Just seeing if anyone still watches this post. I'm building my setup one step at a time. got everything picked out and ready to buy . Just need some advice (think i have found it already).
Would this be the best spot for the oil feed? Thanks

It's a good spot, there's good access to it. That's where I took my feed and haven't had problems.
We're extremely lucky to have these oil ports, they make it really easy to get a feed line
PS. The OP of this thread sold most of his stuff to me, and that was like 2 years ago... this is an OLD thread haha.

an OLD thread but GOOD thread. thanks
No problem, and yeah glad you're doing your homework - don't feel opposed to bringing back an older thread if you need some clarification! Good luck with the rest of your planning

its better than making everyone reply all over again when the info was already there... good job searching.

What is the fitting size for that port. i am installing the turbo right now and now i'm stuck. please help me guys
Get a 12mm X 1.75 to 1/8NPT fitting, as stated on the first page. The thread size into the block would be 12mm x 1.75

girdle is the best way, oil can drain with no problems at all. although the pan is common to with a 40 or 90 degree fitting is also used alot but placement is important and is different for auto/manual.
im doing the girdle our motors are built for boost and if we had a turbo model that's where the return would go. and it can be tapped on the car if your careful
45 lol not 40 hahahha stupid auto correct

im not boosted yet or I would I been reading on it for a month or so gathering more and more info. if you use the google bar at the top right I goggled ecotec oil feed and ecotec oil drain some people have done good wright ups all ready and there is alot of good pics ...........sorry I can't help anymore till a nother mont
not to sound like a ass whole but do a lot of reading before you boost if you don't know what your doing and do to thick of a line or to thin of a line , also if you need a restrictor or not and how big. lot comes into play depending on your set up.
