oil line for turbo

[colacan]

Need alittle help finishing my turbo setup, cant really figure out how to send oil to the turbo with the adapter I have...I have a small circular fitting for incoming oil and a pressure line for outgoing to the oil pan but I cant figure out if I need another oil pump for the turbo or I can mount it to the oil sender.

generally you just need to thread in a tee to the oil filter housing where the pressure sensor is. use an adaptor fitting to go from the tee's 1/8" npt to -4an and use a braided steel -4an line to the turbo. the engine oil pressure will push plenty hard enough, and you should have a restrictor inline on the turbo also. post a pic and i'll make sure you are on the right track.

For mine I made the first one, then went down to the local Hotrod shop and bought it. What you need is an M12x1.5 to 1/8'' NPT adapter and an 1/8'' ''T''.
The metric side will fit perfectly into your stock oil pressure sender bung, you do not need to re-hook up that sensor(I have had it off for about 7 months W/O a problem or light on). You should use an aftermarket OPS, relying on the stock one could be lethal to your turbo charger, it won;t let you know anything until it is too late anyway. That is where you will use the "T".

Here is my adapter I made:

You may want to consider an oil cooler after the turbo, before the pan, to reduce those temps a bit. it could be after the radiator to prevent any rise to water temps or restriction of cooling air flow. Aftermarket tranny coolers are cheap and effective.

Obviously not a major problem; however the Turbo in my truck cooks the oil (and that has an oil cooler!)

Just a suggestion...

Best is weld a 1/8 aluminum plate in the baffle area and tap and put a return line. Second best is tap and put a return line in the baffle area. Baffle area in US is high left side of motor towards rear.
