oil return for low mount twin turbo's

[ray jr]

i have a twin turbo setup that has the turbos sitting low. they are 88's. my question is do you think if i run -10's off my turbo's then go to a tee, then come out of my tee -10 to a weldon oil pump , then out of the pump to a -10 fitting in my oil pan, will that be good enough to get the oil returned? thanks ray

That seems like it would work...maybe even adding a small reservoir (vented to atmosphere?) before the pump to make sure the pump doesn't start sucking oil out of the turbo instead of just letting it drain and then pumping it back to its source.

What type of oil setup are you using for the motor? If you're using a drysump, just dedicate one of the stages for the turbo feed and return.

For a wetsump the first thing I said would work.

I am just offering up ideas by no means should you just listen to what I have to say...just figured I'd start off the discussion.

Ray, the best thing to do would be to do drain into a reservoir, and then pull the oil out of the reservoir with the weldon pump. With a t or y setup, a pump sometimes wants to draw more oil from one turbo than the other.

what type of resevoir are we talking about ? is this something i can get at summit or would it have to be fabricated? thanks for your input

I'm not sure if it is somthing that you can get at summit or not. Robert at www.chiseledperformance.net is building mine. Give him a call, and tell him that I sent you.

Thanks,
