Rear mount turbo questions

Last_warrior6 · 07-28-2020, 03:18 PM

so im a few years late on the post but im also building a Rear mount kit and had some questions about getting oil back from the turbo. im in between 3 options but have heard negative remarks and was looking to clear some up if any of yall have any info it would help
Option 1= sandwhich plate to feed the turbo and return ( was told tht they are pressurised at like 80+ psi so i would need a hella strong pump.

Option 2= i was told to 'T' off the Presure sensor but that seems like it would be pressurised too, no?

Option 3= taping the oil pan ( was told nissans shouldnt be tapped cant remember the reason but that the oil needs to feed to the block not pan

thoughts comments ideas?

ive heard about the spacer but is there another way ?

You're heading the right direction - Option 1 and 2 are pressurized and might be a good way to feed oil to the turbo, but definitely not for the return. Return should go right back to the pan with a scavenge pump to get it there.

Think it would make your life a lot easier to use an oilless model like a COMP turbo.

Instead of tapping the pan, why don’t you buy a sandwich plate for the oil pan that is already tapped?

You’ll still likely need a pump to return the oil to the pan.
