stand alone turbo oil system
Hey what do you guys think of this. I was considering making a complete stand alone oiling system for my turbo. The system would consist of a seperate oil resevior (size unknown), a 65 psi constant pressure pump, a seperate oil cooler (if needed), a vent (if needed) and scavenge pump (if needed).
The idea would be to keep the turbo lubricated with a clean and idependent supply of oil. By using the electric pump, I could use the turbo timer to run the pump for 5 mins vs the engine. I also have a small electric water pump plumbed into my heater hose that will also run for a few minutes after shutdown to help eliminate heat soak. By tying the two into one circuit, I could just have the turbo timer run both pumps instead of the car.
We all know how contaminated the oil in our engines gets after very few miles. Do you guys think that by having this stand alone setup, the life of the turbo will be increased and/or effiecincy increased.
Just something new to think about.
