Oil feed for Bp ?

[turbokid]

Where do I source oil feed for turbo on the Bp engine?
Searched around couldn't find anything.
Thanks!

I use the oil pressure switch for mine. Just a brass tee from any hardware store.

[turbokid]

Is that the one under the intake manifold ? By the starter?

If you have an earlier BP it's already drilled & tapped on the front of the block. There will be bolts there plugging the oil and coolant ports

Bolts or plugs?

bolts..with brass washers..

where's the return!?

Pan.

Plug the return with the bolt out of the block

If it's the pan.. I have to drill and tap it? I need to do this now while it's apart if that's my only option, someone lmk!

I'd assume you have to drill and weld a fitting or tap one since the motor was a NA from the factory. Thats how they do it for our cobra when it was turbo'd

[Rocketman]

Either source a BPT oil pan or drill & tap it. Super easy to do with it off the car.

I'll probably take it in today and see what they'll charge to drill and tap it while they're doing the block work and I need to get this flywheel resurfaced too. Could I just run the water return anywhere below the turbo?

[Rocketman]

Stock water fittings are on the metal coolant bypass line, and then nipple fitting in the block. It's not like the oil system, it's not gravity fed. the coolant system works off pressure differentials

[turbokid]

So is the oil pressure switch the one on the back of the block under the intake manifold?

[gauge_half_inch]

Yes the oil pressure switch is under the intake, on the back of the block.
