High Mount Turbo Orientation On Rb20

[stÖrmy]

Have successfully spun around the exh / core / comp housing to get them facing the right way but was just wondering if theres a proper way to identify the oil feed vs the oil return ? This turbo has 2 normal banjo style fittings which im assuming are for the water feed / water return, and has 2 oil return style flanges....

Would it be an issue to have the oil feed into the side and come out of the side? or does it need to feed the top and come out the bottom? i can rotate the core for any config but i cant tell which is feed and return so i thought i might be able to just leave them on the side so either way it might be ok?

its a PCP / KKR style china spec turbo, yes i know its not suited to the rb20 and it will be laggy as f**k but its a track car and im used to drifting with lag.

the oil line has to go in from the top, that pic looks like the drain, atleast on a garrett it would be

The other oil coonection on the bottom looks exactly the same as the one on the top thats why i was wondering how to identify it, like would the feed have a one way valve or something in it?

oil drain should be bigger than the feed

Hmm ok will check tommorow hopefully one is a bigger diameter than the other. What happens if i use the oil feed hole on the turbo as the return hole instead ? will it be ok as long as its on the bottom?

oil drain is gravity fed, it will need to point down, well as much as possible

oil drain should be bigger than the feed

Thanks mate! one is bigger than the other so im gonna go ahead and assume its the return, Thanks mate!
