Cant seem to find any info. Bought a pwerks block gen 3 88mm. Wisecos, zzp rods, LNF crank from my old motor and LNF head also going for the 2.1L. There is no oil drain for the turbo so I made one. I'm guessing this is a LEA? Block casting says 12592995, 2011-2017 2.4. where do I get the oil feed from? I have the plug on the end of the head for the galley? Is there enough pressure in the galley to make it to the turbo,
or T off the oil pressure sensor? Will the oil from there make it to the turbo going around the block?
You do not want to take oil from the head to supply for the turbo since it is restricted. You want to drill and tap into one of the oil galley on the block. My gen 3 block is tapped right before the oil restrictor on the block
Same spot where the flat portion is that was on the LNF block? Just straight through and tap or weld on a fitting? Not questioning you but realistically with a BB turbo the end part of the head that bad? Pwerks replied that it's fine there.
The oil galley is an inch to the left of your finger in that pic. There was a thread on here years back of a guy who blew up 1 or 2 turbos having it fed from the head.
I've read a lot of posts over the past few days. I believe he blew them from using the fitting right next to the oil filter housing. Have yet to read one of someone using the head. But pwerks is saying it fine and your saying not to use it. I'm just trying to make sure I do the right thing and don't pick the wrong spot. So your saying slowly, use grease or a magnet or vacuum and drill into here?
Zzp says I could T off or delete the oil pressure switch. Isn't it just a dummy light? It seems like a long run of line. Pwerks said I could use the port under the exhaust cam. Hearing both. Don't want to smoke the turbo. It is a BB tho.
