turbo users with ported oil pump help! tell me about your oiling situations.. good and bad with any turbo kit.
please describe how the pressure and return lines run as delivered in the kit and any mods you have done/plan to do to them.
also, have you had your turbo rebuilt and how many miles if so? thanks

Re: turbo users with ported oil pump help! what size jet? the restrictor i have currently is a .042 i think.
i am still thinking the problem was with the ls1m kits original return setup, which is what i'm trying to prove.

Re: turbo users with ported oil pump help! The shop that did my Incon twins had that same problem. The oil press. was to high (stock)pump. I have a inline restrictor was as a NOS jet! No problems and and still the tilton pump is working!

Re: turbo users with ported oil pump help! so i should run a restrictor instead of the 1/4 supply i was told.. AND run an above oil level gravity drain OR sump set up. hmm.. the other post i got going has more details on that.
i wonder what the flow is on that ls1 pressure port we use above the filter at stock psi and say 70 psi... how coul i find that out?>

Re: turbo users with ported oil pump help! Depends on the turbo, the type of seals in it, if the turbo has a builtin orifice. Most manufacturer rate there flowrate data in the 30-35 psig range. So our pressures even at idle can be a little high.
