    The stuff you have to do to make the turbo LS work is amazing. Not sure but does a dry sump system do the same thing pulling both motor and turbo if connected to it? I'd love to do this to my e36/7 M roadster getting the glorious V8 sound and turbo noise.

      That’s a good question! it might, but this is a lot cheaper than going full dry sump which is like $3000, this was $65 lol.

      @@SmooKGzuz yea, if you can see under the turbo I made a small scavenge tank, as well as a vent that does into my valve cover. I also used a smaller feed line. I bored out a ball bearing feed so that it’s a little smaller than the journal bearing feed. Works great

    Do you have a breather from the turbo sump back to a catch can or anything ? Makes sense to have one so you're not trying to pull a vacuum at the turbo drain

    • @LowBoostFilms
      @LowBoostFilms  2 роки тому +1

      Yea, I do, I have a vent hooked up that goes into the oil filler cap. I had a catch can but it did fill up quickly.

      It is okay to be under vacuum, that is the factory setup, crank case is always supposed to be under vacuum

      I had just found out that this is the reason why I was finding so much oil in the cold side of the turbo. I had a turbo timer running to “empty the collector”, but found out that this very same pump could easily pull vacuum from the sump and it would pull oil past the seal.
      The issue was resolved with adding a voltage regulator (to reduce the power to the pump, as we don’t need it to pull 3 Gal/Min), and a vent to act as a vacuum breaker.

    Great video. I was wondering if the pumps had good longevity and could be used on a daily reliably. The sump tank is sweet too.

      Thanks! I’ve put over 3500 miles on it and it’s been great so far. I’ve also sat in traffic and taken long drives as well and have never had a problem.

    • @LH-kz2nf

      Not only is the oil backing up bad on your turbo the oil being mixed with the air/fuel mixture lowers the octane rating of the fuel that's being forced into the engine. The lower octane fuel being burnt at that time can lead to detonation and you already know detonation will kill an engine quick.
      My question is does the oil reservoir prevent the pump from running dry at idle speeds or does it hurt the pump to run dry for short periods of times?

  • @wheelbasemedia5814

    I checked out the pump from your link and the specs say, 'Designed for intermittent use only. Duty cycle: 30 mins.' This would seem more like a fluid-transfer pump that a pump that could do a five-hour road trip, no?

    Doesn’t this pump only have a 30 minute duty cycle so after 30 minutes it’ll start slowing down then flooding turbo. Having issues even with a Marcos scavenge pump

    • @LowBoostFilms

      Not at all, I’ve driven it for hours at a time and it’s been fine

    • @TrojanLube69
      @TrojanLube69 2 роки тому +1

      It slows down and or shuts off for 1-3 minutes for motors to cool down then another 30 minute cycle. That’s why it’s always important to have a drain tank.

      3/8 NPT. You can buy fitting 3/8 NPT to AN10 usually or whatever other size you want. Make sure it’s NPT and not BSP. They thread slightly but not fully and you strip the threads if you force it, and it’ll leak.
