With a plenum that large I want it, but one question: "Will it fit"?

I'm worried about bonnet clearance and injector lines. Are you around to give us some measurements Ben?

Just got back from the canning. Which measurements do you want? The manifold doesn't come up very high compared to the rocker cover.

Are you running that plenum and runner manifold? Wondering how it fits with the injector lines, the fuel filter at the front and the mount/throttle linkage at the back.

Measurements from the bottom of the flange to the top of the manifold would help me estimate clearance.

Isuzurover I see that you have photos of the turbo oil drain that you took back to the oil pump cover I was wondering where you took the oil feed for the turbo from?

I was under the impression it was taken from vacuum pump feed. Perhaps I was mistaken.

Using the alternator feed is best, BUT do not tee into the alternator drain pipe as it is too small to drain both alt and turbo, and WILL back flood the turbocharger oil gallery causing oil to run OUT the exhaust....:o It DOES happen, I HAVE seen it:(

If you have a perentie motor the block will have a roughly diamond shaped plate with two bolts holding it in place. It is located close to the chassis rail on pass side. A tube attached to this plate is where turbo motors generally drain to. You could weld a nut to the plate that was suitable for a bsp right angled barbed fitting.

Holly crap I tapped into the alternator feed but i also tapped into the drain off the alternator as well :o ill be doing some mods very soon then! Thanks guys

Alternators dont feed on oil. Vacuum pumps do.

:p Why do you think I said not to:p:p I ended up welding a fitting into that diamond shaped plate Peter was talking about. After I cleaned the oil out of the dump pipe and stainless flex...:(

Sorry vaccuume pump then haha yeah I was thinking of drilling and tapping one into it if it fails ill weld it in then...
