turbo oil supply
Turbo Mini Forums

I would like to know where to get oil supply from A series engine, my engine is 1071cc. Any tips on setting up lubrication for my turbo setup?

thank you in advance

from the oil pressure gauge outlet you use a special union.

always looking for them bigger bunches of bannanas

So, do you mean i get oil from the oil pressure guage outlet , but i need a bigger adaptor.

If i use the oil pressure guage outlet as a source for the turbo lubrication, then where do i connect my oil pressure guage line to?

What about the turbo return oil, where is the best place to connect... without drilling a return hole in the gear box housing.

thank you in advance

Turbo oil return in the fuel pump hole?? I don't understand... ??, Do i have to scrafice my mechanical fuel pump...?

You can't runa turbo with the mechanical pump. They will only supply 3 to 4 psi, and you'll need 10 as a minimum.

I am using the mechanical fuel pump as a head pressure pump, then i will use an electrical fuel pump as a boost pump, on demand... I am setting up a draw through turbo system, instead of a blow through system. Cause i don't have access to find a seal carburetor, sure i can build a seal box around my cabs, but seems like lots of work, because I am running twin 1.25 SU.

why not convert a hiff 44 to turbo spec

also a mechanical pump doesnt supply that much fuel. any half decent turbo will suck it dry in no time. why not just install one pump and be done with it?

thank you all for helping me out on the turbo lubrication.

My engine is 1071 with a compression ration of 9:1.... Currently i am setting up a Garrett T03 Turbo original from a Lebaron 2.2.

The turbo is a little bit big in physical size, i have to fit it on the side on top of the clutch area.. Do you guys think this turbo is too big for this engine?? Or do i have to reduce down the compression ratio by running the turbo at higher boost. I dont know what to do?

thank you in advance

a t3 has a lot of different trim specs. some far too large, some just right. i am guessing though that the one you have is too large.

to reduce compression ratio is achieved by either increasing piston dish or modifying the chambers in the head. not sure what your on about by running higher boost?

a T3 does fit with a bulkhead box, its what the majority of users on this site fit.

i suggest you do some reading on this site as i feel your missing a few basics which may end in disaster

there's loads of useful info on here so just do a bit of digging using the search function or try the beginners section to start with.

i really appreciate for all your advise... i will do more research and see what you guys do.

I posted some pictures in the photo section, the folder name is 1071 Xavier, check it out and see my creation..not very clear picture though.

let me know if the turbo is way too BIG

thank you

theres a lebaron in freddy got fingered, i hate that film!!
