So, I got to thinking this week about how I'm going to cool my turbo oil most efficiently. I came up with a few ideas however this one really struck home with me and the guys.

We want to have a separate oil system just for the turbo that way I don't have to tap into the stock oil pan and don't have to buy a new one either.

We figured we'd run a oil cooler where the old A/C condenser went and I'd fabricate a oil box and filter system, The only issue we came up with in this area was how to pump the oil. Does anyone have any decent ideas for a mechanical way to pump the oil thats NOT electric, we don't want to run into any issues with a secondary electrical pump that could let go and ultimately seize our turbo however we do want a separate oil cooling system to run the oil cooler and eliminate the need for a turbo timer.

Discuss.

 

seems to me you are trying to reinvent the wheel. if you talk to some of the hot rod honda guys, that have exp with dry sump/external oil pump systems you may get what you are looking for there.
