**Galant306m** · 07-19-2010, 09:51 PM

Do they make a whole line with the fittings and all....from Summit? Or is it something you have to piece out and put together?

nah i just found out that is for a 1g this time so its not so long just comes off the head and down to the turbo and connects with a 90 degree fitting.

is your turbo water cooled?

**Galant306m** · 07-20-2010, 09:14 PM

nope i like non water cooled turbo's less things to leak

**Galant306m** · 07-20-2010, 09:20 PM

does it run well yet?

**4g63lover** · 07-21-2010, 02:57 PM

You need to hit it up with some rustoleum satin black bro. The wheel paint they offer has a real nice satin finish.

I too run a dry bearing turbo. I chose to feed off the oil filter housing instead of the head.

Cleaner, cooler oil, more oil pressure, and a much higher volume of available oil.

The galley on the exhaust side of the head(that the stock turbo is fed from) is literally the very last in line for oiling. This means the oil within it is the dirtiest, and hottest oil in the engine. Also important, is that the oil pressure is much lower up there.

This isn't a problem for the factory turbo's because they have built in oil restrictors. Water cooled turbo's need a low volume and lower pressure of oil.
They literally only use the oil for lubrication.

Your dry bearing turbo uses oil for lubrication and cooling. I'm not saying it will kill your snail by running it THAT way,
I'm just saying I've run mine THIS way for 4 years at all kinds of boost levels. Daily driven. I have no more shaft play than the turbo had brand new(which is only there for oil clearances)

Anyways, can't wait to see some videos.

yea i head ya and i wanted to run it off the oil filter housing but i can not get the damn bolts out of there we are pretty much doing this just to get it running and driving i got stuff to clean up on it so i think when i get it running right ill switch it over with a oil filter housing adapter.

Im having the same problem with it only running on 2-3 i think that the ignitor may be bad just from what i have been reading on the internet its flooding here right now and i can't get a new one till tomrrow so we will see. i could post up a vid of it running on 2 cyls lol if you guys want to see it running.

Did you get the new oil line on? Is it leaking anywhere?

**Galant306m** · 07-22-2010, 09:03 PM

yea its on the banjo bolt that i had to use was a little small so i have to get a adapter for it tomorrow but true value did not have them but tims bumper to bumper has some that will work that im going to grab one tomorrow and get a new power transistor too
