First off, I have no experience with turbo fabrication, so i apologize if my ignorance offends anyone. I am in the planning stage of my first turbo project, I recently picked up a small turbo, it has oil and coolant. The question i have is about the turbo/coolant. I am aware that i will probably have to scavenge the oil from the motor. Would I need a scavenge pump for the oil? Same question for the coolant, would I need a pump for the coolant as well?

Thanks

 

if you are using a turbo block, you can use the oil feed from the top driver's side and run a -3 line to the turbo. run a -10 drain to either a tapped hole in the front cover or oil pan, just not below oil level. this will cause backup. if you don't have the feed on the top front iron, get a oil filter sandwich adapter from racing beat, and run a line from there to the turbo.

good luck with you project…turbo FB's are a helluva lotta fun!

 

Sounds good. No, I don't have a turbo block. Would a generic adapter off ebay work? As far as the coolant goes, where would you tap in for that?

Thanks for the help

 

Not to be rude, but you have 115 posts. By now you must know how to search...this has been covered a million times.

 

You are right. I guess I'm just excited to start. I live in Minnesota and it's been so cold for so long, I really wish I would have insulated my garage last summer.
