I just picked up a Front mount t66 intercooler for my NNBS vMax l76, yay!! Now, I really don't wanna drill my pan for the return. I thought about it and this is my idea.
Move the battery to the drivers side battery tray. Put a 2-3 quart tank with a pan heater below it, in the batterys place. A small scavenge pump supplying the turbo and the return line into the same tank.
Think this would work?
Think the turbo has enough pressure for the return trip of what, 6" uphill and 3' long to the tank?
The pan heater would keep the oil somewhat thin, for start up.

What about run the supply from normal port above the filter, and the return into the engine oil fill cap?

I know you all know the best, so give me feed back, if needed, then I'll do the normal routing and drill the pan (how did you do it with it in the truck?)

I ran standard oil psi. The. Tried draining to the valve cover worked great.
UNTIL the truck was on a down hill. . Smoked smoked smoked.

Tapping the pan has been proven to work for years. Just use a lot of grease and take your time.

I pulled the pan on my 07. New from the factory. Less the. 100 miles.
Once I seem all the crap in there from them. I will never pull one again.

Haha, I'm just sketched about any shavings getting in the oil pan. But that's why they have filters huh? Do you drain your oil first? Or let the oil stay in to collect shavings and drain after?

X2 very easy on a 2wd

4wd.....it is Alaska after all. Dropping the pan wouldn't be too hard I guess...except the whole 4wd system, ugh.

Also, what injectors are a drop in for my l76? I want a round 60lbs to grow. And If I decide on getting a LS3 intake manifold later this summer, would those injectors transfer over?

x3 Just sack up and drop the pan. I pulled mine over the weekend. Took a little over an hour and it was the first time ive pulled one in a truck.

Or get one of these Comp Turbo - Oil-Less

Or you can tap into the front cover. Removing it might be less effort than dropping the pan on a 4wd.
