its funny, every thread I have seached about oil feed lines comes back with NOTHING for responses. I guess no one on here knows anything about this?
oil feed line, HELP!!
Hey guys, need some info ASAP.
Drivers side of the head, I had my oil sending unit there for the oil pressure gauge, well I'm taking that out.
My question is, think I can run an oil feed line from there to the turbo? Will there be enough flow? Do not worry about why I am putting it there, just need to know if it would work or not. Also keep in mind I have the DCR oil modifier.
any help would be great!!

HELL NO!! Don't you'll kill your turbo. The dcr oil modifer makes the sending unit no function there so attaching the oil line there would not be a good idea not reiliable use my how to where to place the oil sending unit and used the oil port on the pass side of the blockcanadian_srt4 said:Hey guys, need some info ASAP.

so you think even putting an oil sending unit there is a bad idea? I am a little confused as your DIY shows one in that same location.
There are two ports there. If you HAVE TO use the one closer to the back of the engine on the exhaust side. The one closer to the intake manifold has the oil mod and that RESTRICTS flow. Don't use it. As for flow in general, that is questionable. Your original feedline is twice the size of that port and was made for the job. I'd stick with the Mopar setup.
Sorry i have to ask, so even with the DCR modifier you can still use the one closest to the firewall for a sending unit correct?neonmarine said:There are two ports there.

no my diy has the sending unit in the oil pan.. if you read the whole thing you will see that I never agree with it in the head... also no no no on the head with the oil modifer.. My friend here is having to move his sending unit from the head after he put the oil modifer in the pressure does show accuratly so if the sending unit cannot read it I cannot see you cooling you turbo properly.. why not tell us why you want to put it there so we can help you morecanadian_srt4 said:so you think even putting an oil sending unit there is a bad idea?

Thanks, im going to look and see if i can find the plug now lol
One of the post's in that thread has a link to an image of the plug thats used for the pressure switch.
Thanks for the help, but it really didnt answer if i could still use the hole closes to the turbo if i have the DCR modfierturbojack said:One of the post's in that thread has a link to an image of the plug thats used for the pressure switch.
