no oil pressure?
just installed my manifold, turbo, wastegate and oil lines ... now when i crank my motor to let the oil flow through, my oil pressure gauge shows 0 still and no oil is going through the nylon line. i disconnected it from behind the block and cranked it over and it does not shoot out oil... is it just something wrong with my connections like a plugged line? any help is appreciated. thanks

Re: no oil pressure? (c2nap)
is this a new motor fresh build. Then most likely air i nthe system. you can prime the system by taking a line and feed oil backwareds through the threaded fitting just pump it through and then crank it a few times and it should kick it off

Re: no oil pressure? (xenocron)
IF this is a brand new turbo install, cranking the motor will not make enough pressure to make oil come out of the feed. This scared the **** out of me when I did my turbo install, I thought something was wrong.
just start the car, but only let it run for a few seconds, enough that oil starts coming out of the feed. Then connect it to turbo and your good to go.
