Your missing the point. He is going to install a MSM turbo system on a earlier version block. The MSM turbo picks up oil and water from drilled ports on the block. Sends the oil back through a pan drain bolted to the pan and sends the water back into the engine through a fitting on the water pump pipe.

Tell us what you are doing and maybe we can give you some ideas other than drilling the block.

Would it be a problem should any of the shavings get into the block (most likely they will)? Will I be able to get them flushed out without tearing down the engine? I won't drill for oil though, just water Frank _______________________________________________ Miatapower mailing list [email protected] http://list.miatapower.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/miatapower -- Robert McElwee and Red Beast 1991 T25 Turbo @ 15 PSI Link ECU, FM IC, 9:1 pistons Over 400 lbs of "added lightness" www.lightweightmiata.com Lightweight Miata Forum: www.lightweightmiata.com/forum The Miata Trailer Project: www.lightweightmiata.com/trailer/trailer.htm
