Finished install of my FP Red. I'm going to take it to AMS for a full dyno tune but after I installed, I took it for a test spin to make sure all was running correctly. I refilled fluids, checked all hoses and rechecked everything. I let it idle for about 10 mins to make sure nothing was looking odd and only after that did I take it down the road making sure to keep it under 10 psi boost untill I get it tuned. I automaticaly noticed my oil temp rising and then spike. I pulled over and rechecked my oil. All was good and oil level looked fine. I did notice my fan came on but I cant understand why. All my fluid levels looks good and I was not driving hard at all. I did not clamp down on my oil or coolant lines too tight durring install. I did drain alot of antifreeze durring install but I refilled it.

Q. My new turbo is installed, now what?
A. Before starting the motor, it is important to get an adequate supply of oil through the turbo. To do this, disable the ignition or injectors (different for various cars) so the car is able to crank without firing. Crank the motor over for 30-45 seconds in 10 second intervals. This will pre-oil the turbo, and prevent premature thrust bearing failure.

How would I do the above?

Any ideas on what might be causing this?

 

I just installed a FP Green this weekend. I unhooked my injectors and did it that way to prime my turbo with oil. I do not have the fluctuation in oil pressure either so Im not sure what happened to yours

 

just did what you said, and it fixed it. Thanks so much. Was an easy fix.
