16V head, oil feed from side.

Would this in the picture below work, with the oil pressure sensor?

Then AN4 to the turbo.

12th March 2013, 08:39

Yep that should work fine. What turbo (more importantly do you need a restrictor IE garrett) will you feed?

The only thing I wouldn't like there is it's sticking out quite a bit and you risk snapping the thread IMO unless you're very careful - that's a large sensor (I've never liked those) and it might be better to have it mounted remotely. I used to have my oil sensor mounted on the front lower cross member with a feed to it from a braided line off the engine - just felt it was much safer.

If you're open to ideas, you could look at using a Torques oil cooler takeoff - I've changed this year to using one as they have two small takeoff's for exactly this kind of thing:

Note the 1/8NPT ports for oil takeoff. Very good imo

Thread hijack, I just put a mocal plate on, sorry Ross, it's 1/2bsp can I put a pressure sensor on it before one of the oil pipes?

I'm now worried it's going to fall off and dump my oil

Just did some searching, is here best?

I have a oil gallery takeoff think its -AN3, atspeed sells them, worth a look as I snapped my oil press sensor taking it off (still worked) but not the point, make sure you get a proper restrictor for the oil port on turbo once you've taken the route you want to go and sourced an oil line, as too much oil getting through will just blow your oil seals and then make it smokey as hell..

There is fine Muz

Hmm. I don't actually know mate - I've only worked on JP4's and you'd normally tap that to M10 and block it off. Don't know what the standard thread size is for J4's - a search should reveal it though I'd have thought - must come up occasionally?

Its a mitsubishi td04hl-13t from a volvo, which i dont think need a restrictor.

Well, thats something that can be solved. Make a bracket around the sensor to give it some support.

A sandwich plate like that, i dont think i will have the space for it, i bought myself a 50mm oil filter so i can get some space for the dp/turbo.

Thanks

Yes no restrictive required there they can handle full oil pressure iirc.

Yeah a bracket isn't a bad idea - not sure it's the prettiest solution though but of course - up to you

what exhaust manifold are you using? With the Dp inlet I can run a sandwich plate and a renault 5 50mm filter (although now I run a remote filter - is that an option for you or are we overly complicating things lol).

12th March 2013, 18:27

307 manifold, with a cat that sits high so the manifold is shorter than my original.
Gonna make an adapter or try weld the flange onto the mani which is cast iron tho..

Was thinking of something like this, so you get the idea (this are for external fuelpumps)
If i can make something like that, or find something cheaper

So, i bought myself a T-split, for the water feed.
But im unsure, if thats a good idea to take it where im thinking of?

The yellow square is where i will split it and put in two T-splits.
I know that many use the top hose, but is the water circulation since the thermostat sits there?

IMO, it's a bad idea to use that for the turbo water supply. That is after the thermostat so does not circulate at all until the thermostat is open and water is flowing through the radiator. Some people have done it like that I remember, but I think it is better to use the water lines from the heater matrix - the pipe sizes are similar already too which is an added bonus.

13th March 2013, 09:00

But i Will use those as i dont have a external oil cooler..
Hmm..

13th March 2013, 11:10

I work with citroen, Subaru and huyndai.
so i looked at the circuit "diagram" for the water, and the hose that goes for the original oil cooler dont get water until the thermostat is Open. :-)

You'd hope not - otherwise you'd be overcooling the oil when you want the oil up to temperature ASAP. With the turbo, you want that as cool as possible - not "up to temperature" as fast as possible.

13th March 2013, 11:31

Did you missunderstand Me now?

The water fows through the hose i marked all the time, which Will cool the turbo.
so the top hose is the wrong hose as its wont circulate through that way until the thermostat is Open.

Yes - I misunderstood. I thought you were planning on using the top radiator hose to T to the turbo (which I think is not the best solution). If you are taking from the hose you highlight in the yellow box I think it's good

Sorry for any confusion
