Need /4 oil pump and pressure line advice, Need to plumb oil to turbo--how?? Options

[Mueller]

I am rebuilding my motor for a turbocharger.

The motor will be using the stock cam so my RPM redline will remain the same as that on a stock normally asperiated motor.

1) Should I replace the stock oil pump?

2) If so, with which one?

3) Will non-stock pump need to be modified?


I need a constant oil flow for the bearings of the turbo.

4) What are my options for getting this oil?

5) Can I plumb into the oil pump?

6) Is there a place on the block I can tap into for the oil?


Thanks,

Mike

The only reason I say Melling... they are asy to get and work very well when you have a front mounted cooler.

Mark,

Do you have horror stories about the Mellings ?? I have neved had any issues with them (other than leaking).. but the O ring cured that many moons ago.

I want Mike to step up in the oiling department and didnt feel that the Melling would hurt him.

Bernie,

The oil return line for his Turbocharger is much smaller than a return line you woulf have coming from a remote oil cooler. I would just use a Mocal sandwhich plate with the built in bypass/thermostat.
