can anyone describe what they do to return the oil to the top of the engine on a Nytro using the vacuum? I have a rear mount and I am thinking about removing the pump.
 
I too was curious about this. If it works it would be nice to remove the added weight and draw of the electric return pump, and have one less thing to go wrong.
 
I made an adapter that took place of the "fill cap" on the valve cover. This allowed me to drill and tap for a 1/4npt. I then ran a 1/2 hose back to the turbo. I had a very very smaller resiover back there. Roughly 12 square inches.

You then will need to plug the small vacuum line that is coming off the top of the Valve cover.

The key to make this work is run big line that way when the oil is cold it doesnt have much restriction.

I put 1200 miles on mine last yr and didnt have one single issue with oiling. Actually didnt have any issues.





 
Thanks for pics TurboM700. I'm still trying to make up my mind on this and a few other things to change/update. Do you need the little reservoir or can it go without it?
