How are you guys with Subaru turbo engines handling your turbo oil scavenge?
I'm actually swapping into a 912, and I don't have any room for a top mount turbo, so I have to go with a bottom mount turbo. That means I'll have to scavenge it somehow. The 914 too is pretty tight engine space wise, you guys also have to run a bottom mount turbo right? A couple options are one of those electric scavenge pumps, but I hear they're crazy noisy and loud. Another option is somehow machining one of the heads and using a cam mounted scavenge pump. Or what about using a power steering pump as a scavenge pump?  |

You can always use an oilless turbo also. Compturbo
You can mount these any which way, no drain back, no, keeping bearings in proper orientation, you want to mount them in the as a skid plate more power to you. But I don't see an issue with mounting them higher than the engine, in the front. Best of luck with the swap, and (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thisthreadisworthlesswithoutpics.gif) |
