Vortech self containment?
Vortech self containment? Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone had used a self contained oil system for a vortech or well fabbed one up, or is everyone just pulling from the motor?
Thanks in Advance.

yes I am aware of that just wondering anyone had used something similiar to a nitous 2 gall tank or anything to self contain them. I know of a few that had, was just looking for some more.
never heard of such a thing.
you can try this and do a search, superchargersonline.com
i'm sure you can probably fab up something but it will probably be more trouble than its worth.

It's doable like Got Me SOM said, but what are you trying to accomplish? The only real goal would be lower overall blower temps, right? You also might get some more durability out of the blower, but how would you know you could attribute that to the dedicated oil system? Overall, it's just another set of things to break. One alternate I've thought of was an inline oil cooler right before the Vortech. Another possibility could be building an air box around the blower you could circulate cool air through.
The question was worth asking, at least.

point he is trying to make is if the motor bites the dust and sends metal through the oil it wont make it to the s/c

Although thats not to say in a major bang, it will catch everything

I got an M20x1.5 to -4 adaptor, and Tee'd into a mechanical guage, and the blower.
