saab oil return and coolant lines
Monday, March 07, 2011 9:19 AM
does anyone have any pics on how they ran the oil return? i saw a post more boost for michigan... http://www.j-body.org/forums/read.php?f=46&i=364595&t=341077&p=1 and it just looks like the saab return just kinda sits in there wouldnt that leak? also where do you get the tee for the rad hose and the heater core... i didnt buy the saab coolant lines i bought a banjo fitting that has a 6an fitting to a 3/8 pushlock connector but i cant find anyone besides jags that run that have any coolant tees.. i plan on installing it this weekend or next...

The oil return does just sit there, put some rtv around it to form a seal too.
I'll get some pictures if I get to it this weekend.

^ you shouldnt need rtv if you drilled the hole the right size, the oil drain has an o-ring on it that should fit snug in the hole, and when mounted to the turbo should "anchor" it into the block.

no clue on the coolant lines, i would say just go buy some brass fittings and make a t on the hoses going to the heater core.

Rad tee is supply and mine dumps back into the heater core line. If you provide your email I'll email u pics of the billet tees I made. I can do the fairly cheap. The Saab ones are plastic and crack!
