Is it possible to have a small electric pump and small oil tank to feed the turbo and return directly so you don't have to connect to your engine oil system?

Pros:

1. You could have the pump run on a timer so you wouldn't need a turbo timer, only a pump timer. No hassle with waiting to shut off your engine after a hard run.

2. You avoid oil sending unit headaches (like breaking the sender inside the block like I did)

3. You avoid oil return headaches

4. Keeps the engine oil cooler since that hot turbo oil isn't there

5. Makes installing a turbo A LOT easier

6. Could incorporate a small cooler

cons:

1. oil pressure wouldn't change with rpm

2. would take up some under hood space

3. more expensive then the standard system

I think I will look into making a kit like this.

 

It doesn't sound bad conceptually, but this has been brought up before and shot down for a few reasons... Search and ye shall find

 

using a GE sammich adapter takes a LOT of pains out of the turbo oil system. Drilling the oil pan is a pain in the ***, but not too bad.

 

I have sammiches in stock from GE with all sorts of adapters to $90 shipped if you want one

 

Do those adaptors supply enough oil for the turbo? Can they be used on engines that have the stock oil/water oil coolers?
