back on the turbo

[88beast]

well ive decided how i want to do the turbo finally.
i like the idea of a "stock" location.

the side mount would be great but the piping would be a nightmare.

im going to have the exhaust done by a shop.

the mount will probally be made by the shop too.

the up pipe will be done with 2.5 inch routed where the stock dp is.

the dp wil go on the pass side between frame and motor with a 3 inch pipe.



i have one question. where can i get the most oil flow for this turbo as it will want a lot of oil and i am worried the typical 1/8 inch port will not flow enough?
can i tap into the oil cooler circuit?

do you guys think i should have a cowl hood (remember turbo is sitting on top of the motor) ?

now to the valvecover mod. i picked up 2 valvecovers at a yard the other day. the plan is to add the breather on the drivers side and the gp relay mount on the pass side. the main reason for doing this is an oil return in the pass valvecover. once i get the new covers done i will be adding right stuff to the gaskets cause im sick of these things leaking.

sweet! is that one of the Green(manufacture) filters? any specs on it?

 

[88beast]

yes it is and i dont recall off hand which it is. i know its the biggest cone filter they offer that will slide onto the hx35 cold side of the turbo.

The 1/8th inch oil ports will be enough oil feed to the turbo. If you had a turbo block all the oil ports are 1/4 inch. You could drill out the port to 1/4 inch if you figured out a way to plug the port so shaving didn't drop down into the passages. Maybe some heavy wheel bearing fibrous grease or a rtv plug. Then use a dental pick to remove it. If its free in the port starting the engine will blow it out by the cold oil pressure. Just need to cover the area because it would look like a Texan oil Gusher..

so the 1/8 inch will flow for an hx40 center section?
