Default Turbo scavanger pumps?


Hi. Due mostly to the complexity of the n/a-to-turbo conversion, I am not able to get the oil drain hole straight up & down. So I am wondering about recommendations and specs for an appropriate scavenger pump. How to determine appropriate flow rate? Thanks. Note: this is a different turbo than stock.

I can't offer any help... but what is that pipe coming out from under your manifold for?

Shortyboy is correct. I had a lot of difficulties mounting a universal Ebay kit in the car. In the end this is what I came up with.

Agreed, interjecting a lot of heat where it is not needed. Thought it would be pretty straight forward, get a 951 header, x-over, down pipe, and left side engine carrier.

That's an idea I'll consider down the road. Thanks for the advice.

If it is a down hill run to the crank case I would say it is not necessary. I know of a car that required one but it was a rear engine car. You can generally tell because the oil pressure will defeat the seals and you will start smoking.
