remote mount Oil Return?

[Mattsv8_03]

Hey guys youve been prety helpful so far. i searched this out but all i really say was the oil drain if in the front. What are people using for a rear mount turbo to return the oil to the pan? Its a t88 if that matters the return is in the drivers side of the pan sbc. thanks. guys.

sur-flo is what I used.

where do you get that at?

Be careful. Not all electric oil pumps are designed for pumping hot oil and hot oil is what comes ut of the turbo. Just be careful and only use spur gear or gerotor type pump. Diaphragm pumps are not designed for pumping hot oil continuosly.

EDIT: Found one here (not cheap though)

well I've been thinking of using my old holley red fuel pump.  It probably won't work, but I'll sure try it.  It's all metal parts in the pump part but I don't know if the heat of the oil will bother it.  I may try rigging a small transmission cooler between the turbo and fuel pump to cool the oil down before it gets to the pump.  Stupid idea?  Most likely... but I'll try it.

Your only issue will be viscosity of the fluid you'll be trying to move and the pump's design to move a very thinner fluid than oil.

IF you can figure out what STS is using.  The one I seen looked alot like the RB racing setup I see in the link.

By the way, that link has a TON if information in it.  Everybody should check it out.  THey do a ton of R&D on everything turbo related.

Same as the other guy said about the different viscosities between oil and fuel. The oil will be too thick and will strain the heck out of the motor inside the fuel pump. If you are going to rig up a cooler, do it AFTER the return pump. If you do it before, then you risk the chance of the oil backing up into the turbo due to the restriction.

Type in Westech scavenging pump on your search.  3 years, continous, daily driver, no problems.

I'm pretty sure they use a Tilton differential cooler pump.

Is this the STS pump?

That is a pic from their web site.  YOu can see it has the brass pump section just like the RB racing unit.  I'm not sure if RB makes this or what.

I found a real strange page of a company that imports UK stuff or sum like that. They happen to have all the Mocal oil cooler line and a Mocal electric oil pump Thats a diaphragm pump but it´s advertised as high temperature capable up to 300 degrees (don´t know if thy are celcius or fahrenheit being it a british product).

And found while writing this another site with them products for yall

These mocal and the tilton sell for the same price but the mocal is advertised for 300 degrees and the tilton for 265. Being the two diaphragm pumps i don´t like em to much.

i contacted tillton their pump is great. its less than 200 bucks. will pump 60psi will create vacume in the line before which will allow me to use a oil cooler right after the turbo  which will help the motor and turbo last longer. they said people use their pump for that all the time. also since it creats its own vacume and pressure smaller line could be used like -6 or -8. instead of -10.
