i currently have a series 7 engine that im putting into a lotus 7 replica... but before i turbo the hell out of this less than 600 kg weapon im gunna learn how to drive her non turbo, so do i have to have the turbo oil lines connected or can i just plug the inlet and outlet?

hope that all makes sense, wish microtech would hurry up and put out the lt16 ecu

im a kiwi btw, have had this project for allmost 2 years, its within 6 months of its first drive(if i can keep focused)

thanks for the help in advance, all wisdom appreciated

and expect millions of questions heading your way in the future(i promise ill use the search function first though

IF you're not running a turbo, you should plug the feed hole or line. Leaving it open to the drain would probably result in some oil pressure loss since the turbos actually present some restriction to the oil supply in themselves.

 

ok so if i block both holes, the oil still will have a way of bypassing to complete the cycle? the last thing i want to do is plug both lines just to find out that it was the only passage and everything craps out on me

or should i join the 2 lines so oil can flow through to complete the cycle
cheers rr for your reply
thanks in advance
