oil return line from turbo

[Pappu1]

is this under hi pressure

swapped turbo and finding the newer one is sitting a bit higher than the old

basically the oil return line is just slotted in the return pipe..jussssttt slotted = say maybe 5-6mm or so inside the return pipe

usually the pipe lookes to be slotted like 20mm i think from the size of the indents on the line..

---> does turbo move independantly off the return pipe so can it move/jump out off the drain pipe if the turbo twists clockwise (clockwise looking from the front of engine) when powering/reving up

thoughts on that plz..

is it ok

if not what ppl have done etc..

thanks in adv...

It shouldn't be under pressure but you don't want it leaking as other wise you can run out of oil and that not ideal ;D

Duct tape bro. its aaaaaaal good haha

[driftrex]

Why not just buy some hose and make a longer return hose?

[Pappu1]

Will see if can replace the hose

Gah more things unplanned popps up lol

[smokn4]

hahahaha ive got a similar issue

[WRXONP]

nope return hose is not under pressure - is flowing alot of oil though - the oil feed is small with a restrictor which makes the pressure - the oil return is like 5x larger hence no pressure just flow

buy a new hose simple - this for your uber chinese turbo?

[Pappu1]

Hose - u mean the return hose that the metal fitting from the turbo sits in ya??

Hopefully not too hRd to replace that hose.... U done it before?

The very same turbo bro Hahah

Altho let's not start another what turbo is good debate

Maybe another thread for that ay

[WRXONP]

what u mean ? theres the oil return pipe with the flange which bolts to turbo - then a rubber hose connects that to the oil drain on the engine it self - arent u talking about the rubber hose connecting the 2 metal pipes?

[Pappu1]

Yea that one

Ok so the flange bolts to the turbo and then it plugs into a rubber hose

The flange pile has like approx 20mm length which sits inside the hose

The new setup sits abt 5-6pm

Looks snug but the worry was if it Wud twist out if rev engine

From above seems won't......?...

[WRXONP]

the turbo shouldnt move in relation to the block as it should have brackets - you will find if u havent changed hose - cut hose - that its probably slid down the lower steel pipe - u can probably slide it up more even so it has equal amount on each metal pipe if u understand?

the pipe is a pain in the arse to replace lol. i hated puttting the return line back on mine

[WRXONP]

theres a nack to doing it - i find it ALLOT easier replacing the crap factory clamps with real clamps - i clamp it firmly to the turbos pipe where i want it - before putting the turbo right on line up the oil drain so the drain hose slides on and once shes on bolt the turbo down - do up lower clamp

my way of doing it and never had a problem and wasnt a cunt to do

[Pappu1]

But how to clamp once turbo in place

No space for tools to reach under turbo man

Unles u have a proper way I don't know of lol

I'm sure I wudnt know all of the tips and tricks

[WRXONP]

i could get acces to both clamps with turbo still on - downpipe removed

[WRXONP]

u have proper clamps on or those crap stock wire ones?

yea agreed i cant get any tools in once the turbo is on. pain in the arse

[Pappu1]

The stock one lol

How did u tighten non stock clamp once put turbo on?

Lol the stock one in fact makes next to no difference lol

Rather weak at best

[WRXONP]

i said i put proper clamps on if u read

Hahah u got them magic fingers bro

I will have another nosey

Btw the return hose where the drain pile slides into- the other side is it clampd on metal pipe or just also slide on

I will Try pulling it a bit up I suppose

[WRXONP]

they have a clamp on each side stock but the clamps are useless really

[Pappu1]

issue resolved

the drain hose had slipped a bit further down than usual

removed and reinstalled the hose and all good...

thasnk for the adv guys

[WRXONP]

thats what i said mate lol
