Alternative Oil Feed - 3000GT/Stealth International Message Center

VR4-GASM · 07-24-2008, 10:26 PM

Well I thought I had bought all the parts, but it turns out that I forgot the TT oil housing. Is there another way to get oil to the front turbo? The only thing that I could think of is tapping it into the front head (right under the vavle cover). Like with DSM's.

Or, not sure if this would work, somehow splitting the rear oil feed bolt to go into both turbo oil feed lines.

It's kinda too late to buy the oil housing now. I need my car driving by Monday. Any ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Just check to see what local dealerships have the oil housing in stock. If you can't find it locally, call up a few dealerships and get them to overnight you the part (with Saturday delivery).

The oil housing costs around $30. Even with overnight shipping, that is going to be a cheaper option than custom SS lines from the rear joint. I suppose you can try running that in an emergency for a few days, but I don't think I'd permanently feed both turbos from the rear.

yeah feeding the turbos like that might end up starving one of them the oil they need under a good pull. just play it safe and get the oil housing

Alright. I'll stop by the dealership today. Since I have to go out and get some things welded.

Housing's on. All the lines done. Next is random plates/brackets. resistors, exhaust, fuel pump, and put all the obvious stuff back on. Hopefully get an ECU by Monday. Tune it if needed. Then shit my pants!

Thanks guys!

sounds like a plan

green-lantern · 07-26-2008, 11:48 AM

good luck!

Just be careful and patient when you do the fuel pump. Breaking or twisting the line is a real easy way to set you back a few days. The other stuff should be pretty straight forward. Good luck.
