

Thanks for the info and pics Keith.

 

I think my braided line is leaking, cause theres no way the AN fitting can be leaking expecially with the RTV on it. I like how you did yours though

Heres mine

Heres the leak

 

In your case I believe the line/fitting connection is you problem these fittings can hold upwards of 800psi so a zero psi drain Deff should not leak at all maybe just change the line out and make sure it's pushed all the way down the fitting ( complete pain in the a**) and you shouldn't have any more leaks there leaks drive me crazy and if anyone with a 2003-2008 hemi needs rear main have one for $20 seal and rear housing assembly assembled

 

I'm thinking the weld could be leaking some too. Maybe? Ill try the line too

 

You could try cleaning the spot removing any rtv you put on it and then spray with brake clean dry and apply jbweld around it like rtv that's what i did prior to welding mine in and it didn't leak then either

 

Thats true too. Or I could just put a couple tacks on and see if that works. Course knowing my limited welding skill ill burn a hole in it lol. And there being oil in the pan ill probably light the thing on fire. Could claim insurance then, hmm lol

Ill try the JB weld or quick steel and see if that solves it

 

Coming along Stu! Can't wait to see more progress.

 

You guys are making it too complicated. I have a female steel coupler welding into the pan with a brass barbed fitting threaded into it. No sign of leakage in 4 years or so.

 

Finish fabricating the turbo manifold today. And start welding up everything.

Don't weld the hood shut...

 

If I can get the will to do it, i'm gonna clean all that rtv off and see where i'm leaking from. I remember when I had the turbo off and the drain capped it was still leaking. So its gotta be a small hole where its welded..

You use gas Stu or flux core?

Stu uses Double Bubble...

 

Flux core. Still fabricating manifold. It has turned out to be a challenge.
