turbo oil lines....

Is there anywhere I can T in for oil lines?

I dont have an oil sending unit (79 12a) But I do have an oil cooler.... I bet they make a banjo fitting where I can T into that line.... would be awesome...

Thinking about taking this draw-thru turbo off the mustang I just bought (81 cobra 2.3 t) and turboing the 12a..... (got half a turbo manifold by mistake)

It would be a draw thru setup for about two weeks.... then I will return it back to stock.... and put the turbo on my other mustang where it belongs..... and sell the manifolds for the draw-thru....


Just curious as to what to do with the oil lines, everything else is gonna be easy I think...

Any advice I would apprieciate it...

Thanks, Andrew

no one knows?? Am I on my own, any one wish me luck? heh...

Oh well.. Maybe someone might have anyinsight as to what to do... Draw thru sucks, but it will be fun while it lasts.... no need efi pump or $100 regulator or carb hat, or intercooler or bov..... cheaper... for some boost...


Thanks, Laters. Andrew

Buddy you like your answer right now dont you..... You can get and adapter fron Racing beat that goes between your oil filter pedistal and your engine. Comes with new O rings.. bonus! You can also get a drill and tap in to the oil filter pedistal for a cheaper solution. I have and extra pedistal that is already tapped, I'm planning on putting on ebay shortly.
