basicly this is my first turbo project and im not sure where to tap the oil from.
i bought this oil filter relocation kit and was thinking i could put a brass T fitting
in between one of the oil lines. (my first idea was to tap into the oil after the oil
goes through the filter so my turbo would be fed clean oil) but i was thinking that
this might choke my engine from its oil supply. if im dumping the oil back into the oil
pan than that percentage of oil is getting filtered but not cycled through the engine.
to fix this i thought maybe i could run the oil to the turbo and back into the oil line it came from
but come to think of it the psi would possibly give me problems trying to put it back
into the original oil line. (instead of running downstream the psi from filter oil line
would push the oil back into the turbo and oil would stand still right?)

so basicly my only question is...is tapping the oil filter line going to starve the engine from
proper amounts of oil throughout, or will it be fine.

and no im not using fram its just a test fitment

 

impossible.

If you are not draining the turbo properly, oil will not stand still.
It will pour out of the turbo seals resulting in a nuclear mushroom of blue smoke. You will love it.

Oil pressure ends at the turbo. You may feed 80 psi of oil to your turbo, at the return, oil is just leaking out with no pressure. It goes back to the pan by gravity. That's why you need to have a LARGE oil return line, something like ½" I.D., that goes straight down to the pan, above the oil level.

However I don't see a problem with installing a in line oil filter on the feed line. Actually, turbonetics does it with a feed fitting made by power metallurgy, basically, oil flows through what looks like a brass sponge, acting as a filter and a restrictor.

 

yes i figured out that i have to use my oil return to the oil pan. thats set in stone.

but can i feed it from the oil filter line to the turbo without taking away from the
engines oil too much.

 

plugging the hose from the filer using a filter sandwich, or simly in the factory oil sensor location is common practice. it will not affect engine oil pressure.

 

why didn't you just get the tuner toys T fitting or the complete stealtheniggle line kit?

 

 

didnt know there was one. tunertoys does one for a corolla?
also i just found that i can use the oil pressure sending unit.
wouldnt that just be the oil pump.

 

The TT block fitting fits into the block where the oil pressure sending unit goes. I used one on my 4AFE Celica a few years back. Should be 1/8 bsp or whatever that crazy thread is.
