I already had the oil pan off once to install a baffle when I thought I was staying na and didn't add the bung at the time.

So now that I am going the SC route I didn't want to take it off again and I decided to copy the SOS return setup but apply it to the Vortech kit.

Measured the ID of the return hose and it was right at 1/2" so that's -8 hose equivelant.

Gave summit a call and for 20 shipped I had a m14x1.5 to 8an apater and an 8an to hose the next day with their standard shipping (summit rocks!!!!!)


Drained the oil added a crush washer and some sealant on the metric thread since ill just take the an fitting off to drain the oil now and its all set ready to rock!



-flame suit ON- for return line below the oil level.

 

Clean install Hope it works out for you.

 

thank you sir

 

Very clean. I don't know why all new Vortech owners wouldn't go this route instead of tapping the oil pan. Looks like the total price was just above $20, its a no brainer to me.

 

If anyone doesn't want to do that, I will trade you a tapped pan for a non tapped one.

yeah with shipping and everything it was like 22 or so, because the oil will "back up" the two foot drain line

there is a FS section exactly for this

well have about 500 miles on the car now without any problems at all, the setup is working great without any hint of an issue

 

have another 500 miles on this setup, as far as Im concerned this is a very easy and recommended way of returning oil with a SC kit last post ill be making here hope it was helpful to people.

 

i wouldnt go so far as to say its the recommended way to return oil to the pan. tech, there is a chance your drain could back up since it drains into a submerged part of the pan. however, i have not heard of any problems doing this on an s2k.

all failures i read about were from too much oil pressure on the feed side. that being said, i didnt take a chance, and had FBM tap my pan highest point on the front.

imho the girdle is overkill.
