yup..regardless of what head you put on the GE block, it still needs to be drilled for the return line.

Reviving an Old thread. Question about the oil lines, Im not sure if its the Feed Or return line but Im planning on running the stock twins until I can afford a single setup. Now if I use a GE block is there going to be those two oil lines going into the block for the twins?

In the pic, Im pointing out to a union bolt, theres two of em. One going to each turbo. I understand that I need the oil line to the pan, Im gonna be reusing the GTE oil pan which has the hole for the oil line. Does the GE block have these 2 holes on the block for the twins?

I dont think the GE block has any external oil ports. You will need to tap the union bolt for the feed line or to make it easier for 2 feeds, just use a oil filter sandwich plate that has multiple ports on it with 2 separate feed lines, and for the drains, you will more than likely need to make custom return lines going to the GTE pan.

I really hope that made sense..

Makes a lot of sense. The line Im pointing in the picture above, those are feed lines?

Where can I get a oil filter sandwich filter that will fit a GE?

as far as I know, yes those are feed lines. I can go and check my my spare 1JZ tomorrow to confirm and see how its setup with the single turbo.

as for the sandwich plate, I have one from my 2JZ I can sell to you if anyone can confirm the threads are the same for the oil filters.

I take it, this is not the block your using. Maybe a borrowed pic?

Its my pic. And no, I cant use the block. It has a crack so Im still determining about a 1.5 cause GE blocks are so inexpensive. But Im still confused and need to research more.
