General Sump Oil feed to turbo

[ianweaver]

How do you go about this, making my own tubby kit you see

You need oil feed and return to t15? and do you have to drill and tap your sump to do this?

Plenty of threads on this, but you need to take a feed from the pump to feed the turbo one of the M18 take-offs on the oil pump housing below the oil filter is utilised, very nice of Fiat to make it so easy, and then the return goes to sump.

You need a pressure feed to the tub (from one of the Hex bolts on the front of the oil pump -- can't remember OTTOMH which is which, one is filtered, the other unfiltered, you must use the filtered!) and a big fat drain to the sump. The adaptor can be brazed or welded on and needs to be as high as possible: above the normal oil level (or it won't drain properly and your turbo will die horribly).

make sure u dont have too much of the fitting inside the sump.. else when you refit the sump and turn the engine over the crank will hit the fitting.. (not that i did that.. ..honest!)

Thanks for your help guys

Have any of you lads got a reference photo of which hex bolt take off is filterred??

ty in advance

top one mate.

also i'd make the oil return to the sump 1/2" as a min. oil needs to flow out of the turbo with no restriction what so ever

This kind of flange fitting is what you really need: a gas fitters' supply house might have something similar.

I may use something like that (but bigger!) for a sump breather.

ty Arc and Fingers respectivly..

Arc, in this pic could you circle it for me , I really am a noob with mechanics and although I converted an engine in my last motor im a tad confused re turbo's

See the plan is a local enginerring firm is going to machine an adaptor plater to my standard manifold to add the wee t15 on there and same wth the downpipe.

Fingers , yh that looks ideal mate

ty again guys

Need to come forward a bit with the camera. Easy way, from the front, grab hold of the oil filter and on the block it mounts to, to the left, you should see two allen headed bolts, facing front. Top one for the turbo, bottom one is an ideal take off for the oil pressure/oil temp guages.

Don't forget the oil cooler!

instead of making up an adaptor, you will need to cut up the standard manifold and weld a plate on to the that. i've attached some pics of the manifold i had made up

get it stuck on arc

on that picture, i didnt have the sump or anything on.. and as fingers has said, its a bit too far forward. i've attached another image, and drawn an arrow pointing at the bolts.

get it stuck on arc

that is the k03 turbo which is now on caneyj's car

well get yours done

If Arc's set up has changed from what i remember i would be not be rushing either
(iirc Hi comp, Hi boost and methanol/water injection coupled with a learn as you go ECU, sorry megasquirt )

I like his stratergy, slow and careful avoids holed pistons
