I'm going to put a turbo on my truck this summer. Its going to be front mounted with the kb racing manifold. I was wondering about the oils feed line if i need a pump or not? and venting the crankcase and how i should do it?
Any info helps thanks
I have a 2005 ecsb l33 5.3 and a tc78 turbonetics turbocharger going in it. I hope to have around 500rwhp and plan on running 10-12 pounds of boost.

 

For the feed no you dont need a pump just the oil pressure of the engine will take care of that

And for the crankcase you can do it many different ways it comes down to what you want. Ive seen guys just drill out their oil cap and put a breather in it, some people get the RX catch can that has check valves built in so you can have your PCV still or you have guys like me who run hoses from both the valve covers to a catch can vented to atmosphere

 

I have the RX catch can with dual check valves but it never worked and never collected oil. The breather on the fill cap used spill oil all over at WOT.

I returned the stock oil fill cap and extened a hose from passenger side valve cover behind the left headlight and put a small filter at the end of the hose. I still have the RX catch can hooked but it is sitting there uselss.

 

Ok sweet i can get that off my mind. I know how and where to mount my oil drain but where is a good spot to mount the feed line on the block?

 

this is a nice piece. this takes the place of the block off plate right above your oil filter. if you have an oil cooler, this will not work. you can also drill and tap the stock plate.
Turbo Oil Adapter, (NON-OIL COOLER)

 

Yes most people just tap the stock block off plate to 1/8 npt
