Same.

 

bump

 

always made it 4 qts even

 

Anyone help me i have a large problem i have project car i would like to finish by 2/27/05 and i need some help first i need a front mount reasonaly cheap and a info on shave a block down for turbo clearance

 

you mean notch the block? all you do is take a grinder and shave off part of the webbing on the motor. just enough so the turbo wont rub. get a johnny racecar fmic. like 180 shipped . i customized a starion fmic to get 2.25 endtanks

 

any other inputs ?

 

i don't think oil lines and the turbo holds 1/2 quart, its probably around 1/4 of a quart, maybe a bit less, but i would just do 3 3/4 and not 4 quarts

 

alright then, i guess ill stick to 3.75 qt then

 

Ya I would think your oil feed/return/turbo itself and if you have a mechanical would be just about (little under) a quarter quart

what mechanical thing are you talking about ?

 

mechanical oil pressure gauge, cant believe I forgot to put that lol

 

I put regular Mobil 1 - 10w40 for $1.18 /bottle .... car holds 3.5 Qt, dont put more than 3.75 ...as for how much the turbo holds - put 3.5 Qt and see where the mark on your dip stick is so add a little more ... on mine stock D16Z6 with 3.5 qt it goes up to the upper mark

if you put 4 qt then your oil will rise its temperature - not much, but you don't want it hotter but rather cooler

 

Your oil temp will decrease with more oil obviously, more surface area, more mass for the molecules to lose speed hence cooling down

I put 4qt in mine because I aint boosted and she eat a quart every 550-600km/s

 

obviously it won't!
-&gt; more oil -&gt; need more time to cool off -&gt;keep higher temperature

Also, the speed of the molecules does not depend on mass, it depends on density, temperature, mixtures... Learn some physics

 

did an oil change today to see. i did 3.75 and it worked out fine. did 3.5 first, started car for 10-15sec. turned off, checked dip stick, added another 1/4. and it was all good.
