New oil can and washer fluid reservoir are installed!

The turbo kit originally came with 2x prototype oil cans, one on each side. The turbos are too low to drain straight into the engine oil pan, and the kit comes with a scavenge pump, but the oil cans add a little extra buffer so the oil can expand when hot or collect if the scavenge pump isn't running, without backing up in the turbo and coming out the exhaust.

Anyway, the prototype cans were temporary and the new oil can is a single larger can that sits up front behind the intercooler. This way there's only one place to service that's easier to access and the piping to the scavenge pump can be more efficient.

I don't have a side pic, but here's the underside.


When the turbo kit was first installed, we had to delete the washer fluid reservoir to make the new piping fit. This seems pretty common with other kits too.

So Eugene's been working with the guy from 370zed.com, who designed a new smaller washer fluid reservoir, and it's finally ready. Smaller than the original, but nice to have!


Both of these will come standard in the full turbo kit going forward. And it sounds like Eugene will soon be offering a smaller "tuner kit" without these and other supporting parts, for those looking for just the bare essentials.

Heading up to Mendocino next weekend to get new numbers now that the JWT clutch is installed. Stay tuned (pun intended) for results from the dyno!
