Feeding oil to turbo on the VQ35DE

Hey people.

 

Im thinking about a single turbo build, and i was concidering how to feed the oil to the turbo.

 

Is it possible To run the oil to the turbo via a sandwich plate, and then use the sandwich plate to take the return back again. Like having an Oil cooler installed, this will just be an Oil heater instead :D

There's a guy on here doing a single turbo build and he's made a custom reservoir for oil and a scavenge pump. That way if the turbo blows it doesn't damage the engine.

As to your question, I think the sandwich plate would work bu people with v2 superchargers drill and tap the sump

You will need to use a presurised feed to the turbo, which could be taken from a sandwich plate, but you will probably need to restrict the flow if it a BB turbo, the return will have to be non presurised IE gravity if your using a turbo position thats higher than the sump, if not then you will likely have to adopt the separate tank with a low pressure scavenge pump back to the sump.

Correct. Just out of curiosity why do you need to restrict the oil if it's a bb turbo?

If you over pressure and over volume ball bearing races in turbos it will inhibit spool up and keep the overall speed down due to the drag effect of the oil.

Alright cool. That makes sense. I love learning new stuff like this. Cheers mate :)
