Install: Moroso oil pan and oil pump pick up, oil drain line, water lines

With tons of researching, I finally found a way to connect water lines and the oil drain line using the Moroso oil pan.

What a busy March…

Ingredients:

Oil Pan:
Moroso oil pan part #20901
Moroso oil pump pick up #24011

Paint:
Duplicolor ceramic high-heat paint (steel in color)

Drain line (from turbo to oil pan):
Turbonetics 1/2" outlet flange
Aeroquip 1/2" to -10AN 45 degree connector
Aeroquip -10AN 45 degree Super Stock hose connector
Aeroquip -10AN Super Stock hose
Aeroquip -10AN 45 degree Super Stock hose connector
Aeroquip 1/2" to -10AN 45 degree connector

Water line (block to turbo):
Honda Tapped Block heater Freeze bolt to 1/8" NPT
Aeroquip 1/8" NPT to -6AN 45 degree Super Stock hose connector
Aeroquip -6AN Super Stock hose
Aeroquip -6AN straight Super Stock hose connector
18mm x 1.5 to 3/8" nipple from Princess Auto

Water line (turbo back to block):
18mm x 1.5 to 3/8" nipple from Princess Auto
Aeroquip -6AN straight Super Stock hose connector
Aeroquip -6AN Super Stock hose
Aeroquip -6AN 45 degree Super Stock hose connector
Aeroquip 1/8" to -6AN connector
1/8" to 1/8" NPT female connector from Princess Auto
3/16" to 1/8" NPT connector from Princess Auto

Super Stock hoses information can be found here:

Super Stock hoses can hold a good amount of pressure and 300F compared to the braided line that can hold 350F in temperature.

It started with the new Moroso oil pan ($368) with the recommended oil pump pick up ($54)

*Fitment was excellent on the oil pan although the oil pick up flange was a little bit warped. Had to use a thicker gasket than the one supplied.

Pictures of the Moroso oil pick up part #24011

*And I might as well paint the downpipe and mid pipe. This is a 2.5" downpipe with a 12" flex pipe.

*Picture of the oil pan installed. Used Honda oil pan gasket and Permatex high heat silicone “gasket maker”

*Here is some pictures of the oil line drain and the water lines

I hope this can serve as a good reference to people building up cars

Nice. Didn’t knew that the block-heater port could be used for the water cooling. This is going to simplify my install! Where is the water return going to on the block?

Hi,
The water return is going back to where the bleed bolt used to be. I will post up some pictures later on.

Thanks! Can’t wait to see the pics!

Hi,

Here is the pictures installed:

This one is from the block to the turbo

To the turbo

The other one exits from the turbo

Back to where the bleed bolt used to be

You can refer to the original post on what fittings I have used, thanks for the inquiry

Thanks for the pics. But got a quick Q.

Wouldn’t the flow be out from the bleed bolt and back in the engine thru the block heater plug instead of the other way around? Coolant normally goes out of the engine thru the top rad hose so the way I see it, it would be going out thru the bleed bolt, and not in.

Mind explaining the flow behind this setup? I’m really interested in finding out more on this setup as I need to add water cooling for my turbo as oil cooling won’t be enough for this summer.

Thanks!

Hi,
That is a good question. You are most likely right but I do account on where the pressure/flow is higher. Either way it will flow on the least path of resistance and the water won’t be stationary.

regards,
jay

That’s also what I thought, as long as it’s not stationary, who cares which side it’s going!

You have a part number for the block heater freeze plug thingy?

Thanks!

Hi,
Re reading this post, the part number is 90001-PM3-003
Thanks

Excelent work man:up:

just got some great ideas on my turbo build.

heres a question thats not realy cooling line related, but from the picture it looks like theres almost a 45 degree bend at the turbo on the compressor side. has that had any ill effects?

Hi,
I thought about it, but so far no ill-effects on the 45 degree bend on the compressor side charge piping. It might cause little or no air friction should not be a problem.
