Hi, i have an associate in Christchurch who needs a custom oil return fabricated to complete his single turbo conversion on his Soarer. Can anyone suggest a name/ contact/ friend please?thank you.

iv not sceen a soarer return before but based of all the other returns iv seen, there will be the factory return pipe that goes back into the block. Go to cylinder head specialists/japrace and they will have a fitting you can bolt onto your turbo that had the same size fitting as the factory drain pipe. connect with oil hi temp hose and your done. like this ish, might not be perfect but has worked mint so far

thats pretty much what iv always done. you can go as far as getting a dash weld-on and making up a fancy-ass braided return, but at the end of the day its a low pressure return.

with a soare, you will just have to either modify the flange on the block for the return or block one of the inlets off (as the factory has 2 returns)

So its a 1JZ or a V8?

But yeah like has been said, if a 1JZ i have seen people weld up one of the 2 returns.

I was looking up this last week and found these - a -10 fitting for a JZ:

thanks for your input, guys.
On this particular 1jz, the oil return pipe runs very close to one of the runners into the manifold, so the first 100-150mm of oil return line ideally needs to be steel.
