So im turboing my ls-vtec and am wondering if running oil from the oil pressure sensor to my turbo and head is gonna be enough oil or will it starve both head and turbo?? any thin helps guys thanks!

 

any help?

 

that will work just fine..

 

anyone else??

 

I would suggest a sandwich adapter on the oil filter housing, I ran into this same dilema except I was trying to add an oil cooler on to it as well....I decided to get an oil temp sensor first and see if I even need an oil cooler because I switched to BB and the temps should be lower because the oil is no longer acting as turbo coolant....I was going to drill and tap the filter adapter to feed the head and feed the turbo from the sender hole....Some will say its ok to do it all from the sensor but how many of them have actually measured their oil pressure at the turbo at 8000 rpms? I know turbos dont take and extremely large amount of pressure or flow but its not worth the risk to me, gt35rs aren't cheap....plus it kinda avoids having a bunch of tees and oil lines running every which way under the hood...

....if Im not mistaken I think you can get the GE sandwich adapter with any variation of the paticular size holes you want, up to 3 I think?...Then you can leave your pressure sensor hole for just your pressure sensor(s)

 

my friend ran it of his sending unit to the ls/vtec, turbo, and a oil pressure gauge it has been like this 4 the last year and the oil pressure reads just fine.. a sandwich plate is a more expensive rought but its you car.. both ways work..

 

thank you to both of you guys, i broke down and bought a sandwich plate because im adding oil pressure gauge too,, oil sensor, oil to the head,, oil to turbo,, oil to pressure gauge,, ill play it safe and 2 on each.

 

Im not saying that it is bad to run it off the sensor, my first turbo ls was run that way with no problems....the only issue I ever had was when I was 16 I paid a shop to install an oil pressure gauge and they teed the sensor hole with a npt plug and hung that big *** sender unit right off of it. first trip down the track It broke off. no harm to the motor just the cost of a tow and a night at the track wasted. that was over 10 years ago though and I think just about everyone now knows that that isnt the correct way to do it.
