Turbo LS Oil Feed and Drain Locations

Turbo Oil Feed and Drains are often forgotten or not considered until the tail end of a build. Drains can be especially difficult as they require welding fittings and routing lines in an engine bay where suspension components, piping, accessories and more are in the way!
Watch this video to learn more about feed options and drain options. Motion Raceworks makes a billet oil feed as well as turbo drain timing covers. However, due to accessories in the way as well as accessory spacing styles, these aren’t a one size fits all solution. In any possible event we prefer to drain turbo oiling to the oil pan in the highest location.

Another awesome video!!

[@79tazman]

That spot above the filter is for external oil coolers on trucks I believe that's why that is there but it does make a perfect spot for a oil feed that's for sure

[@ReDDaWn556]

Thank you again for your videos and once again you will be taking my money.

[@MotionRaceworksOfficial]

Chris glad you liked it!

[@bradmcdonald6220]

Great video!

[@clutchkicker96]

Heck yeah you just put a ease of mind on my build.

[@MotionRaceworksOfficial]

clutchkicker96 good deal!

[@kittykitty643]

Thank you for that info!

[@prostreethustler239]

Nice peace . gonna have to get me one of those.

[@midnightc6664]

Awesome stuff I’ll be ordering those for my setup

[@931Roman]

Would make more sense if you angled the oil drain fittings to clear every pulley like the rest of us do.

[@MODOORTEK]

Great info man!

[@MotionRaceworksOfficial]

Ben w thanks! Appreciate you tuning in!

[@RL-RL]

I like the billet block so I can run my mechanical oil pressure guage.

[@trentdawg2832]

On the intake port could you run a oil temp sensor? Above the filter on that plate you showed us

[@reedhryals7007]

Hope to be putting twin turbos on my 6.0 L in fox body mustang

[@nsboost]

I just drilled and tapped the factory fitting on the oil pan. Threaded a 4an x npt right into it.

[@MotionRaceworksOfficial]

nsboost that works too! Have done that before

[@matttackel997]

On the feed side with the adapter, could you run one side as the feed Y'd into two turbos and keep the pressure sensor in that second hole?

[@eduardobotello4908]

Any idea when the twin turbo cover will be back in stock ?

[@thomasknight3975]

Hey I've got a question why do they call you Dougy Fresh?? And on another note greatly appreciate your time to show all the new movies how to do things correctly

[@ortegaaugie]

will you guys bring back the gen 3 timing chain cover with fitting on the passenger side i noticed its not on the website anymore.

[@c5pete]

Doug, why not take the oil feed from the port on the forward driver’s side of the engine? Works good, lasts long time. Doesn’t interfere with the OEM stuff at the filter. Regardless, great info and products you guys offer. Thanks!

[@jwattsy05]

I'm looking at taking the oil feed from here as I'm running an aftermarket sump with remote oil filter. Is this the Allen key bolt?

[@foghornleghorn8536]

That would be unfiltered oil, not something you would want sent to your turbo.

[@donnie1581]

You guys use any sealant like thread tape on npt fittings?

[@700HpVette]

Sounds like a good place for a pre-luber?

[@CatlocosGarage]

Shut up N Take My Money 😂 Thanks for the info.

[@MotionRaceworksOfficial]

Catloco's Garage haha no problem! Thanks for watching!

[@SteveDavisCarGuy]

Catloco's Garage the irony lol

[@thomasgunderson9865]

If the turbos are above the engine valley cover, is there any reason why the drains could not be in the front valley cover. The lines would be short but more horizontal than vertical.

[@jj629ful]

I have a question about the timing cover do you need 2 bungs on it if I'm running a single turbo ls in my truck and if you have one on the oil pan do you still need the timing cover or no?

[@daddytrav]

I cant find the timing covers on the site.

[@gmcsierraz7173]

Do you still have the timing cover available?

[@cobra1996able]

Link to timing cover not working. Can't in web site listed. Just showd valve cover

[@redrambogdan7583]

Can you guys please make a video for a hemi lol please

[@wesleynelson8263]

Don't see drain covers on the website. What gives?

[@GreatestHITS26]

What size is that fitting for the oil drain on the pan?

[@jeremiahatwood9524]

But what if you are still running the oil cooler line where the feed plate goes?

[@jimmiejohnson1404]

Where do I get this I have a 5.3

[@user-nt2ms1zu1u]

What weight oil keep doing 5w30 for turbo?

[@b00sted_SS]

My turbos sit up high and I drain into the valve covers. Seen any issues with that?

[@jaystangs23]

How do u put the factory oil cooler block back on. Thats my probem that spot on mine has the block with lines going to oil cooler

[@user-me8hc3bs7i]

You don’t. But if you have oil cooler lines there’s no reason why you couldn’t add a T into one of those as a supply line for the turbo.

[@tompulice7155]

I ended using a Scavenge Pump, what's your thoughts on those?

[@MotionRaceworksOfficial]

Have used scavenge pumps on several projects, they work well!

[@general23cmp]

Can you not use the galley plug on the drivers side near the front for turbo feed?

[@cougar7n10]

Yes you could.

[@ccooper04]

Is the front cover still available? I can’t seem to find it on the website

[@00redneck00]

If you find it let me know because I can’t find it either

[@H00K-KING]

Where’s the timing cover? Can’t find it on the website

[@wesleynelson8263]

I don't see it either

[@sloppycscustoms2725]

🤙🍕

[@gunsandhorsepower]

If the oil fed is on the timing cover how does it go to the turbo

[@51fifty47]

That’s not the oil feed that’s the oil return

[@garrybellamy8487]

Do you make thr motor plate

[@MotionRaceworksOfficial]

Garry Bellamy we sure do

[@3rdgenjunkies57]

You guys are sold out of everything

[@MotionRaceworksOfficial]

What are you needing that we are sold out of? Happy to help

[@josephsatterfield9016]

Do I need to upgrade the oil pump to supply oil to the turbos?

[@79tazman]

no you don't need to upgrade the pump at all

[@kevinwest3689]

Old biker trick, use white lithium grease instead. What we used on the oil pumps on Old Shovelhead, kind of like a fat girl on prom night it doesn't mind The Squeeze.

[@KarKamp]

Did he just say something about welding a turbo drain to the oil pan drain plug... DA Fuck..

[@ardennielsen3761]

so if its a 6.0L it uses a turbo 400 right?

[@purplepanda7075]

Turbo 400, like the transmission?

[@ardennielsen3761]

@@purplepanda7075 how many times can the same old junk yard engine be bought and sold in an economy... like lap dances, ya just pay for it to sit in the garage so ya can look all over it, until the pimp raises rent/bills/taxes... sure would suck to be stuck in a snake pit but from reverse psychology, she probably likes getting passed around. careful, never know how many hands have been on it.
