Default Need advice on quick NA-T conversion - oil lines - 1st Gen GS300

So I have the parts I need...well, most of them I need to know where most of you run your oil supply and return lines. I see a place on the oil pan where I can drill and either pipe thread a 10 AN fitting, or weld on an aluminum 10AN fitting. And for the oil supply line, I guess run a line all the way from the oil sending unit? Seems kinda far.

What do the NA-T kits come with. How do they do the oil lines? Max time I have is about 8 hours to get this done. Intake an exhaust is no problem, just worried about the oil lines.

Cool

There's a spot on te block , very thin metal, you have to carefully drill it out and tap it. Look on a GTE block it's in the same location.

You should weld on the return fitting to the highest point on your oil pan.

As for the oil feed, why dont you get a sandwhich adapter inbetween your oil filter. So you can run one line to the oil feed and one for an oil pressure gauge.

Yeah, I don't think so. I would rather keep my motor running a little longer. I do have another motor I will be putting in after I rebuild it...that one I will drill out, but then I can clean the oil passages.

not sure why this was moved. It has to do with forced induction. But hey. Anyway, got it figured out, thanks for your help guys.

sorry, I was talking about the thread being moved out of the forced induction section. I have actually completed my NA-T swap. I put a writup over in the forced induction section
