I was talking to the guys at vulcan turbo and they told me what to use to feed my turbo its oil
one of the frost plugs on the back of the block, they told me to use a torex 40 on it, well 1st i broke one, then i used another one and stripped the bolt, now no way of getting it out.
wondering if maybe it was left hand threads and going left was making it tighter instead of lose.
and does anyone have any ideas on how to get it out now that its stripped? or how does everyone else run a oil feed line to their turbo?

thanks

 

That's how I ran mine. I didn't personally do it but I don't think there were any problems when it was done. I believe it's normal threads.

 

righty tighty lefty loosey. i had no probelm taken mine out. took alot of force. thought i was gonna break it but it budged. umm. i went at it from above the engine bay and was twisting the ratchet counter clockwise.

 

as was i, do you know if i can use one of the other ones? or does it have to be the one closest to the passanger side?

 

well, idk. lets just say this. Hahn tells you to use the one closest to the passenger side when you install there turbo kit. so.. idk. im not a car god or anything lol

 

use vice grips. i stripped mine out to but clamped vice grips down and easily got it out

 

Did you come down over the top of the motor or up from inder it?
i cant see down to the plus when looking down over the block and coming up from behind it looks like the heater core? is in the way.

 

under

i took out the passenger side which is wat the garrett kit said to do

 

gonna try it today, and hope for the best.

 

Didn't a guy just run into this problem when he was installing his turbo kit? It's been recent too.

 

No idea?
i dont recall seeing anything.
also one last thing i bought my bulkhead today for my oil pan, but with the hahn kit where do they put the oil drain line to?

 

No, didn't he drill a hole in his block? Either way he stripped a hole he couldn't stop from leaking. This guy just apears to have stripped the bolt and can't get it out. I'm sure were talking about the same build.

 

the frost plug thats pretty much behind the heater core ( i think thats what it is)

Vice Grips Didnt work.
so can i use one of the other ones in the back of the block?
i even tried a t45 and no luck!

 

its a typical allen plug bolt. your talking about the oil gallery plugs (3 of them across the back of the block as well as one on the side and front under the mani being used by your stock sensor. should come right out.

 

can i used anyone of these?

 

you can use any of the three across the back. they are all oil gallery plugs. any of them will give adequate supply

 

perfect thanks
