APS turbo oil draining system????
Hey guys,I was wondering if any of you that have upgraded to the LG turbos or other, were having any problems with the stock APS oil draining system ,like turbo smoking or what have you ?Im waiting on my LG turbos as i write this and am thinking of putting a scavanging system on my ride while the K member is out because im not trying to hurt these $2800 new turbos and have to drop the K member again LOL Im running a 2 breather setup now on my valve covers,so i dont think crank case pressure is a issue at this point with this current gravity setup .Im just wondering if the drain location in the oil pan isnt maybe a little high for where these turbo sit?. Im looking at getting some input from you APS f body guys as to wheather you think a scavanging setup would be a waste of money or not?
Thanks as always !Barnat

negative ghost rider. They gravity drain, although not much decline to them.

F body kits have gravity some other cars kits have pumps. LG said 10/12 needed scavenger on the f bodies so it sounds like good idea. Thats why I bought one and plan to put in on ,likely after upgrade to same turbos as Barnat and others. Just waiting on a bit of dyno and track and reliability feedback.
I think I am getting some smoke on decel have to double check myself just buddy lookin at car as I went by under boost and it might have been rich smoke.I am very rich on decel.
You shouldn't hurt the turbos Ed by trying things with no recirc. If you start to see smoking then add it on.

so barnet, you are making a drain pain. then having the pump pick it up from there? why not just pick it up for the turbos?
also i think your idea is great. you just will probly need to run a nother quart in it.
with you plan where are you going ot run it back into the motor at?

I also had to make a fuel reg and tranny breather bracket because my scavanging pump is going to sit right where my fuel reg use to be .Heres a pic of that too that i just finished up today and painted.It actually worked out pretty too, because it hides that open space in my engine bay where all my vac lines and stuff were exposed before
