1JZ VVTi Swap - Turbo Oil Drain Routing to Rear Sump

View Original Thread →Posted March 2020 on SupraForums.com
When swapping a VVTi 1JZ-GTE into a MK3 Supra with a rear sump oil pan, the stock turbo oil drain pipe does not line up with the rear sump oil return, as the VVTi 1JZ-GTE was only factory-equipped with a rear sump in the rare 1997-2000 JZZ30 Soarers.
The VVTi 1JZ-GTE turbo oil drain pipe geometry was designed for a front sump configuration in most applications. The rear sump configuration was only used in the 1997-2000 JZZ30 Soarers, making factory-correct rear sump drain parts very scarce.
