Man I’m sure tryin. Only things left really are fab oil feeds and drains. One of the big unknowns was that damn feed fitting.

I had to pull the alternator to get to it. Too much shit in the way on this car and 0 room to work.

Lund was tuning it NA and I have the Ngauge which i think is tied to him.

I’ll give him a run see how it goes. Their customer service is really good.

Couple small updates for the weekend.

Didn’t have a whole lot of time to tinker plus still waiting on some small nick nacks for the oiling system.

Oil is going to return to the filler neck. I drilled a 9/16 hole into the neck and installed a 10an fitting. Came out good. Fabbed oil return lines from turbos to oil pump and oil pump to filler neck.

Worked on oil feeds but the adapter I bought won’t quite work. The 1/8 npt ports are too close to the block once installed which won’t allow me to install the 4an fittings.

Going to buy another one and stack them... push the fittings out an inch or so. Should be fine then.

Coming right along.

I'd be concerned about the filler neck with the return line cracking or breaking. Hard to tell how thick or sturdy it is. I'd try and make sure the hose is suspended and and not pulling/pushing on the neck.

Did the kit come with a scavenge pump or source that separately?

Keep at it man, probably good boost weather out there. I’d also keep an eye on that filler return deal but it’s a start. Maybe UPR or BPS can make an adapter on the oil cap but I’m not familiar around the Gen 3 Coyote.
Whose going to do the tuning?
What fuel?

Good point. That neck is thin. I’ll make sure the return line is supported.

Pump is a generic bronze gear pump. Fingers crossed!

Lund will be tuning it on e85.

I searched for an oil cap with some sort of adapter-ready threads or fitting but no dice.

If this neck deal doesn’t work, I’ll buy a generic billet cap and make my own.

Just asking cause stuff always runs through my head...
If the turbo fails, what keeps the return line/scavenge pump from feeding crap back into the valves with that oil return setup?

Nothing.... but that's no different than a gravity fed system that would dump all of the debris straight down into your oil pan and sucked up by the pick up tube should a turbo go bad.

That said, when turbos go bad, they usually hit housings (hot side or cold side) from excessive shaft play. Rarely does something go wrong where it would enter the oiling system.... its much more likely in the event of a failure that debris would fly through the intake tract or the exhaust tract of the car.

Had about 2 hours today to tinker.

Finally finished up oil feed set up. Got alternator reinstalled and belt back on. Needed the room to install oil feed off block.

Lines came out good. Not a whole lot left now. Hope to have her running soon.

Heat wrapped first oil line off block as it runs under the dr side manifold.

Also ran 2 loops in the feed line to try and prevent smoking and residual oil issues after shut down with the remote turbos.
