Oil pressure for turbo.

[oil pan 4]

I have a tank for oil and found a pump.
I found a 5L tank and a 12v eletric g-rotor oil pump that puts out 90 psi and few gallons per minute.
This is for my turbos oiling system, the oil is going to be synthetic turbine lube.
The pump has an ajustable pressure reg on it, so how much pressure is good for a turbo?
This way I can supply cool, clean (down to 10 micron), high preformance (makes mobile1 look like WD-40) turbine lube under constant pressure before and after engine start up and not take any oil form the week 3.4 oil pump.
Old motor oil is not that good for any turbine device.
I can put a time delay and keep the turbo oil pump runing after the engine is shut off, that would make a real good turbo timer.
Now all I need is a cooler, filter and 12mm X 1.5mm to 6an adaptor and then I will have every thing.

turbo only needs 30 psi.

your turbo timer idea is no good. The turbine needs to be spinning during hte cool down time. A turbo timer keeps the car running for the set time after you remove the key.

Basically safe your money and sit in your car for a min or two with the car running in park (and not in the garage with the door closed).

I agree. Save your money and don't bother with a turbo timer. Personally i think they're a total waste of money because for around town driving with the occasional romp on the gas, you only need to let your turbo cool down for about 30 seconds anyway. Only when you're spending very long amounts of time at WOT (like a road course) does it become absolutely necessary that you let your car idle for longer than 1 minute.

I know other ways to cool off a turbine.
I wouldn't use just the oil pump to cool off a hot turbine just to cool the shaft a little bit more after the main cooling is done.
Every one has turbo timers over here even people that don't have turbo cars (big time ricers!!).
The pumps I found will move 3GPH (not GPM) at 60 psi and a little less at 90 psi.
I can get 2 pumps for cheap.
Is 3 GPH enough for 1 turbo?
