I have Tim's log style manifold with T3 super 60 turbo.



I need to know the length of the oil drain (return) line, so that I can custom order return line from ATPturbo.com.

Mock it up and measure? It should have some slack but not too much so that it swings around.

doode, u seriously need to stop making a thread for EVERY single question. and you need to look into it first, so you dont ask questions that no one can answer...

your oil return line depends on a few things...
a) where you tap your oil pan
b) which turbo, some will be a lil different
c) and location of your turbo.. which is dependant on your manifold

what i did was get 2 -10AN 90 deg fittings.. 45 degree would be better, and i rotated them to kinda point towards eachother, and measure what the line would be.. i did this, so i would have as much hard line as possible to prevent kinks, or any possibility of the oil drain being blocked.. so far its working out great, took the turbo out, after about 2k miles, and still has NO shaft play, no oil leaking, etc.

when i turbo charge a car i use less then 3" of hose,some use 12" of hose...

btw, you def. need oil resitant hose,so hardware store won't have it (same goes for most autoparts)
