Self Contained oil System?
I'm working on a remote mount setup and am hoping to create a self contained oiling system, however have found very little info on the net about accomplishing this. I realize that this will require a good cooler and of course a pump and perhaps reservoir. Has anyone done this with success?

thats what everyfreakin race engine has... dry sump oil system. many cars now days and even dritbikes and 4 wheelers have this system
basically theres ways to even store oil pressure for cold start, to prevent damage upon start on tight tolerance race engines, prevent oil from sloshing or causeing excess drag on the crank, reduce the volume of overall oil and remove it from the head of the engine, allowing more cooling and better filtration....
look up dry sump oil systems

I was hoping to go with an electric setup, I know sts uses an electric pump but routes theirs back to the motor, like all the front engine mounted turbos. I would rather keep this separate from that of the motor. This is my first turbo project and am surprised not to see this topic addressed more, at one time I had a paxton SN2000 SC blow through setup on my 72 chevelle, and paxton used a self contained oiling system, granted much less heat is seen.

The paxton system also just contained oil, it didnt pressurize it as the paxton ride on roller,noy hydraulic bearings. you'll need two pumps, a scavenging pump, a pressurixing pump, a reservoir, and depending on oil temps, a cooler.

Ok going back to the traditional motor supplied method.
Has anyone used a "sandwich" filter adapter as a source for a pressurized oil and as a return. If I were to use one of these adapters I wonder if a hefty oil pump would still be needed. The source and return would both be low to the ground and I could also place an inline "remount" oil filter before the oil returns to the motor. Any thoughts??

"The turbo oiling system is it's own setup. That way I can go from n/a to turbo just by changing the exhaust pipe from headers. The oil tank is half of intercooler i had laying around and a tci trans cooler with built in electric fan and a electric pump. The turbo system holds about 2 quarts and regulated to 10psi of oil pressure.I have been using this setup for about 8months and no problems. "

sorry im new as well and have been thinking of this as well..
my thought though is can you use an oil tank/resivoir mounted above the turbo and have it gravity feed the turbo and just use a pump to pull the oil from the turbo and push it back up into the tank
