    I was scrolling through the front page and the thumbnail "first drive in the drift truck" came up. Got all hyped up and then realized it was when you were towing it around the shop 6 months ago.

    That bung is probably going to have to be moved higher up

    • @_Gingium_
      @_Gingium_  5 років тому +5

      The bung on my Flyin Miata kit is a very similar location and has been for years. Oil will still drain out of the turbo. Why do you think it needs to be moved up?

    • @destin6041
      @destin6041 5 років тому +72

      Gingium it needs to be above the level where oil will sit in the pan otherwise it will not drain properly and cause the turbo to smoke. Especially with these cheap turbos.

    Turn the turbo around and rise the oil return bung up around an inch so the sump oil doesn't block the return pipe, extending the life of the turbo :)

    If you have an issue with the turbo having clearance then you can grind off a little from the block (right under the engine code stamp) and a little off from the casting to the right of it
    With that turbo kit you can run AC and power steering that's why there's so much space on the right lol
