.....where to find those nifty sandwich adaptors that sit between your oil filter and the engine block to hook up an oil feedline? I'm slowly amassing parts to turbo my 2nd gen....though I'm looking into trying to find JDM U11 Maxima Legran Turbo parts first before resorting to using this. Any help would be great.

Thanks!

Something like this http://www.jegs.com/cgi-bin/ncommerc...93&prmenbr=361

except fitting a max? I swear there is a thread that's maybe 2 or 3 days old where someone mentions exactly where he got the sanswich adapter.

I have one of these Greddy ones on my 5th gen.

 

So that is for the oil feed line? I thought it would be for the oil return line. The oil pan has to be tapped above the highest oil point in your pan to return the fluid? How will the oil feed line get pressure from there, doesnt it need to go through the oil sump first?

Pretty cool find. I guess the hex shaped silver shiney thing is where the feed line would go? And the gold part if for the oil filter?

 

Yes the feed line goes where the silver hex bolt is

Yes the oil filter threads onto the gold thingy

you can also tee off at the factory oil pressure switch. that is if a sencond gen has that but i bet it does


now if only somone knew how to rig up the bolt on oil return where the drain plug is with a scavinger pump like ssr does that would be great because im not to keen on taping my oil pan if i dont have to

 

2nd gen has a oil pressure switch....but it actually runs the oil pressure gauge in the instrument cluster...and it doesn't look anything like the newer gens....so I'm not entirely sure that I can run a feedline off of that. There is a guy that lives in NZ that has a U11 Maxima Legran, I'm having him take pics of the setup as far as the feed and return lines are.....I would like to minimize the chance of having to drill my oil pan for a return line if I can. I was thinking of using a scanvenging pump to return the oil to the front valve cover.....but it's already pretty well pressurized there....plus, I'd be worried of dumping hot oil from the turbo on my valve train.....though it's probably nothing to worry about. We'll see. First thing is seeing how the U11 Legran is setup.....if I can do this by just bolting on parts....I'm gonna go for it.

are you sure about that?? the feed line goes where the black hex studs are...the larger hex one is like a 8 or 10an, waaaay to big for a feed. generally we use that big hex outlet for ls/vtec cylinder head oil feeds then the smaller 1/8ths for turbo oil feed and a pressure gauge

this is mine...


this oil feed method is actuallu much safer that the methods I've seen on a few turbo Maximas' running the T, feed line, OEM OPS all hangling off the back of the block is kinda risky. extremee vibration aand a few knocs and that T will snap in two, happens all the time on turbo Hondas
