Mega N00b question About OIL Lines
the oil feed diagram isnt loading in the stickies
my turbo has 4 holes for oil lines, ive got all the lines and banjo bolts, but im not sure what to do with them now, im used to superchargers where there is only a a feed and return, what are the other 2 for? i guess 2 for compressor housing 2 for exhaust so how do i fab up running all these, do i weld 2 into one and vice versa or what. i run the oil lines from the back where the oil filter is (f22), i know i need a t joint. im sure its listed in the stickies, but i scanned over all the oil feed section, and am still a bit stumped. |

Im guessing your turbo is water cooled.You dont have 4 oil lines.You have 2 oil lines and 2 water lines.

im guessing i should run the water lines then huh? |
Re: Mega N00b question About OIL Lines
you don't have to, the water lines keep the center housing cool and prevent coking if you shut your car off after doing a power run. lots of turbos are oil cooled only and last forever. you just need to idle your car for 2-3 min before you shut it off every time you drive it.

Re: Mega N00b question About OIL Lines
you dont drain the oil back to the oil filter..... it gets plumbed to a nipple on the oil pan

Re: Mega N00b question About OIL Lines
top= oil pressure(feed)
bottem= oil drain (gravity, make sure its all down hill) sides= water (in and out dont matter) |

Re: Mega N00b question About OIL Lines
water lines are not really needed. i have had a few turbos on my last car taht were water cooled and never used them with no problems. and there is no need to sit in your car for 2-3 minutes before shutting it off. just when you know your getting close to where your headed try not to get into boost too high and you should be good.

Re: Mega N00b question About OIL Lines

i think im going to run water anyways, just to keep the car safe, shouldn't be too much extra work anyways |
