Im having a sump modified to accept the oil return from a Bailey breather tank and I was just wondering what side I should have the return on the sump fitted. Plenum or turbo side ?

Im also having an oil temp sender fitted to the sump at the same time.

Any advice or photos would be great

 

For what reason chap?? Theres a blanking plug in the block at the back below the exhaust manifold thats drains straight back into the sump The Bailey breather kit should contain a threaded adaptor to fit said hole.

 

the return needs to be under the oil level in the sump.

 

Im breathing from both sides of the block and returning oil to the sump, where there is no pressure to restrict the oil returning. If you speak to Bailey they in fact recomend this, but its a pain taking the sump off and having it modded, so they make do with returning the oil to the crank etc.

But, I stll want to know what side of sump to have the return running too ?

 

makes no diff mate..

you can get adaptors that let you return via a special sump plug...

 

use plenum side, as the heat from the exhaust will detoriate the return hose if you have it on the turbo side.

 

Great stuff.

Ill get it placed on the plenum side.
