I was thinking of going to the front cover but now I thing the best thing is to tap the oil pan for the return line for a better gravity setup.Any ideas?

No. The Oil Pan will leak, and the return will be lower than the oil level (not good).

Tap Any 84/85 Front Cover. It already has the dimple for the factory Turbo Oil Return.

A -10AN fitting fits perfectly.

Here is a link to the pic.

Nice pic of it Directfreak.Thanks.Now I just need to get a fitting for my old 84 cover and get a car.Nothing for sale to drop it in yet. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/angry.png

Yup front cover, if you made the oil go into the pan you would be creating backpressure on the turbo drain.

Yet I hear thats where lots of people run the return line.That why I was thinking of it.

That's just becuuse it's a "Logical" place on most Piston cars. They just didn't know any better at the time when they did it to the Rotary.

Thats what I figured. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/cool.png

haha, and all this time i was wondering why my turbo 2 ifront iron had a whole on the front right. looking from the front of the car. and in the NA iron it wasnt tapped...cant u tell ive never owned anything turbo. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png (well except the irons and the LIM, which has turned into a PITA)

yeah, and most piston cars have a deeper oil pan where if you put the drain back in to the pan high enough you could probably still get it above the oil level. On rotaries the pan it totaly fullwhen oil level is on the upper mark of the dipstick.
