ill be home on thursday [img]graemlins/rock.gif[/img]

i confused my self....... and forgot i think

ok does the turbo get oil from pan ( i know it dumps back into the pan)??? or from a PSI source??? i forget

what oil cooler do have/recommend getting (fiting size lt duty, heavy duty )

also i need to talk on a email/im based manor about the pipes.

soory but the i'm trying to get all the odds and end toget her and only have so much time and im going freaking nuts....... some vaction this will be...... lol

oil is fed to the turbo from a "T" put in the oil sending unit on the front of the block and then returned in side of oil pan from the turbo.

i dont even run a oil cooler.....might eventually put one in but not soon.

thanks shane [img]smile.gif[/img]

I thought Tiago said that an oil cooler was out of the question in someone elses post.

[Drone51]

you cant have a cooler then a turbo, or a turbo then a cooler connected together.


you can run an oil cooler seprate from feeding the turbo or after the turbo

ok one more thing what gaskets should i use to seal my pacesetters??????????????? to hold back 20 PSI of boost or more

[oil pan 4]

I was going to make some stencels so I could use my plasma torch to cut some eather copper or aluminium gaskets to take the back pressure for my car. For the cyl. heads to header that is.
I haven't seen any v6-60* exhaust gaskets that I think would stand up to my appication (or any turbo app.), so I'll just make them my self.
80psi I think is a little to much to much for a turbo but I might be wrong.
For me I know I'm going to run a cooler be cause of the stand alone oiling system I'm working on. It's just a tank and needs to be cooled, I was going to put it after the pumps and filter and before the turbos.
You wouln't beable to have a cooler after the turbo because junk in tht oil would cool, collect and clog it, after a while the cooler wouldn't let oil drain back to the tank or pan.

if your oil pump is doing 80 psi you will have to run a pressure reducer on the oil feed.

Motor oil is the lifeblood of your 3800 engine, and any form of auto racing significantly increases the amount of work you're asking your oil to perform. The INTENSE™ Oil Pressure Kit allows you to increase WOT oil pressure in your 3800 Series II or Series III engine from approximately 50 to 55 psi to a race-oriented (and much safer) 80 to 85 psi. These numbers are based on using 20w50 motor oil and engine operating temperature of 180º F.

cool thanks for the link

I tapped a drilled set screw into one of my brass fittings for the oil feed. Didn't spend much.
