95legwagon Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 wondering..... i see people have run scavenging pumps on theyre turbo's to avoid oil pressure biuld up and blowing out the oil seals..... my question is this: can i make an independent oil system for my turbo? like id have a reservoir, pump, oil cooler, maybe a check valve on the input side of oil to avoid over pressurizing, and would i need a scavenging pump on the other (output) side to pull the oil through? i dont want to tap into my heads or oil pan to get oil.... and if i get an oil leak from the turbo id rather it not take away from my engine..... any thoughts or has anyone done this? thanks guys just noticed we can attach files now to posts..... SWEET Quote i think there real i was looking through that guys stuff he sells and it looks like he finds stuff at auctions and just sells it Yea, it looks like someone got the mids about a month ago....shit.

V8SRSLO Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 it has been and can be done but very tricky because you have to regulate the oil temp between 200-250ish to low of a temp is just as bad as to high. the amount of oil in the reservoir needs to be sufficient but not to much or to little. i wouldn't suggest trying it honestly as self sustained systems take alot of r&d + trial and error to get right Quote glad to see you made it to the forum.. i had a feeling you would chime in on this. there are some real knee slappers that happen in this sub forum.. so be prepared.

nickers Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 youre going to need an electric oil pump... not sure if anybody makes those, much easier to run together, notice all the pros run oil to turbo from the engine, because it works, you shouldnt go into a project with the assumption in your mind that its going to fail, thats a bad way to start a build. anyways turbo seals can be replaced just like any engine gasket .

Most motors turbo oil feed line comes off the block from a pressurized oil gallery. Motors NA from the factory usually use a oil filter sandwich plate to feed the turbo... Unless you're talking about a dry sump setup...Which is very spendy...

nickers Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 oil galleries are part of the engine... i know what im talking about. motors NA from factory remain naturally aspirated, the oil pump is before the oil filter plate, therefore the engine oil pump feeds the turbo just like i had said... i dont eeven know what youre talking about. you must be drunker than me Quote chevrolet all day er day.

Yes, the oil pump is before the filter...Making a sandwich plate between the filter and block work perfectly for feeding a turbo on a motor with a turbo added on.
