clwtwizted , pics or a web site with pics, i'd love to see the setup.

BoosteD_90_DX, please do find out from him how he did it, if its really that easy i might get off the rer mount idea.

No it won't, ------. In the brief moment in my life where I was thinking of buying a Maxima (kill me), it was glaringly apparent that everyone said that the TT manifolds would NOT bolt up. What are you going to do, mount the turbos outside the fender? the 300ZX is RWD, so the manifolds travel alongside the engine, not under and to the side of it.

The turbo is a junk piece of ---- out of volvo. the seals are blown and leaks oil. the turbo is cooled by a gravity fed resivour and burns the oil off as i drive i have put on 4500 miles and only gone threw half of it. full boost at 4k 1 1/2 exhaust straight and the bends are 2in to keep the air hot and dence. yet free flowing. this was all built out of ---- i had laying around and was made out of wanting to try something with out any expectation. it works great if you dont like it lick my hairy sack bitches

damn, daddy like.....I would think there would think that this company might be a decent solution to a self contained oil system...

So your feeding it with a gravity feed, but then hows the return. You dont have any type of pump on the return? And if its gravity feed that means that even with the engine off its feeding oil, i'm so confused, how the hell did you do that and not have it flood the turbo with oil? Im liking the ghettoness, whats in it as for fmu, boost management? Or should i not ask, lol.

So all you've done is put a tank in the trunk with a line to the turbo, and a return line(im assuming with a pump?), and you let it do its thing, no timer or nuthin. Typically how much pressure does the oil in need. The out is pretty straightforward, you gotta get the oil out of the turbo before it becomes overflowing with oil, so more pressure "out", or volume atleast, is needed than "in". But im still going to use a timer, and some sort of anti backflow valve in the line so when i shut off the car oil doesnt creep back down into the turbo, probably a float valve of a sort.

Seriously, go look at the turbo nissan pathfinder on this forum (named "so I turbo'd my pathfinder, y0!"). The pump he used was like $60 on ebay. As for the setup above - he says it burns if off, as it it has no return. In other words, he's doing the stupidest thing you have do with a turbo - run unpressurized oil that has to leak out and burn up in the oil passages, clogging/coking up as it does so.

You can also go to HT if you wear a condom, and find the rear-mount CRX that's in the fab or turbo forum atm. He has some info listed on it that shows rearmount isn't as bad as people think.
