DT-S exhaust showed up today.

JantzenOKC · 03-30-2016, 10:55 PM

Some nice looking exhaust for sure! I'll be making another thread about it later when I'm not using my phone.

And here are a couple of pics of the ATI Super Damper side by side with the stock balancer.

Someone might have covered this topic but I can't find it. Anyways, where have you guys been tapping your oil return line at ? I'm at the last legs of my turbo build and just want to tap it into somewhere everyone knows is safe. Pictures would be perfect.

There are several places where you can return oil from a scavenge oil pump system. I found that one great and easy place is at the rear of the driver side valve cover. There is a fitting already in the cover and you can connect a hose to it to return the oil from the turbo pump. See attached pictures.

That's where I have my scavenge pump return too. Mind was a little different as I have a 13 with the metal valve covers. I removed the plastic fitting and used a tap to thread the smooth hole, then I just put an AN fitting there to hook up to.

And you guys haven't gotten any blow by like that ?

That won't cause blow by. Blow by is combustion that gets past the piston rings. This is just dumping oil back in the crankcase at a low pressure. Some people use the oil cap for a scavenge return also.

We all use the Elite E2-X Ultra system that always pulls vacuum on crankcase eliminating this and most other Turbo application issues. Only proper system that is ideal for these turbo/centrifugal SC builds. Stops all the oil, evacuates the crankcase properly, adds more power by not allowing pressure to build, and always is pulling suction on the crankcase similar to a belt driven vacuum pump. There is nothing close to this. Here is my install!! Works FANTASTIC!

Love my Elite E2-X Ultra too! Haven't got to run it yet but I think this new setup is going to work very well.

JantzenOKC · 03-31-2016, 11:59 AM

I also weighed the ATI Super Damper today compared to the stock one.

Factory balancer: 5lbs
ATI Super Damper: 9lbs

I hate to add more weight to my rotating assembly but this is probably a case where the extra weight is a good thing.

OH! Trust me, they work and they work great! It's amazing to see how much oil and water comes out of one when you drain it. And that would go right back into the intake and do a number on the intake valves! And by the way, I have tested a number of other units and as far as I am concerned, the Elite E2-X Ultra does the most efficient job. Wouldn't buy any other unit.
