Hi,

I'm after some internal and external pictures of a L20et sump (front sump),

I need to see if the oil inlet is right angle to the sump or if it's on a angle,

I'm trying to work out how the oil will return back to the sump from the turbo

see pic

hope that helps in some way.

i also welded a hose tail to a mates sump for his set up, but this was fair bit easier to do as both engines were still in the car.

Thank you for the pictures, this shows me how far forward in the pan the fitting is.

Does the fitting go through the sump and stick out inside the sump, or is it flush ?,

the reason I ask, if it's flush the bubbly oil would hang around the outlet and slide down the side of the sump,

if the fitting stuck out (inside the sump), the bubbly oil would drop off into the oils sitting in the bottom of the pan

Much chance you can grab a picture or two ?

both the fittings i made up just sat flush with the sump. mates car is still running yr or so on so must work.

unsure how the factory sumps r set up...

Pretty sure my post above explained that easly enough. But here is a pic

You can just see the oil return on the bottom edge of the exhasut housing..

Ok, this is what I have to work with,

I have 4 different sumps,

the first is my spare L28, the second and third are my original 240K, the fourth and fifth are my other 240, and the last one is my parts MR30, as you can see, the last one has the spot to put the fitting like the above pictures, the other 3 are a few inches deep (shallow part of the pan), so I assume I could put the fitting in that area,

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
