Re: question

I didn't at first, and kept getting drips. After detonating and spinning a rod bearing, I replaced the bearing with the motor in the car, and sealed it up better.

After the second time I blew the motor, a friend mentioned that I should have put some plumbing flux on there and rub some solder into it while it was hot. I think that would have done it.

Some people have drilled and threaded a fitting into it, then wrapped it wth epoxy. I perfer the welding, and since a welder is needed to make the turbo pipes, it was there- now working on getting my 3rd welder - TIG this time :D

If you want to trust it an oil pump can be added and the oil pumped into the valve covers.

The oil line is the least of your worries if you are going to build a turbo. Don't make the mistake I did of turbocharging BEFORE you have a good grasp on fuel/spark tuning.

i have the turbo i just need to get all the piping. i really dont want to drop the oil pan so i think im going to go in to the valve covers why would i need a pump tho? and when you say a fuel/spark tune how should i go about that? and what would happen if u dont? and will i need a tune after the turbo is added? thanks for the help

Re: question

The oil pan is easy to drop when the exhaust is out of the way.

Yes you need tuning, not enough fuel will detonate under the amount of air you are pushing into the motor.

At the minumum, I would suggest a wideband o2 sensor and rising rate fuel pressure regulator.

Best thing to do is read the stickies at the top of the forced induction section. Check out turbobygarrett.com and go to turbo tech101.

Re: question

Eh while we're at it.. What's an awesome turbo for the 1/4 mile in a 3.8? And does anyone have any preference on where to buy the rest of the materials used to fab up the piping and such?
