Oil Feed and Drain Reccomendation
 
Hi Guys-
I recently picked up parts of a used Greddy kit for my 1991 1.6. I have the TD04H turbo, Greddy manifold with cuts, downpipe and some other air and intercooler goodies. I am starting to spec out the rest of the parts I will need, and have hit a wall on spec-ing out oil feed and return. I am planning on tapping the pan as recommended rather than going to the drain by the filter. That being said, the only dedicated kit of oil feed and drain I could find online was this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/89-MAZDA-MI...t/264029565408
Does anyone have any experience or input on me using this, or have a better kit/source for spec-ing out parts?

This post made my brain bleed. I had a big think and I say you should cut the dipstick tube and drain the oil there, since it returns to the pan.

Do what a million of us did and drill/tap the oil pan below the turbo.

@skylinecalvin Thats what I'm planning on. Any feedback on how that kit would be, or a resource with some parts spec-ed out for the feed and drain if I dont get that kit? I've been searching for a while and have came up empty. Thanks

Search harder as there are a ton of threads on drilling and tapping the oil pan. The kit you linked would work, but that oil drain would require removing the oil pan to install the captive nut on the inside of the pan.

No worries, the internet can be pretty hard to search for one of the most comming turbo related miata question. Click HERE for help.
