the only place i know off is the back of the block next to the oil filter. their is a oil sensor their. you need to install a "T" so you can put the sensor in and a oill line

You mean the line that goes to the turbo? I thought that you tapped into the oil pan for that.

oil feed = oil sending unit. its located on the back of the block directly above the oil filter. it has one small banana plug and unscrews out of the block. Use a T fitting and -3 or -4AN line and run it to your turbo.

oil return = drill the oil pan on the front of the block, position depends on your setup. weld in a bung to use any line designed for oil from the turbo to the oil pan.

their is also a fitting sold for fuel cells, its a crush fitting with 2 nylon washers on it and it works perfect for oil return

If you check the for sale section in the forums at http://www.homemadeturbo.com they sell a special fitting for the oil feed line.

Yeah I meant the feed. The drain is no problem. Have that sorted already.

Any idea of cost of the line and t-piece?

Nip over the road and pinch one of one of Warrens trains, won't cost you a thing then :-)

Otherwise take the sender unit to any enginering supply store so they can match the thread and it shouldn't cost you more than $10 if that.
Thier a pretty standard piece used in a lot of enginering applications, and most places are familiar with people comeing to get them so they can fit extra oil pressure guages.

LOL!
You should get hold of Eric and see if he still has the F20 from his SiR Accord :-)
200hp in the Taxi would make it real HSV killer.

And speaking of Taxis the guy I work for up here is selling his NZ new EX Accord, same spec as yours, (including the leather) but a single carb version of the B20. 170k and he only wants about $2k.
