Yep, that drain line looks great actually, shouldn't have any issues.

Is that 5/8"?

 

Well ,my biggest concern is the drain for the turbo, i won't know until i start it if oil is backing up into it. I spent alot of time thinking about that after Sentry had issues. But i really don't have alot of choices due to how low the turbo is. The drain line is only -8 an, I thought it was -10 when i ordered it from vulcan but that is all he sells. Originally this turbo had the same size drain on it, so i don't think that will be an issue. It has a restrictor in the feed side so the oil pressure should be very low, so hopefully no issues. Thanks for looking guys, i will update as i go. Shouldn't be to long though.

 

Yep, I thought mine was good, but it was way too small. I have a feeling I've got insane oil psi going to the turbo. I replaced my lines with 5/8" and yesterday I cranked it with no smoke at all. Before, it was burning the oil up in the turbo because it was backed up.

Got a couple of leaks still, but hopefully I'm about done. Good luck with yours.

By the way, did you use RTV on your oil flanges? What kind of sealant is that?

 

Using GM pipe sealant, good for oil or coolant, i also used some gm gasket sealer on the inside of the pan fitting just to be sure. What size was the line you used before? I was kinda aggrevated when i realized i only had -8 line, but i didn't pay attention when i ordered, so my fault i guess. BUT i do have a restrictor in my turbo so that should help, and with such a short path to get to the pan i don't think i will have a problem...

Got my injector harness today, gm harness from an 04 cavi, works perfectly. Gm stg 2 injectors, have to put them in yet, hope i don't have the fit issues like you did,lol.... Mine's an 05 and we have a different fuel rail, so it should work out also...

 

I just saw the turbo thread link pop up and saw my original post, i thought i had updated the thread, just wanted to say it's been completed and running strong on 10lbs of boost for quite some time, no issues to speak of...

awesome you ever get vidz of one of the sickest 2.2s on the site lol

Full turbo back 3" Exhaust, Yes it's crush bent, but it flow fine for what i'm doing...

 

what size piping is your intake? and do you have any trouble with it rubbing on anything?

 

I think it's 2.5, it doesn't rub at all, i had to play around with the piping to get it just right but it's been great...
