im in the process of getting a edelbrock turbo kit for my z6. im planning to run a oil cooler before the turbo. my question is if the i place the oil cooler somewhere in the bumper will i need a scavenge pump for the oil return?

 

No. It's a pressurized line, meaning that it doesn't need gravity or a scavenge pump to return the oil.

You better take your question to the Forced Induction Fourm. If I understand your question correctly you want to run the oil cooler before the turbo then directly to the turbo, right? If the return line from the turbo isnt a direct downward flow to the oil pan return you are going to have some problems later down the road.

 

if ur planning on the 300 or less hp range, **** turbos and go nitrous

hells yeah

 

well if ur trying something new like a do it urself turbo and uve got some money go for it

but serously, i still wouldnt do it its not worth it for that hp range. its like 2000+ for a turbo kit to make ur car gain like 100 hp. well lets see here, u can get those exact hp gains from nitrous for maybe a couple hundred. and and and turbos lag, a supercharger for like 1500 or less would be much easier, u wouldnt get as much hp gains, but u get instant boost, all hondas have is accel, so why not give it more accel power right?

You are gonna wanna put the cooler some where so it can get direct air flow. If you are gonna get a FMIC then you will have to maybe put it on the side kinda like the Mitsubishi eclipes do (90-99).

 

You can hang it between the block/tranny and the firewall on the back side.

EB kit is a good kit, but wow big $$$$, theere's about 10 other kits I'd by first... Mine cost $700 after everything...

If I wanted to put down the same #s that I put down with a turbocharger, I would be refilling my bottle A LOT and it in the end it would cost more in refills. Plus I can have power whenever I put my foot to the floor.... A SC is nice, and in the righ situations, its perfect. High intake temps are not for me tho...

As for your oil cooler, you dont need to install one untill you know that you need one. If you have an oil temp gauge and you see that your temps are over 230 degrees crusing around town and after hitting boost a lot, then look into one. Youll need a thermostat to make sure that you dont over cool the oil and if you plan on using SS lines and fittings I hope your ready to spend a chunk of change. Good luck!
