1.6 Turbo Oil Feed ?

Postby Fergus » Mon, 18 Feb 2013 7:23 +0000

On the second 1.6 engine I have there is no oil feed port down under the exhaust manifold.
Where do I get the oil feed from now ?

You could T into the oil pressure sender on the other side of the block or get an oil filter sandwich plate with a port in it (altho... that would be prefilter oil).

Thanks Steve, where abouts on the other side of the block is it ? Near the starter motor area ?
Or is it next to/near the oil filter ?

Thanks !
I saw this today when I was stripping the engine that's in the car (I've Micheal Jackson hands now with all the bandaids from working at the back of the block :mrgreen: ).
I think the engine I'm putting in is a '96, it's Jap import and was refurbed in the UK (and ported by me :mrgreen: ), got at least an extra 20-30BHP in it as standard for some reason.

(edit) Oh Gawd, I have to deal with Begi again ?? :shock:
