Doubt it. I wouldnt risk it personally, wrecking a turbo becuase you took a shortcut with the oil system seems a little silly. What is the trouble with welding a pipe into the sump like everyone else does?

Where did you take the oil feed for your EL turbo from?

any chance the dipstick theory is going to work ?

By Glenn Biscan (211.30.144.154) on Sunday, March 20, 2005 - 03:57 am:

just a question as to where i can put my oil return line from the turbo

i dont want 2 cut any holes in the sump @ this stage. Is there any chance that i can run the oil return hose to the dipstick tube with a hoseclamp on it ?

also is running a t piece off the oil pressure sensor going to provide enough oil pressure to to turbo ?

thanks for your help

well it should be on soon so i will let u know how it goes

i have been told it spools up pretty quick for an old turbo so mayb thats the reason why

Thats a good point, that has to be the slimmest centre section ive ever seen!

wheres the rest of the turbo? i only see two snails.

By Glenn Biscan (211.30.144.154) on Monday, March 14, 2005 - 10:32 pm:

the studs that are holding the turbo will be removed ( 2 nuts 2gether and then undo ) and just put 4 bolts in so they dont need to be as high

then i can put my adaptor on and will all be good

hopefully i will get some pics up for you soon

Oh, ok that makes sense. Thanks

By Glenn Biscan (211.30.144.154) on Monday, March 14, 2005 - 08:37 pm:

im not actually going to raise it more than that, just slightly move it around on the spot about 15 degrees

By Jarcaf (Jarcaf) (207.55.238.216) on Monday, March 14, 2005 - 08:17 pm:

sry...what I meant was does the carb clear the dizzy the way it's sitting right now in the pic and only contacts when tightened down all the way, or do you still have to raise it up more than is shown?

By Glenn Biscan (211.30.144.154) on Monday, March 14, 2005 - 12:40 am:

yeah turbo clears the bonnet

the reason the adaptor is being made is to clear the dizzy

the carby is right in its path @ the moment

By Jarcaf (Jarcaf) (207.55.238.216) on Sunday, March 13, 2005 - 10:29 pm:

Will the turbo clear the hood when it's that high? Looks like you could also cut and reweld that adaptor to the carb at an angle from what it looks like at this point of view. Do the dizzy cap & plug wires clear the carb the way it is pictured?

By Glenn Biscan (211.30.144.154) on Sunday, March 13, 2005 - 09:25 pm:

its already been ported out on the actual manifold

thats just the test manifold to get everything to fit up on

By Don (63.135.201.166) on Sunday, March 13, 2005 - 09:24 pm:

Hey you see that manifold? The one the turbo is sitting on? Get rid of the divider between the carb bores. Your going to be pushing a whole mess of air though the same two little holes... Make it one medium hole and guaranteed more power with less boost.

By Glenn Biscan (211.30.144.154) on Sunday, March 13, 2005 - 09:14 pm:

i need to get a small braket made for the intake manifold to the turbo so it doesnt hit the dizzy but it looks pretty mean as far as im concernd hehehe

EC i a canadian motor so finding specs on it will be hard. it's basically the same motor as the ED but without the CVCC ports

By Glenn Biscan (211.30.144.154) on Sunday, March 13, 2005 - 10:37 am:

put the turbo together last night... and hooked up the carby

all that needs to be done is a small adaptor onto the intake manifold so the carby clears the dizzy and then run the oil lines. other than that i cant see it being a problem

cant wait to see this little setup work

how much power does the EC motor make standard ?

By Glenn Biscan (211.30.144.154) on Friday, March 11, 2005 - 03:43 pm:

How strong is the EC motor out of the wagon ?

i have a severe exhaust leak, but have a complete 3" mandrel bent system from my old turbo civic

i was wondering if i put the draw through carby turbo on low boost would it work well enough round the street without much loss of engine life ?

external wastegate is set @ 8psi so that should be plenty for a mild street setup

the motor has a rebuilt top end and is 85 000 k's old

thanks for your help
