Vortech oil return line help

[camarotony]

Starting my first supercharger build and I was looking at how the instructions have you punch a hole in the oil pan . I thought about drilling a hole and installing a bulkhead fitting for the return line. Drilling a hole in the pan is not a problem because the pan is not on the motor . Does anyone have any better ideas on how to run this line?

yeah the reason they want you to punch it is there is less metal shaving than drilling ( with engine in car.) i welded two bung fitting on my pan for oil return. there 5 bucks each and drill a hole and weld them.

I had a npt bung welded in my pan. You could get a an nipple welded on. But if it ever gets damaged you would have to cut it off and have a new one put on.

I'm under the impression that the reason you punch a hole vs. drilling is so there's more metal to tap threads into (since the metal bends in). Tapping the hole will cause a lot of metal shavings as well but be sure to pack the tap with grease to catch them if the pan is on the motor.

Guys. He said the pan is not on the motor.

I thought about using a bulkhead fitting with a nut and gasket on both side and put a braided line to the supercharger.

Weld a bung.

I would weld fitting in if it is apart I would have an line made up if possible. The stock line can be a pain to remove. ( stock being one that came with kit.
