After driving my turbo S for a while I was wondering does it really matter if that the oil feed line is on the top and the oil drain line on the bottom? As well as the coolant lines being on the sides.

Could I be damageing any thing by having the oil feed line on the left side and the oil drain on the right side and the coolant lines on the top & bottom?

I understand that the oil feed and drain as well as the coolant lines are pressurized but does gravity have any affect on the pressurization?

Basically does any one else have there oil feed line on the left instead of on top and have there oil drain line on the side instead of the bottom?

Much Thanks & Appriciate all that view and comment.

 

The feed MUST be on the top and the drain MUST be on the bottom.

The oil out of the turbo drains by gravity only, so having the drain on the side would cause major oil back up issues and it'll start seeping past the turbine piston ring seal.

 

turbines have piston rings?

 

Thanks, I'm rotating my GT30R this mourning back to a normal set up feed on top drain on bottom and collant on the left and right. Thanks again.

 

Yes. That is what the "turbo seal" is. It isn't a rubber thing that blows out like most people think. It's just a gapped ring exactly like your pistons in your motor. You can't "blow a turbo seal", but oil will push past it if it becomes damaged (when bearings start to wear and you have shaft play), or if oil backs up into the cartridge.
