turbo oil scavenge pump
 

ive had a few different turbos on my dp-fi ed3 from junkyard t3s to new ihi rhb5s. no matter what my set up has been or what ive done to try and fix it, my car smokes like a freighttrain. i priced a kit 4 a westech oil scavenge pump @ $205 + s&h.... ....ouch. what would i need 2 build a unit myself that's reliable and cost effective? anyone out there done this b4?

p.s. anyone got the parts i would need 4 mp-fi? resistor box, ecu, manifold, sensors, t.b., fuel rail, injectors, pressure regulator, (am i forgetting anything).

shurflow 8000 $50 at any tractor supply or RV supply. 60psi, 6 gpm. Rated max temp operation 180F heard of it used daily at 200F

smoking problems? do you have a wierd oil return? have you tried restricting the oil flow to the turbine?

Re: turbo oil scavenge pump
 

yes, i have put in a needle valve after the cooler b4 the turbo; that's how i blew my last turbo. i kept turning the pressure down to stop the smoke, but i went too far and twisted the turbine shaft in half meanwhile sending shrapnel into my d15 with fresh bearings. my oil return in just a normal barbed fitting mounted high up on the pan and angled as upwards as possible. i just don't get why the smoking persists.

thanks 4 the tip on the pump for tractor use; that's about a quarter of what i was gonna pay 4 the westtech unit 8)

Post picks because everyone elses works fine with no pump. Either you have some fucked up turbos or your drain is built by retarded midgets. :y

Re: turbo oil scavenge pump
 

have you run an oil pressure gauge after the restrictor before the turbo?
you should know how much psi is going to the turbo.
hopefully with the electric oil pump, the pressure will be constant regardless of rpms.

the pump doesn't feed the turbo ::)

Re: turbo oil scavenge pump
 

so this is used to suck the oil from the turbo back to the oil pan? Nice.

Re: turbo oil scavenge pump
 

This catch anyones attention? Turbo into pan drain should be angled down... always.. that upturn might be catching/slowing the oil and causing it to back up. My drain is slight down tilted (barbed fitting also) and at the top of the pan. 0 issues.

Re: turbo oil scavenge pump
 

return fitting should be angled down......NEVER. that would make the oil have to run uphill. makes no sense to me. :1

Re: turbo oil scavenge pump
 

I have a buddy with teh same problem. His manifold just hangs the turbo too low. the oil drain is straight across to the top of the pan. There is barely a declineto teh pan. He is in teh market for the pump as well. I will show him this thread.

I purchased a Titan oil return pump from BRE perfromance in N.C. The pump was $193 shipped to my door and has a higher temp rating of a constant 265 deg. This will be way more reliable than the 180 deg rated pump, oil coming off the turbo will be hella hot. Just like any other diaphram pump you have to route the oil from the turbo into a catch can @ a litre capasity and has to be vented.

The only catch is a there has to be a filter before the pump inlet. I'm using a remote oil filter, this will give the oil time to cool before entering the pump and to the life of the pump as well as giving added filtration to the system. I will be hooking my system up this weekend and the next and will report the out come.

my set up is a ls/vtec with love fab mini me EQ and T3/T4 turbo running the LS oil pan. I'm getting oil smoke at 12lbs of boost because of oil backing up into the turbo.

I had the remote oil mount just lying around and I'll make my catch can out of some steel or alum. I will be purchasing at home depo. With the price of 3/8 high temp hose, fittings, new oil filter, and pump I'm looking at a total cost of a little under $300 but thats better than getting rid of my well hung love fab mani.
