I was thinking today and until now I did not find the answer on the web. My question is, How much oil goes into the turbo from the oil feed line to the drain line. I mean I am sure it's a lot but how much. I heard from people that it's only drops of oil that goes into the turbo from the oil feed and some said a lot. Which one is true?

thanks

 

oil pressure is probably pretty high considering how hot the peashooter gets....

I snapped my feed line to my to4r on my Supra going about 130mph.... not fun to say the least... lucky the car didnt burn down completely.

 

bump comon guys??? no one knows??

 

Its a constant flow. You should always test you have oil pressure when you install a new turbo or lines. When i installed mine i left the line disconnected and had someone turn over the car. There was a constant flow of oil the size of the stream was the size of the feed line. So there is allot of oil that passes through there just so you know.

By doing this though it helps with preoiling the turbo for the first start. Of course i poored oil down the turbo also but just to be carefull i also pre oiled the lines. Just my 0.02

I cranked the car which is like what you did. but i want to know how much is the flow. is it as much as a faucet turned all the way?? or is it a thin stream of oil?

 

It is more than just drops, but it depends. GT series turbos use restrictors because they do require less oil than a non bb turbo, regardless you need a adiquate drain line so oil doesn't back up and you maintain the proper drainage.

 

break out your "oil flow faucet meter' and you'll know.. =)

pretty vague question... we already answered you by telling you that it is more than 'just drops'... now you want to know if it is more like a faucet or a thin stream of oil.. lol!

anyways, good luck.

 

why? oil constantly flows through, as wide as the oil feed line, its pressurized just like everything else.
