OIL FEED LINE
 
I have a B18b, I ran the oil feed line from the oil pressure sender, the oil pressure light came on and won't shut off and there is no oil in the feed line? the turbo runs fine and it appears that it is getting oil, but when i take off the oil feed line there is no oil in it????

PLEASE HELP

a pic of how you have it set up would help, and details about what line, etc. since that makes little to no sense

i did the same thing on my set up. but in still in the works, but i started it and it seems like oil is getting to though my line, but i didnt throw a light or anything. i konw oil is going through there, because mine had a leak but i fixed that, so im sure you are getting oil though there.

In a nut shell,I have no oil in my oil fees line for the turbo. My oil pressure light in the car won't go off. I tapped th 3AN oil line to the oil pressure swich behind the engine using a breaas T fitting. What is the proper way to purge the oil line?? and has someone experienced the same problem when turbo charging thier Acura??

if you have the pressure sensor and the feed line both tee'd in and you didnt somehow break the sensor...you must actually have no oil pressure if the light is on and your turbo isnt getting oil (are you sure of this?)

How big is your feed line? If the line is so big that oil just runs freely through the turbo and out the drain then maybe the pressure sensor is not seeing enough pressure, but the engine and turbo still have a good volume of oil running through it.

I am using -3AN line, How much oil is suposed to come out of the feed line? I tried using a different oil pressure sensor and the light is still on there is oil circulating through the motor because I have a oil relocation and the filterr is full. The engine runs fine, but I don't want to keep running the turbo if there isn't any oil getting to it.

so just disconect your oil feed line to your turbo, put it in a empty bottle and start the car and see if it bottle fills with oil. that will tell you if the turbo is getting oil or not.

I am getting no oil pressure, I used a mechanical pressure gauge and it is reeding nothing?
But like I said there is oil circulating around the engine because my oil filter is full. Has anybody dealt with this problem before, the only thing I did is tap an oil source for the turbo?
