Probably sounds like a newb question but oh well. I need to install my top mount kit on my SR and need a little help in determining the oil return line length. Its a top mounted GT3071R. And yes I am ready for the bashing. I am nowhere near my car, so I cant guesstimate the length at the moment. So, any help or estimates would be appreciated. Thanks.

pics of the setup would help.

Well, at least tell us which manifold you're running... if it's an ebay style, turbo mounts closer to the block and further back... Full Race mounts forward and out a little...

Truth about lines is that you either buy a 'kit'/find the length of the lines in the kit/just mock everything up and measure it out with string/hose/etc and measure that.

my bad, its a full race manifold. So yea, no "full" kit. SO I cant predetermine lengths.

Use aeroquips push-lock hose in size -10an. Thats what i did. I bought 3 feet and the -10an push on fittings did a quick measurement/ cut the hose and simply pushed it on.
