I run Turboworx pumps on all my rear mount projects. I've had one on my 2010 camaro TT since 2011 and never a problem. Every now and then, someone will have an issue with any of them but most of the time, due to bad or improper install or dirt in the system.
Longevity of these pumps. Had an sts pump. One lasted a year the other lasted 12 years. eBay one now on. Let’s count down. Vane pumps vs spur pump. Spur all the way.
I unfortunately need to get one of these……my automatic transmission blocks everything….I plumbed it into the oil pan’ for the return’ I put 4 and a half quarts’ and it’s leaking bad. I need to redirect the drain line to the oil fill on the valve cover.
Yes the turbo is below the oil pan, the motor oil pump can supply the oil to the turbo but it dose not have the power to push it back to the motor. If you don't use on you will burn up the motor it will push the oil to the turbo and go out the jurnal into the turbine
Thank you for the video. I will be ordering the Turbowerx pump. My mocal pump is so loud! How good was this pump on scavenging the oil back to the motor?
Have you checked if you get any oil pressure? It's impossible to get a replacement oil pump for my car, so I'm looking for an electric pump that works.
When I hook up the pump, I just run a line from the oil pan to the turbo and the turbo to the oil pump and anothet line back to the pan. the oil pump is in the rear near the turbo correct and I dont need to run anything else for the oil on its return trip back to the motor?
What these guys are doing is using this pump to pump the return oil FROM the turbo drain back to the tank. You cannot let a turbo drain back up, especially on a diesel. If you do the turbo starts blowing oil out the pressure side of the intake and into the engine. In a gas engine it will just smoke real bad but in a diesel it will use that oil for fuel and the engine will "run away" on you. As in you will have no control over the rpms.
It was quite a bit age when I made this video. I'm pretty sure there's something out there that will give you that. I just don't think you will find a gear pump that's quite . Look at vain pumps. Maybe a holly fuel pump or something along them lines.
Thanks Bob. We're looking to install a pre-lube pump on our Diesel Truck engines, and I came across this video during this research. Have you got any links you can share, as to where we can find these two brands, their specs, and options you are showing us here? Thanks in advance.
I followed the link in the ebay listing, to this site here for more info. on their entire product line > www.turbowerx.com/ This is the right one, correct?
Jacob Rosario not long that's y the first turbo burnt up. the pump stopped working and the oil had no ware to go and it messed up the motor to because it's starved oil for the motor. me personally I would put a turbo under the hood next to the motor so the oil go's in and then right back into the oil pan
Hey was wondering if u can help me out. Im gojng to go with turbowerx, but hiw should I wire it up. I cant do it straight from the. Attery becuz it will run oil non stop. I need to hook it up to a powersource that comes on when the egine turns correct?
When running oil to the turbo you come off the high pressure side at the motor,run to the turbo and put a oil restrictor at the turbo. Run a line from the turbo to the oil pump from the pump to a high point ot the motor (valve cover or fill hole) so the oil can dran back into the pan. You DON'T want to go to the oil pan you take a chance of oil back filling that tube then you starve the motor for oil and burn baring in the motor.
It did work vary well but if you can get the turbo under the hood so you can use the oil pressure of the motor I would do that instead. Just make sure you use a oil Restricter fitting to the turbo.
@@thunderbirdbob1 trying to move away from using the engine oil for the turbo. I had the idea of seperating the system so when I blow another turbo I won’t end up with lots of bits of turbo internals in the sump. I’ve had it happen twice now once I save the engine last time I wasn’t so fortunate
@@thunderbirdbob1 was boost spiking and blowing off intercooler pipes I believe that may have caused it as well as running the turbo hard, it just my track toy. Don’t want to go dry sump as it’s a lot of work and moving a lot of items in the bay.
That loud one is chinese and junk. I got 50,000 km out of mine, aprox 1.3 years of daily driving, but she's worn out. Lucky I caught it before it caused my diesel to run away.
Hi, can you please elaborate on your comment? I'm trying to decide on a pump for my rear mount and I was leaning towards the Turbowerx. Can you tell me the trouble you've had with them before I lay down my hard earned? Cheers

Awesome video thanks
great video I would like to see your set up when complete. Thank you
That setup is long gone. Stick with a under hood setup
Is it a "gear pump" ? How much pressure will it develop ?
Gear pump yes. Pressure it ran about 15lbs
no it dose not have a duty cycle. but it dose get Warm and its Noisy

But you don’t have any oil in them.... they’re both gonna quiet down significantly when the oil tightens up the tolerance between the gears
Yes your right but the gear pump is still loud with oil in it
Thanks for the vid
glad to help
i think i might have to use 1 of these for my turbo on my bike, since the turbo sits so low right now. was that your problem too thunderbird
Looking for an electric (operated) oil pump that can sustain 40 PSI ...
It was quite a bit age when I made this video. I'm pretty sure there's something out there that will give you that. I just don't think you will find a gear pump that's quite . Look at vain pumps. Maybe a holly fuel pump or something along them lines.
Isn't the gear pump on the right louder than it would be if it actually had oil in its gears?
I did have it mounted in the truck with oil running in it and it was just as loud thats y I got a turboworx WOW what a difference
yes but not much differences with oil in it gear head pumps are just loud in general
Thanks Bob. We're looking to install a pre-lube pump on our Diesel Truck engines, and I came across this video during this research. Have you got any links you can share, as to where we can find these two brands, their specs, and options you are showing us here?
Thanks in advance.
Steve Kluver check this out Look at this on eBay www.ebay.com/itm/151667099026
Thanks Bob. I will do that.
Steve Kluver make sure you pay attention to how it's spelled
I followed the link in the ebay listing, to this site here for more info. on their entire product line > www.turbowerx.com/
This is the right one, correct?
Steve Kluver yes
Was it tge 24v or 12v version?
12v
I just bought a eBay scavenge pump for my turbo set up it's noisy but I don't know how long it'll last especially if I drive for a long time
Jacob Rosario well with it being so noisy you will know when it stops working.
yeah I guess how long did you have yours on before you decided to switch it out
Jacob Rosario not long that's y the first turbo burnt up. the pump stopped working and the oil had no ware to go and it messed up the motor to because it's starved oil for the motor. me personally I would put a turbo under the hood next to the motor so the oil go's in and then right back into the oil pan
is this the exo pump, or the base model?
Hey was wondering if u can help me out. Im gojng to go with turbowerx, but hiw should I wire it up. I cant do it straight from the. Attery becuz it will run oil non stop. I need to hook it up to a powersource that comes on when the egine turns correct?
I tapped off the fuel pump. But make sure you run the pump off a relay. You just using the trigger from the fuel pump relay.
When running oil to the turbo you come off the high pressure side at the motor,run to the turbo and put a oil restrictor at the turbo. Run a line from the turbo to the oil pump from the pump to a high point ot the motor (valve cover or fill hole) so the oil can dran back into the pan. You DON'T want to go to the oil pan you take a chance of oil back filling that tube then you starve the motor for oil and burn baring in the motor.
does the eBay pump have a specific duty cycle or can it keep running as long as the car is running
Jacob Rosario no it dose not have a duty cycle. but it dose get Warm and its Noisy
How did it go? I’m planning on running sererate oil system for my turbo
It did work vary well but if you can get the turbo under the hood so you can use the oil pressure of the motor I would do that instead. Just make sure you use a oil Restricter fitting to the turbo.

@@Stephenc4877 if your blowing turbos up like that you need to spend the extra money and get a ball bearing turbo to get longevity out of it

I would say spend tje extra money and get a turboworx
Bob Hastrich Agreed, just gotta decide which one. I guess I can't complain, it actually lasted pretty good.
turbovanman Bought the Exa pump and it lasted 4 months, sigh.
turbovanman check out my other videos that's y I made a under hood kit I don't have to worry about a pump and all that line
Bob Hastrich I don't have that choice, no room under the hood.
do you know the turbowerx item number?
TurboWerx Part # TWX-175-12V
Price: $249.00 go to there website
Alright thank you imma try it out
I was vary happy with it vary quite. Put rubber grommets on it when you mount it.
Dont fall for the turbowerx hype. Its junk and will fail. Its only quieter at idle or low rpm also.
Junkwerx
