After removing the turbo I found this oil line next to the pressure sender cut off and crimped over.

 

Can anyone tell me where it should go and have a picture of what it should look like as I can't find it in the service manual

 

Cheers

that end normaly go's to the Stock zed turbo ....

It's the opposite side to the oil filter so it's not the oil pressure sender is it? Now i've got myself confused. What is it Mark?

Jap cars have the Oil Pressure sender on the passenger side its T in to the turbo oil line

 

UK cars have it on the driver side tapped off the main oil filter housing

 

but the other strange thing is whats that connection sitting on your finger

Interesting, means i have a Japspec engine in a UK car lol

Gotcha, makes sense now as just after I posted that pic I saw a tech article pointing to it next to the oil filter which confused me.

 

Going to go and work out which way the oil was fed into the turbo as my pics don't clearly show it

 

Cheers

UK and Jap cars after 1990 have the oil pressure unit on the passenger side, the early 1989 zeds had the sender on the drivers side above the oil filter.

damn it!

 

lol

Ok was mighty obvious when I looked at it, it's the braided oil line for the turbo oil feed, but what would normally go in the place it joins to if the crimped pipe is the regular turbo oil feed?

 

 

Again on this side there is the braided feed but what's this plugged hole usually for in the oil tree?

Only US cars had the sender on the oil filter side matey.that pic is a bad bodge of a stock oil feed,shocking workmanship.I relocate the sender to the filter side when fitting bb turbos.

that blank is where a blank would go but thats not it.Get a switch relocation kit and plumb it where the blank is then bin the bodged stock pipe and run a braided line from the banjo straight to the turbo.do not use the "k"banjo on a ball bearing turbo as its restricted inside.

Yeah that's right

Noted, thank you. So im guessing it locates into the plugged hole on the oil tree in my second picture?

 

Ignore this, Jimmers whole post didn't appear on my screen.

 

Thanks for the help guys, much appreciated!
