Hopefully I'll be finishing up my build in the next few months - I'm trying to tie up a few loose ends but the big things left for me to buy/install is the oil stuff and then fuel management. A little info:

92 VE30DE 5spd

New Garrett t3/t04e turbo (60 trim, .63 AR)
Walbro 255lph pump
Tial 38mm wastegate
Johnnyracecar.com 8" black FMIC

Bought to get some injectors from Mike and go with probably an E-manage for fuel management

What do I need in terms of oil lines/fittings? I know I need to tap into the oil pan but beyond that I'm not sure what I'll need. Anybody have any advice? Is there a kit I can buy?

Here's some pics of my progress:

I would just get the kit here. It has the feed and drain lines with all fittings. It even comes with an adapter which screws straight into your BSPT threaded OP switch location on your block, then converts it to NPT and allows you to tap in an oil pressure sensor along with your stock OP switch.

I would also seriously consider some kind of oil restrictor since your VE sees over 90psi oil pressure at WOT. Mine sees slightly over 100psi on my cheap Sunpro electric OP gauge. All the SR guys run restrictors. It really helps keep the oil from slipping by the seals in the turbo.

It's best to install a small oil pressure gauge after your restrictor and before the turbo so you know the optimal amount of pressure is going in your turbo.

According to Corky Bell (author of Maximum Boost), it's possible to force oil past the seals if the oil pressure exceeds 65 or 70psi. Which the VE definitely does! Easily! But you don't want the oil pressure lower than 25psi while under engine load.

I believe the SR guys see OP almost as high as the VE sees. So I'd get the most common sized restrictor that those guys use and install an oil pressure gauge. You can get a cheap electrical unit for $25 from Auto Zone. It'd be easy to see what you're doing at WOT before the oil goes into the turbo.

Most guys might not notice periodic signs of smoke coming from the turbo. But it's easy for oil to slip past the seals. It's a good thing to keep an eye on for the sake of properly maintaining the turbocharger.

 

I got the kit in the link but you may have to tell them to give you a drain hose at least 36" long.

 

I briefly measured what I would need when I go turbo and I thought it would barely be long enough.

I guess it wasn't long enough for you? It really depends on the location of your turbo. Most 4 cylinder guys mount their turbo VERY close to the head, which means they can get away with a 20" drain tube.

So are you turbo? Did you mount your turbo where the battery use to be? If so, was 36" long enough for ya?
