I just realised there is a part that I am missing for this.
Do you see in the top right of this picture I am missing the adaptor that will go from the inlet manifold elbow that will connect to the rubber which will connect to the cross over pipe.
Also I wouldnt say that I am the greatest welder in the world and definetly do not trust myself welding the oil drain onto the sump.
I might take the sump off and take it to a pro to weld up nice!
But....Just throwing this out there and by all means Tony or anyone else feel free to shut me down with this comment...lol
Below is a picture of my oil drain pipe.
Would it be possible to take the sump off, drill two holes in the sump for the bolts, put captive nuts/tack weld nuts to inside sump and then bolt on sump including sillastic or a heat protection silicone base product and tighten the living hell out of it???
Could also weld the plate on the outside too possibly???
I just spoke to Patrolapart this morning and they seem to just punch a hole through the sump and screw in a barb and then weld over the barb so they don't have to take the sump off.
Apparently they do this on all of their Safari turbo's.
They mention the punch doesnt put metal in and creates a good bite for the thread to attach.
oil drain flange.jpgThe flange end of the piece you are holding bolts up to the turbo, the pipe end goes to the sump.
Which part are you missing? From what I can see the only parts missing are the short lengths of hose that join the alloy pieces together. If it's the piece in this photo I'm fairly sure you can use the original adaptor you unbolted from your inlet manifold to fit the 90 degree piece.
Inlet manifold elbow joiner to hose from my N/A TD42 is 65mm OD
Cross over pipe is 58mm OD so I'll need to get some kind of hose reducer to clamp over both.
I just rung the bloke and he said he is using that piece...lol..He said he may have one in the shed so fingers crossed.
In regards to the flange end...lol...Yep, thought that was the piece that bolts into the block and again your right mate, that goes in turbo...Have another beer AB!!!
Actually could you use a thin hose piece that is 60mm NB and is 2.5mm thick and slip that over the cross over pipe ( to gain 65mm OD) and then use a full length hose over that which is 65mm NB and hose clamp them both together?
The oil feed line on TD42T taps into a drilling on the front LHS of the engine block, if you fit the turbo onto the manifold with the oil feed pipe attached you should be able to see roughly where that drilling should be. If the drilling is there just remove the blanking plug and fit the banjo bolt with copper washers.
I think I got very lucky Tony!!!
Can you or anyone else please confirm that this is the pick up for the oil feed?
