Get the proper generic drains for that cartridge with the proper bolt hole seperation from MTQ turbos and start again. Make sure you change oil feed restricotrs to the turbo's to. Use about a 1.5mm restrictor as those turbos are known to smoke a little with standard restrictors.

You will need to slot out the standard oil drain to fit the 2860-5. Pita as it doesn't need to go and awfull lot but enough to make you spend a bit of time one the round file - unles you're a lucky bugger with and air file or similar.

I got fussy and trimmed the gasket to fit all pretty.

Cheers

ps my 2860-5 had what looked like oil restrictors fitted when i got them.

yep all slotted out,and they fitted perfect 4 i installed the turbos.but the thing i need to no now is,can i put the oil drainpipes on once the turbos are installed?there bolted up and the oil and water lines are on BUT i forgot the drain back pipes b4 installing.so is it possible to install after the turbos are ion the car....rear drain pipe is ion but the front isnt and its a bitch.....??????????

Haha its funny that everyone is discussing different sized oil returns and restrictors blah blah where i think hes asking is it physically possible to install the front oil drain with the turbos on....

It IS possible if you can manage to do it yourself, but if you cant then its not possible.

From memory its tricky even on the bench cos the lines to the core get in the way...

    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
