I know the ldk doesn't have as many oil galley ports as the lnf, does anyone know how many and where they are in the block?

 

The ones in the head are the only ones

 

U mean besides the oil feed to turbo? Well that sucks. Now where do i put my oil pressure sender

 

There is no oil feed to turbo on a Gen3 2.1L

 

I'm talking about an ldk 2.0 not a 2.1 which is a 2.4 block. the ldk has to have an oil feed, how else would the turbo get oil.

 

Should be obvious:

 

that's the only one?

 

Plenty on the head

 

Ya but u dont get the same pressure reading cause the head is restricted. Unless ldk is different then lnf

 

Prove it

 

Oil pressure gauge on the back port of the head will read less at idle then of its on the block. Ive had this happen on 3 dofferent cars where using the back port on the head is the only option

Personally just use the mil light. Most of the time by the time you look at the gauge and your oil pressure is reading that low its to late.

 

it just was and has been a hundred times over. uv been around long enough u should know this already

 

ill just use a head port I guess.

 

Tom my point is we have used the head ports for turbo feeds on a WR-2 with no problem

 

Why didnt u say so to begin with

 

Is there a thread that lays out all the differences between lnf-ldk because I may be going that route myself in the next year and a half.

 

I think so but I'm not sure, ill try to find it

 

everything I found is the same technical info u can find on google. when I get mine Ill do a comparison like ports and such. if u look at the block on pics, the ldk looks very bare compared to lnf. like they took out everything that's not needed.

 

Tom, what did you end up doing and how did it work out for you? I'm putting in a gauge mostly to be safe on break in.

 

haven't got there yet, but I'm gonna be using a head port
