OK we went and got an oil filter housing and some other parts tonight. It came out of an auto 6bolt. Also most postive that it was a turbo because the oil pan had the oil retun line hole. Now here is the ?. The hole in the housing that my old turbo feed line went into on my old housing is blocked off wih a threaded blocker in the used old we picked up. And doesn`t look it has ever been removed. Is the oil feed on a 6bolt different than a 7bolt?

Your post is confusing...
The 6-bolt and 7-bolt housings are different, yes. -------------------- The fastest car I own is a minivan....

Stock, 1G all oil feed lines come from the fitting in the head. All 1G oil feed lines in the oil filter housing are blocked from the factory. It is a modification to get oil to the turbo from the oil filter housing. Oil from the oil filter housing is cooler and cleaner than from the head, but the pressure is higher which is bad for some aftermarket turbos.
There is also a difference between the '90 and '91-'94 oil filter housings due to the air-oil vs. water-oil coolers. The differences are spelled out in this RRE tech article: http://www.roadraceengineering.com/instruc...lineinstall.htm |

I am doin a 6bolt swap. my old t25 oil feed came from the oil filter housing. So it was tapped there. the water cooled 6bolt housing I got last night is blocked off. So I need to remove the block off and tap there. Sorry for making these confusing but I am not use to the 6bolt setup. FYI I am using my 2g head.

The oil filter housing he has is of a 92 6 bolt ( I sold it ) and you can get a SS oil feed line from extremepsi.com for like $40 ( looks really good also! With this you will not need to tap as there is two plugs ( allen head ) you can remove and screw it right together.

I might not be able to make it tonight. I've got a TON of school work to do before Thursday. I'll give you a ring if I get done early though.
