Z10 Products seles a little fitting thingymajig that alows you to run the oil feed directley from the oil pump. Would this be better than off of the oil sending unit?

I think I heard peeps talking about this recently. Only problem would be the turbo is getting unfiltered oil from that point.

Also, wouldn't that drop oil press. too? Sense it is running straight off the pump itself?

TUrbo's only need about 10-12 PSI at the max... it might just be bettr for th turbo to have a good bit less pressure than the motor? <shrug>

you know, I'm going crazy on this. I bought the Z10 fitting. Damn you have to take the alternator off to get to the fitting and i decided not to use it cause you have no filter for your oil then.

I talked to majestic and they said don't worry about the oil pressure to the turbo with a -4 AN line since the hondas make at most 80psi and that still wont blow a turbo. Then other say you need a restrictor. Can't seem to get an answer as to where to get one of those either!

Someone have a reasonable answer here???

I now have my oil coming teed off the oil sending unit behind the block and have my oil pressure gauge on the fitting near the vtec solenoid. I may take it off there and put it teed on the inlet to the turbo so I can see the pressure to the turbo at all times. Is that a good idea???

WykidEH

Yeah the Turbo doesn't need much but, if you have a Vtec engine, it's need it.

Yeah GruvyTune, tee it into the line that runs to the turbo. That way you'll know if there is a oil problem right at the turbo. This turbo stuff isn't as easy as they made it sound in the pamphlet!!!!
