hey what up fellas. im just wondering if any of u guys that bought that sandwitch thing for the oil feed line have tryed it out yet. i seen it and bought it but im still waiting for it and to put the turbo on my car. hoping that thing will work so i dont have to tap the oil pan 2 times, anyways any input on that Sandwitch thing would be nice.
thanks
i have mine but sorry havent hooked it up yet but it looks like it should work fine but im still gathering turbo parts let me know how youres goes
Why would you have to tap the oil pan 2 times if you didn't have it ???
i was thinking the same thing
its just as easy to add a T to the pressure sender and run your pressure line and save alot of $$$ too
well i know that the T for the oil feed would work, but i had told a friend about this sandwitch and he said sounded pretty solid sounding. the reason i said i would have to tap the pan 2 times is at that time i forgot about this other option do just do the T off the oil sender, but another thing is i have already bought this sandwitch item so once i get all my stuff together imma try to hook everything up.only things holding me back right now from slapping the turbo set up on is oil feed/return's , down pipe, and i wanna atleast get a walbro 255 fuel pump be4 i drop the setup in it.then after that i'll worrie about injectors. but thats when im pushing more boost ,as of right now if i put it on it would be like 3-6 pounds of boost only. but 3-6 is better then NO boost ; ]
any ways thanks for the input.
umm on this sandwich adapter thing it does get pressurized meaning it will work just fine or should in theory..
no offense but listen to Shifted,he is highly respected around here and knows what he is talking about

Unless there is a motor or a pump on it, meaning you have to wire it in, then it won't get pressurized fluid from the pan. Physics says its just not possible, you can't move liquid from a lower vessel into a higher vessel without a pump or pressure. The lower vessel is the pan, the higher one is the turbo.
Now after just looking up the "sandwich", it does not tap into the pan, its an adapter that fits on the oil cap (goes between the cap and the block). That would work, but how you described it previously as tapping into the pan for your oil feed won't.

Exactly what is going to get your motor blown. A bigger pump cannot make up for stock injectors, but bigger injectors can make up for a stock pump... I dyno'd 240hp and 280ft-lbs at 10psi on my stock pump with 440cc injectors and it was running pig rich at 60psi of fuel pressure. You don't need to replace the pump if you correctly size the injectors...
