Message	As some of you know, my daily driver is a Geo Tracker 4x4. As all of you can deduce, a Geo Tracker 4x4 is a far cry from a GT2530 powered Z32TT (we're talking 90bhp vs. 500+bhp). So I'm going to put one of my Z's old stock turbos on my Geo Tracker. (Since the Tracker will be getting a Z32TT turbo, I figure this is kinda Z related. =p) I've got just about everything figured out, except one thing. How do I know where to tap into for oil? Clearly I'm going to want to tap into the block and use a banjo fitting, but how do I know where to tap into? (i.e. how do I know where the oil passages run?) Since I'll have the cylinder head off, do I simply find an oil passage that leads to the head and drill into that? And for coolant, I could just tap into the feed line for the heater core, correct? (The Geo's engine is very simple, and has no other external coolant lines other than connecting the radiator.) Thanks in advance.
