Hey boys,
Having soursed all the gear, I'm just waiting to get my 80 back from the panelbeaters before the turbo install starts. In the meantime I have a few quesations regarding oil and water supply and return lines.
Please correct me where I'm wrong but I plan on getting the oil supply by "T"ing of the oil pressure sender and returning it to the upper sump area. With regards to this, is it safe to tap into the sump without removing it and where is the best place on the sump to fit the return line - obviously above the oil level is a start. Also, those of you who've fitted turbo's to your 80s, how have you regulated oil pressure to the turbo and what pressure? Any tips or pics is much appreciated.
As far as water supply, I was going to tap into the engine side of the thermostat housing for the supply but not sure where to connect the retun line.
For those that may be wondering, my setup will use a GT3582R with Safari manifold and custom water to air IC. Should be a ball tearer in 6-8psi and I'll keep you posted.
Any help with this is much appreciated.
Cheers,
Nath
