How To: Turbo RSX Oil Feed Line

In today's video Ali and I show how we installed the turbo oil feed line on her k20a3. This should work for all K series and possibly lots of other motors which have any 1/8 BPST oil sensor on the block. Enjoy the video and please SUBSCRIBE for more!

Nice video. Will definitely help me in the future

Ifrit aeon!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@qualitycars5395]

Good info good wish you luck

[@camlobesvtec]

Was that the best way to clock the turbo for proper oil drainage with that turbo manifold or were you able to clock it more?

[@jonnutton7075]

Keep posting more videos I have a ep3 and I'm ganna go the same route you guys did k30a3

[@jdmodsgarage]

+Jon Nutton okay we will try! What do you want to see?

[@BulliKid]

Did you have smoking issues. My Emusa is smoking bad and I run a .065 restrictor. Not sure if I should go with .035 next or just get another turbo.

[@samhan7048]

Where u get that T fitting from that runs to back of the block? Provide link please. That’s exactly what I need! Also what’s the size of it? Not enough info in the description or where to get it .

[@andredaley8934]

Good job, i'm looking to do this in the future with my RSX. more step by step videos would be good.

[@jdmodsgarage]

+Andre Daley unfortunately we already have the motor in the car but if you let us know what kind of steps you want to see we can film it already assembled!

[@andredaley8934]

Will you be running stock ECU ?, also fitting the front intercooler video and a general piping fitment video would be good. also after assembled, updates how LB's boost, dyno numbers and driving it often to see how long it lasts on low boost and if any issues arise. also a list of any extra parts that needed to be bout outside the kit and where you got them. Thanks

[@rileyrr2925]

I'm doing a KZbin series for turbocharging the k20z3 civic si. I really like these videos you made, I'll try to expand on a few things I feel you might have missed or didn't cover in case anyone's having trouble.

[@jdmodsgarage]

Anytime!

[@Queensraces]

my boy told me to byy the emusa turbo i fot have bread for a turbonetics turbo so im run this one thanks for the video now ibcan see how everything looks and hook up so if i have anyleaks ill know where it might be from, how many psi u planning on running??? i was thinking the less psi the less pressure on the turbo so whatever get me to 330 or350 ill be good.i wonder wat that kit sounds like.hope u do a futre vid

[@jdmodsgarage]

+flipdc5 were gonna run a conservative 7-9psi since it is a stock k20a3 but that should still make around 220-250 whp and we can always turn it up if needed

[@vapelyfe448]

Hey I need to ask you where did you get that fitting for oil feed adapter

[@jdmodsgarage]

VaPe LyFe we have a full build list video out now! Link should be in the description of that video.

[@jmont124]

you think a Ai research turbo (technically a Garret T3 turbo) be a good lil turbo for the k20?

[@jdmodsgarage]

+jmont124 yeah for sure! Spool fasts and could get good horsepower if you want 300-400

[@JuanMacarioksp]

What turbo manifold is that?? Looks compact I'm trying to get something like this for my mr2 with a k20a.

[@jdmodsgarage]

Just an ebay log manifold

[@hectorfalcon8664]

Did your kit come with the proper adapters/connectors for the oil drain line or did you have to buy anything seperate to make it work? Im not looking forward to drilling a hole in my oil pan, curious if this kit provided everything you needed. Many thanks !

[@jdmodsgarage]

+Hector Falcon no it didn't. We had to buy a weld on -10 an for the oil pan and we bought that tee fitting aswell

[@hectorfalcon8664]

ok thanks for the information I apperciate it!

[@bhadz100]

How do you unplug the oil pressure sensor? Do you just pull the harness? No clips?

[@jdmodsgarage]

There is a small little clip under the rubber shield. Just squeeze and pull!

[@Aaron62481.]

what size restrictor? I'm buying the emusa kit for my rsx for everything except the turbo I have a garret ama use

[@jdmodsgarage]

+octavio nunez this restrictor is probably around a .025" because it's the cheap ebay journal bearing turbo. For a Garrett turbo you are usually supposed to go unrestricted with a 3an line or 4 an line I believe

[@jdmodsgarage]

+octavio nunez or you may need a very large restrictor such as a 0.065" depending on the turbo

[@Aaron62481.]

Yeah heard .065

[@Edsel1134]

What turbo manifold is that log mani? Been looking for a small top mount like that for a swap. I know this is old just wondering if you two still know? Ty

[@dontawatson2279]

eBay log manifold

[@Edsel1134]

@@dontawatson2279 most the log manifolds are bottom mount. Got a link?

[@hahnmowermotorsports179]

Not getting any oil to the turbo.. ran my oil feed just like this any ideas

[@camlobesvtec]

Disconnect the oil feed and put it in an empty bottle, then unplug the injectors and crank the engine until you see oil come out of the feed line.

[@hahnmowermotorsports179]

Camlobes Vtec that’s what we ended up doing figured it out less than 5 minutes after posting this comment lol

[@brycenhemmeke2464]

R u inventor 719

[@TheShangralaaaa17]

Try doing this with the engine installed. That's what we really wanna see

[@TheMasterARK]

So if you tap the oil pan for an oil feed line, where does that end up going to?

[@jdmodsgarage]

TheMasterARK you tap the oil pan for the oil drain, which goes to the oil drain port on the turbo.

[@amishlaptop]

Where is the video to install the turbo itself lol

[@chrishuhn5728]

If its not a ball bearing turbo not even worth it honestly just waste money js

[@jdmodsgarage]

Christopher Gonzalez well 10,000km strong! :) not to mention, precision turbo makes journal bearing turbos that cost well over $1000usd.
