Default ls1 350z turb0 feed help!!

hey all, i'm in the midst of building an ls1 turbo setup in my 350z. im looking up oil feed locations and want a little insight. my pan has no provisions for a feed line (although im not opposed to making any), and its running a filter relocation kit, so a feed line like how you guys do on the stock pan isnt an option. nor is the oil pressure sensor location. on the driver side rear in front of the flywheel there is a plug, could i use that area? any insight on this or any other location would be great!!

why is the oil press sensor location not an option? can you drill and tap somewhere on the oil filter relocation kit?

You don't live in Chicagoland by any chance do you. Screenname looks familiar. I drilled and tapped the feed off of the doohicky above the oil filter. For a return I had an aluminum bung welded onto the pan on the drivers side.

oil sensor needed a custom adaptor to get the nissan one to fit, and the oil filter relocation kits pretty damn small,. It may work, but I'd like to see what other options there are first

Willizm, yea I'm in milwaukee area and on chicagoz.com a lot! My oil pan sadly isn't anything close to the factory gm, so I don't have that piece above the filter to drill and tap like I see on almost every turbo feed thread. I got the return setup don't just need a decent location for feed

Stupid question, but without my sikky kit in front of me I have no clue...Assuming the relocator doesn't have an extra feed port, would you be able utilize a sandwich plate that has one like this? http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=...ch&um=1&itbs=1

Aps takes their feed from the oil pressure sending unit, you can do the same.

The plug drivers rear is an option too, yes. There is also a plug by the alternator on an Fcar that can be used too, but it's pre filter, post pump.

that should work actually as long as its a remote block and not one thats sandwhiched between the block, because our sikky swap pans have no provisions for a filter, hence the relocation kit. but thats something im definitely gonna look into. ps i replied to your my350z pm and sent you the info!!
