I know there are oil lines going to the turbo, but as I did a tune up today I looked for a place where these lines might go and I didn't see any.
Do I need to do a full-on engine swap or are they there and I just don't see them.
I've also read about water lines and again I don't see a place for them either.

Also I've read on this forum of changing the cam out for a ranger cam. What Ranger is the cam out of?

Thank you

The factory oil line comes off where the oil pressure sender mounts (on the driver's side rear of the cylinder head). The return line goes back into the block under the exhaust manifold, but there isn't a hole there on the n/a blocks.

For the water lines, they come off the upper heater hose, and then come out of the turbo and go into a hole in the block. It's on the passenger side toward the back, it's a 1/4" NPT hole and it'll have a pipe plug in it on your engine.

For what? The return? You might be better off just running the oil drain straight to the pan. That's what I did on mine, allowed me to run a -10 AN line to the pan that's easier to get to than the factory drain line is. You can either weld a bung to the pan as I did, or just tap the pan like the guys do when they put a vortech supercharger on a 5.0.
