Aviation oil pump

[jeepin270]

I was wondering if anybody is running one these pumps from turbo performance. I really don't have a lot of faith in the napa pump that I am running now. How much oil pressure does the garrett turbos require.

PM Silber on here. He can get you hooked up.

I will be running one, most people I talked to have had no problems one guy's quit working they some how realized and quickly switched back to the napa before the ride.

what number is the napa one?

 

[jeepin270]

Not sure wut the part # is. I brought it to napa and they had it. I ride with a spare now. Wuts the ideal oil pressure for these turbos?

 

[jeepin270]

Its called, facet posi-flo. Universal electronic fuel pump

WALBRO FRA-4 is what you want, they have 8-13 psi.

That will work great. However walbro is out of stock of them at this time.

I dunno about pressure, anyone have an idea? I cant decide weather or not to use the restrictor that came with the line attachment kit I ordered,

If I put a pressure gauge on the oil line will I even get a reading? how low is it?

Do you know if there is a issue running a FRB-4, the main difference being it has a built in replicable filter.

Your kit sounds very well thought out and tested Justin, you must have spent a wack of time on R&D, I am sure it is going to be good season for you.

I had one and it failed. Cost 600 to get the center section rebuilt. I would drop the cash for the silber or boon docker unit

From Garrett's website on FAQ:
"Oil pressure entering a ball-bearing turbocharger needs to be between 40 psi and 45 psi at the maximum engine operating speed."

I know people are getting away with less than that amount. I'm only running 45lbs on my journal bearing turbo.

mine shows basically 0 until its wound up pretty good then it shows about4-5 psi and if i recall thats all silber said these require. i may not be remembering perfectly.. i have always wanted to find a higher flow pump.. maybe run 2 of silbers pumps in tandem?

That is wut mine does, Justin said I could run a heavier oil. Waiting for snow to see if that helps.

 

[taylorbok]

so wtf is the deal here? pressure or not?

My T800 silber pro shows 3 psi at idol cold . Then going down the trail goes up to 8-9 psi. In my experience with garret ball bearing turbos they need very little oil . I have never had one go down on me. I use 0-30 syn. oil.

 

[taylorbok]

should I use a restrictor? is that aviation oil pump from turbo boyz going to suffice?

Does silbers kit come with the oil pressure guage? Or you added it..

 

[RMK-King]

^His kit comes with a pressure gauge, or his IQ kit I had did anyways. My oil pressure was 3-6psi, I have not heard of one failing running those pressures.

 

[brycter]

the 40- 50 psi figure is for the journal bearing turbo's. our pump runs 4-8 psi depending on the oil you run. these are also solid state with no driver board.

The Pro kits don't come with a gauge. It is not necessary to use one. I just like the idea of checking on start up .

Here is the gauge I us . Just T it off the oil line to the turbo and run a line to were you want to mount it .
