Turbo drain on 24v swapped E30.

Sweet! What size did you end up going -10 or -12? Does it look like the 45 degree fitting will work where your drain is positioned? Is your fitting just pipe tapped?

Thanks!

Ha. Good timing. No it wasnt for a top mount manifold..... needed like 3 more inches. I JUST did it.

i got a vibrant kit from summit.

its high quality, all -10an. Theres a straight down at the turbo and a 45 at the oil pan. It comes with an aluminum and stainless bungs. Im going to weld mine above the drain plug, as high as i can and still get a good weld. You will have to shave some cooling fins down

Was the 12" included hose long enough?

I did mine 2 spaces forward from that. ground the fins down and had it welded there. I think its a better spot since it will be located closer to directly below the turbo.

So your 2 spaces forward from over the drain plug? R U running the Good and Tight manifold?

I have no problem shaving fins.

Thanks Guys for the help! Cant wait to get this build going!

this is what I did before puting the s50 on my car..





I got a good & tight manifold too, but I haven't installed it, im running s/c before I get everything lol...

Hi Guys,

Can someone with a turboed 24v show me where I should drill my oil pan? Ill be running a top mount Good and Tight manifold.

I am in the middle of my swap, and would like to tap my pan before I install it on the engine. (for obvious reasons)

Did you use a NPT or welded, or bulkhead fitting? Do we need a 90 degree fitting, or will 45 work?

Just looking for some opinions.

Thanks!
