ok don't flame i just read all 7pages of the premix thread. I might of be missing something but do you still keep engine oil in the pan for the turbo or what. Just a question from a newb trying to learn

scathcart

The pan oil remains in place to lubricate the turbocharger and engine bearings. You still need the oil pan, or else your engine eats its bearings and dies instantly.

Premix simply removes the pump that took oil from the oil pan to lubricate the internal seals such as the apex seals, corner seals, and side seals, and replace it with a separate oil mixed with your fuel.

how much oil do you put in to a tank of gas?

and what oil is saposed to be used when premixing?

VietFC

If you're still running a factory OMP, then do about 1oz of premix to 3-4 gallons. If you remoevd the OMP, do about 1oz per gallon. The premix you should use is anything that is TC-W3 certified. I just use cheap walmart stuff. It's liek 97cents for a 16oz.

ok this is my thing. i have a J-spek motor and i put on a worked A-spek TB. they open up opposite of each other.so now when i give throttle with the A-spek its closing the OMP and opening when off throttle.

what kinda mix could i use with this problem? its like its there but then its not

VietFC

has having the OMP open at opposite times affect your driveability at all? if not.. you should just use that same mix. If so.. i think you have a more important problem then trying to decide your premix ratio with OMP.
