I've read everything I could find in the archives but still haven't found a firm answer to whether it is a bad thing to put the turbo in the same oil circuit as the oil cooler.
Doing that would starve the turbo of oil flow till the thermostat opened the circuit.
If you don't use the thermostat, I understand there can be negative consequences.

My Application: B16a/T3/04E 50 trim,7 x 14 oil cooler, 5 1/2 quart Oil Pan Capacity, stock pump and pickup, braided line and 10 AN fittings.

I'm thinking of running 2 circuits.
One from an oil filter adapter with a built in thermostat to the cooler and back.
One to feed the turbo from the block and return to the sump in the pan.
Finally, THE QUESTION

Do I need to worry about oil pressure or flow with this setup?
Will the stock pump be able to keep up with the need if I run 2 circuits.

Thanks ahead and sorry about the long post.

I would keep the systems seperate. I also wouldn't be concerned about the oil pump not being able to power both. A pressure gauge shouldn't be overlooked though.

 

Thanks for the response.
I will put a Oil pressure sensor in the pan.
I just wondered if having 2 different loops on a closed circuit would flow properly.
Sounds like a recipe for cavitation somewhere in the circuit or maybe a stagnent loop.
Has anyone used a flow switch on their system?
Or a second pump?

dont run them 2gather just feed the turbo from the back of the block

 

get a z6 oil pump there better
