im running a gt30r turbo in the front bumper corner.
the only problem iv come across is the oil return. my idea is to use a separet oil. make an aloy container under the oil retern on the turbo. use an electric oil pump to then pump it to a small oil cooler then in to the top of the turbo. therefor making a loop when it returns into the aloy tank from the turbo return. i know i have to do a bit of maths yet to work out the amount of oil so it wont run dry.

is this ok to do or has anyone other ideas. i cant see a problem with this i might have to run an oil filter aswell.

will this be ok and enough oil for the turbo and keep the oil cool enough.

thanks for your advice

just either use the sump plug as return or make a new hole in sump

it would have to be the sump plug to be low enough but then the oil in the sump would cause back pressure and not flow properly threw the turbo.

thats what i was advised. makes sence unless the pressure that the oil is fed into the turbo from the engine is greater than the waight of the oil in the sump?

it will be.. also the oil in the sump is throughout the engine when it is running.. not like there is 4.5litres in the sump..

you ever seen a turbo oil return with a leak.. it is running at reasonable pressure
