ok this one if for all ya'll turbo experts .... and before ya'll all go say do some research. I am just looking for some more infor i might have over looked...
know as some of ya'll know i'm not a big fan of the swap but i am planning on building a 7afte.. now here is my question... well its 3 1. Have any of you seen or made a turbo that has a self contining oil system. As to were the oil is taking from some where else that not the engine oil pan. 2. Have you made a tubo box? That is a box that keep the heat sounder around the turbo and out of the engine bay. and so how did you and of what did you make it? 3. Has anyone tried a Vmount for the intercooler and the radiator? -------------------- |

well not sure how much this will help but.
I have seen a self contained oil pan. They had it somewhat beside the turbo to keep it heated while the turbo was running. a V mount i think is custom fabricating your bumper mounts and all. They would have to be moved out of the way so you could angle your radiator and intercooler. that would be tight if you did it but your going to have to move everything around in the front of your bay. --------------------  hows it taste motha f*cka |

1.there is a super charger kit that has its own oil system, so it can be done, with a tank, a cooler and an oil pump. 2. a simple heat sheild will help with under hood temps, the problem with a whole box, the way i see it, is that it will block a large part of the back of the radiator, reducing flow. 3. seen the v mount thing on a 240sx(jdmrice 2) and it would work, if you got a smaller radiator, stock celica radiator is pretty big, and cut the front frame/bracing, personally, if it comes down to not enough flow to the radiator, i would rather get a new bumper(gt four front end or invader style front.) its cheaper and reversible. -------------------- 1994 Celica GT4 WRC Edition

how is a ball-bearing turbo different? I thought they were pretty much self contained? Or was I led astray?

a ball bearing turbo is what the name implies, a turbo with a ball bearings inside instead of metal bushings. the cost is more but the turbo is more efficient because its easier to spin the shaft still needs oil tho, lol -------------------- 1994 Celica GT4 WRC Edition

Yes, areochargers are turbos with self contained oiling systems. They also have VATN, variable area turbine nozzles. This is one of the best new ideas in turbocharging in many many years. These things make boost MUCH faster than the best ball bearing turbos.
I wouldn't worry too much about this. If you're really concerned, get a heat blanket for the tubine. I've seen them several places, but don't recall off hand where at. Do an internet search and I'll bet you can find something. They should be much easier to install and more effective than just making a metal shield. If you still insist on making a shield, make it out of stainless. It can mount about any way you can imagine. You could even put it under the bolts that hold the turbine housing on.
Not worth anything but looks. Just buy a good intercooler to begin with and you'll be golden. Make sure you do your homework on intercoolersizing. There is a such thing as too much intercooler. I would also consider making some ducting so that all the air coming in the front of the car must pass through the intercooler and radiator, don't let any of it bleed around. |
