Amazingly, an oil tank from a Honda 500 atv fits way too perfectly in this cavity. The tank comes with the lines. An oil dipstick and an oil cap/fill nozzle. All for $25!!! Way too cool.

Some work had to be done to the oil drain fitting, it looks like a 16an fitting but when I ordered the 16an fitting, the fitting was too large to fit onto the Oem holset oil drain, but with some grinding down the fitting I was able to slip the 16an fitting over the oil drain fitting. It will not be high pressure so a simple screw type clamp should work

Here is the Honda atv oil tank bored out to accept a 16an turbo oil drain. A dremel works well for this

With the wipers removed and some of the charge pipe installed through from the bottom of the car, here’s an example of the route of the intake piping from the rear/underside of the car, into the throttle body

One common issue with forced induction setups on these motors is the MAF sensor elbow, there is not much of a lip on the throttle bodies for these cars, and not much room to attach charge piping to the throttle body

A common hold up when installing holset turbos is that you’ll find a normal t4 flange does not line up correctly with the t4 pattern on the holset turbos. A common workaround is to enlarge the bolt holes to fit what is considered a “t4i” or t4 international flange

I had a friend weld about 7 or 8 small spots (called tack welds) around the throttle body to connect a bit of aluminum intake pipe with a lip. A lot of heat can get transferred from the welding process into the throttle body and damage it, so I wanted to avoid anything more than a few quick spot welds Afterwards I sealed up the new throttle body modification with a healthy layer of jb weld

Here is the flange after modification, note the massive t6 sized turbo blanket barely fits over this turbine housing!!!

Spot welds a friend did for me, aluminum welding is out of my scope of capability at the moment.

After lots of trial and error , here is the turbo charge pipe , into the Volvo penta air valve, into the oem maf, then into the engine . This part was fairly tedious but I’m very glad I made room to hide the air intake flapper valve and retain some of the oem engine bay arrangement

Here is the intake setup with the oem engine cover. Once I realized the intake air valve could possibly be hidden behind the firewall insulation, I was eager to see if the engine cover could still be fitted. Sure enough we are in business

Here is an oil catch can idea I’m trying out... A few inches off the catch can, is a PCV valve from a 1999 ford e150 v8 engine. This way the engine can blow off excess crankcase pressure, yet retain vacuum when needed. This valve kinda sucks, it was only about $5 but it’s not absolutely airtight like i would prefer

“Water resistant” sock over the fresh air feed. With the Oem Maf housing and sensor before the throttle body, I can meter ALL air entering the engine, not just the turbo charge air

Here is the charge piping routed under the car, into the front right wheel well. Even with the steering wheel fully turned right, there is still plenty of clearance between the piping and the tire

DIY “hood” over the hvac air intake...now to just finish a suitable “drain” tube from the hood opening to the bottom of the car

Sadly, I’ve decided to ditch the Honda Rubicon Atv oil tank idea for now... it is coincidentally a great design for a trunk mounted turbo on a w215 car, but it’s aluminum and I do not have the means to weld aluminum right now. Lying around, I had a small air tank for an air compressor system. I cut it down to a more reasonable size, and welded it shut. Later I used a hole saw to cut a 1 1/4” size hole for my 16an drain line to run directly into the oil tank

Here is the start of the re-design of the rear, this piece will provide a subtle exit for the 3” or 4” turbo exhaust and help carry it to the rear of the car . I will be designing a new trunk floor/spare tire well
