4agze s/c oil feed for turbo

[l1ttle_d3vil]

can the oil feed sandwich plate thing for the supercharger off an aw11 4agze be used as an oil feed for a 4agte? or will it be too big...? T2 series turbo...

never heard anyone say to use it, everyone seems to get oil feeds from elsewhere so i'm wondering if theres a reason not to use it?

cheers

you could always just run it from oil press switch taping?

not familiar with you're setup but sandwich plates can take up a bit of room on a fwd Turbo.

The s/c has its own oil.
The sandwich plate is probably for the oil cooler built into the radiator.

Most people tap into the oil press switch I think.

this is the thingee i'm talking about... 10mm line coming off it at the moment but I could probably get anything made up if thats too big.

will just set it up off the pressure switch if this isn't suitable.

thats for your oil cooler. you may not have room with a turbo but it should work.

IMO,

get rid of it, run the filter against the block.

if you wanna run a cooler use a sandwich plate but mount the filter and cooler remotely.

It'll give you more room to work the manifold etc, upto you though

as said thats just the oil cooler. only the early 4ages and zes seem to have it.
easier to get rid of it all together,
run the turbo oil feed from the oil pressure sensor drilling in the block,
put in a T piece run the sensor off the side and the turbo feed straight off the end of it

use stainless or steel fittings over brass and keep them as short as possible

that oil cooler line is working from pressure control valve - the oil only goes through that line when oil pressure is above certain level. Very bad idea to feed turbo trough it.
And return into sump is way too small.

thanks sergei, thats what I was wondering - it clears my manifold fine but there may have been another reason not to use it.

don't worry about the return line, thats still the factory ze return line in there! definitely not using that one for the turbo. getting it all setup next weekend

just done mine, i really wish i had done a remote mounted oil filter as now i will have to pull the manifold off again to do it.

I agree, no way should that be used for a turbo oil feed,
as it wont get oil all the time.
