Rear mount oiling...advice requested
Rear mount oiling...advice requested Running a pair of rear mounted turbos obviously requires special attention with regards to oiling. My current thought process is to have a line rin from above my filter, to a "t" in the rear, and to feed each turbo...then run a -6 drain from each turbo to a "y" block and to a -8. From there, mount a Welden 9200, continue -8 to a check valve and into the upper portion of the oil pan. Ant thoughts on if this will work or be sufficient?
Is there some type of low oil/pressure buzzer or indicitator I can add? Is one turbo likely to get more oil than the other? Will I suck too much oil, jeopardizing anything else?
Any input appreciated.

Sold old traditional front mount twins to try new adventure. These are 76mm turbines and compressors(To4E) on a forged 408 with all necessary chassis, fuel and driveline upgrades. Basically left an expected 1000 rw system for this 700+ system (goals).
I learn as I go, and as usual, Im going somewhere new again so I like the input the forums usually provide. I considered Incon location but the turbos are too big so were back by the axel now. I really just need to better comprehend the oiling system so to give it its best chaance of being successful. Basically, I could use a schematic. I contacted STS about being part of this (Brandon??) and though they sounded interested, they didnt return calls or email requests which is too bad. I spoke with Rick in Oct '03 and he said twins were just not necessary, so wanting twins, I went another direction at the time...now Im back to do this for ***** and giggles. Something to keep busy with until I can no longer hold back the desire for a C6 TT.
Long an d short of it, I need someone that has done it to better guide me or add input since there is no information as good as from those who have bumped into brick walls or pit falls. You know who you are...Sly, Flipper...Etc. Lets hear it! Where and what type of check valve..where should I mount it...where and what low pressure indicator...what should the design look mlike and why. Just want opinions!!!

J,
I still think that setup will require some kind of return pump to get the oil back. Not much gravity to get it back to the pan.
You got the right idea getting it there though.

Ok here's what I did. Pretty similar to your setup, however to monitor oil pressure I ran a tri gauge pod with Boost, AF Ratio and, Oil Pressure. The oil pressure gauge came with it's own sensor so I mounted it at the back of the car and ran the wiring back there. Only problem with this, is that you have to monitor the oil pressure yourself. I used a weldon return pump as well. As for the check valves, I just went to the auto store and searched through their array of PCV valves for one with a 3/8's in/out and put it on the pressure line. The oil pressure should equalize between the two turbo's as long as there are no restrictions to each of them. Other than that the rest sounds good to me.

i have no idea what that would involve but it sounds less complicated
