In the rear mount setups, what kind of oil pump do you guys (should i use) use for the return oil line?

Thanks.

The STS kit comes with a scavenge/return pump that they make themselves. Several front-mount guys that end up needing pumps because of mounting location have tried to accquire the pump only from STS; they won't sell it for some reason... if you looked if the FI section of ls1tech.com you could prolly search down a part number for some good pumps. I know that the guys that ran the Incon twin kits used pumps, and had to upgrade from what theirs kits came with. That may be a good place to start.

Sounds good, I'll check out LS1 tech then. Ya I doubt they would sell the pump themselves. So people wouldn't try building their own kits like I am trying to do, haha. But thanks for the help. Any other input from anyone would be greatly appreciated.

A user on tech that you could PM is bboyferal (drop my name if you'd like so it doesn't seem out of the blue), he has the same kit that I do, and I know he needed one 'cuz his return was plumbed differently than mine (different turbo too). He may be able to get you a part#/model#/make or something...

Thanks, I just registered for LS1Tech and sent him a PM. Anyone else on here have any suggestions?

John dont use the rear mounted kit unless you have to. I believe most of the kits for the 350 all mount them in the engine bay right?

rear mount sucks , i wont get into explaining why, i hope to dont need to

Its not rear mount, but in the same location as APS mounts their turbos, beside the transmission housing. Unless someone has a better idea...? I mean, my engine bay is pretty damn crowded.

Just mount it up front

Or if you have a tubular K-member....I might be interested in selling my kit minus the turbo.

Haha. Maybe I should have been more clear. This is going on a 350Z, not an actual F Body. I just needed the help of finding a bump. Haha.
