Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Forced Induction taping for lines

Hey guys just wanted to know where the best place to tap for the water and oil lines going to and from the turbo might be.....I know there's a bunch of places to take it from but where would be the best...i.e right off the oil filter, things like that .

And does anyone know a good manufacturer of SS braided lines.

Thanks

Thanks livin

yea...I was planning on drilling a hole into the filter, ya know because it would be the cleanest source

I'm looking for ideas here

search for the answer. IIRC, and I don't even need to know this, the oil pan next to the Ford logo.

maybe I didn't make it very clear....I need to know where the best places to tap into for oil and coolant would be. I know there are a bunch of places, but of those where would be the best.

and no more comments from the peanut gallery (JONNY)

j/k actually I did a search and came up neigh on results.

I'm not running a T28.

thanks in advance

That's funny, I just did a search and came up with plenty of info. What's even funnier is that it only took me 2 minutes.

i know alot of people like to remove the oil pressure sensor, put in a tee and reconnect the pressure guage and that be your source. Then tap the oil pan (high up) for the drain.Make sure the drain is arger than the source line.

As for places for coolant, im not sure on that one...sorry.

Tap oil from the rear head. There are 2 plugs either one will do. Coolant there is a line about 1" in diameter right under the water pump. It's actually already cut and put back together with a plastic barb. Simply pull apart and run through the turbo.
