Oil cooling question!
Turbo Mini Forums

I've just bought a turbo technics setup, the person who was using it last was running 2 oil systems. So his normal engine one with a oil cooler, the a secondary one with a oil cooler feeding something else, I'm guessing it was just for the turbo, has anyone seen this before?

Not sure if it's necessary using a separate oil system for the turbo.
Most set ups I know of use the engine oil for the turbo. Some don't even use oil coolers!

Second system would surely need a second pump for a start and all seems a bit unnecessary. Depending on the use, many don't even use a cooler these days, particularly with new oils.

It has got a pump mate, it's a full oil system, just unsure on what It was cooling.

Have you asked the seller?

IMO and experience its not needed for our application in the A series turbo engine a 6 row cooler is more than up to the job for the whole engine and gearbox on the road and a 13 row for track use giving it some beans. the optimum oil temp for power is 100c but most only get to around 85c on average

Can't get in touch with the seller as the guy I bought it off bought the engine all ready turbo'd and didn't no much about it, I'll probs just do away with it
