Im thinking of STS rear mount on my bird since it fast on /off the car

And I can retain AC…stock every thing…

But what im reading is the hassle with the oiling the turbo

All the way to the back of the car.

And thought of a separate oil reservoir and electric pump
Since the turbo will not get that hot in the firs place.

Im new to the boost community and don’t know if some one did this
Or any harm in doing it?

You should check the new comp Oil-less turbos
Search Raymer @ Unleashed theads he's using these turbos on all if his rear mounted builds and working great too..

You would need 1 pump to feed the turbo, then another pump on the return side to pump it back into the resevoir.

You would also need to regulate the pressure going into the turbo from the feed pump.

i would think that making a complete separate oiling system would be more of a hassle than feeding from motor. i have front mount turbo with exapump for return, and feed coming from the block off plate above oil filter. wasnt hard, for rear mount you should just need longer lines.

The oil less turbo is a grate idea but I am stuck with a normal turbo
I was thinking of a small oil reserve and a small pump and just circulating
The oil.

Will see how it go's I might by the oil less turbo and save on weight

If the return oil is not pumped out, it will seep around the seals and smoke out the exhaust. If it's not pumped in, you wont have enough pressure to provide adequate lubrication. This is why you'd need 2 pumps. You could probably get away without a cooler since the oil isn't running thru the motor.

If the turbo could be mounted high enough, you could technically have a reservoir directly under the turbo connected to the drain and a single pump to provide pressure to the feed side. If you put a cooler on the pressure side, it would cool the oil before it entered the turbo. Adding some sort of fins to the reservoir would probably help out too.
