Need Picture Of L20et Sump

[noddle]

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

i just drilled into my sump and used a fitting off the ac compressor as a hose tail.

can get a pic later. was on l24et set up ive got in the shed still

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

Both l20et's i have do not have the oil return going into that location, Looking at the pic go to 2/3rd's back from the front of the engine, where pan is thin, you will see a small bump. Thats where it goes in the factory l20et sump.

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..

EAsly seen here

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,

dont think it matters man, as long as it can drain back to the sump and is above the oil level?
