can i run an oil return line back to the oil pressure sensor. i cant do a gravity return because my turbo has to be mounted low. any other ideas?

 

just mount some kind of pump after the return line & lead the line into the oil pan. I don't know what pump but if you do some reasearch on pumps I'm sure you'll find a good one cause you don't realy need it to be realy powerful since the original force for the oil return was suppose to be gravity fed. -just a thought

 

your turbo is going to be sitting lower than the oil pan? as long as the pan inlet is lower than the return outlet it should be ok.

 

you would need to rig up some kinda sump pump setup.

 

Yeah, lol.. just go to the oil pan, it will save you some trouble. The turbo sits like less than a foot away from the pan anyway.

.. how low are you going

 

Its going pretty low cause I wan't to save my a/c and theres barely any room to spare under there. I was also thinking of a pump but does anyone know who makes an electric one with 100% duty cycle IS THERE ANY REASON WHY i CAN'T RUN A LINE BACK TO MY OIL PRESSURE SENSOR?!!!!!!!!!

 

why dont you just make an entirely seperate oil system for the turbo, with its own electric pump, filter and lines?

 

BECAUSE THATS WHERE YOU FEED THE TURBO WITH OIL FROM,so it will probably build up pressure, and bow something. just do it easy way(only way).

 

Ya know, that's a good idea.. changing oil would be easier wow.. sounds good but I think it would be required to have an oil cooler because there would be less oil the turbo is using.. I think the oil would get extremely hot.

 

go to a marine or boat shop. they sell pumps you could use to pump the oil back to the pan or where every you want to return it to. guys use them on turbo charged bikes. forget the excact name for the pump but it should work. they are normally bout $80-$200 bucks depending on the size and how much it needs to pump
