I noticed there few companies making twin turbo with low mount design. Anyone have idea on the oil return issue?
If you look ? You can see an electric oil pump return..
This can go back to rocker cover so there's NO need to drill sump for oil return.. It won't be worth doing anyway due to turbo's being at about the same level... The turbo's are generally the same size they would be if fitted in engine bay.. Maybe smaller exhaust trim ?? Same A.R...
In less than 5 minutes...I'd say not just the seals, the whole bearing is gone for good. No lubrication at 60,000 RPM.The only problem of electric oil pump. If it fails... you will have massive smoke and destroy your turbo seals.
That's true. I think the oil pump can actually fail if there's not enough oil feeding it. The same concept applies for fuel pump, water pump, and now oil pump?I think the biggest issue would be the oil return. The electric oil pump is rated at certain gallon per minute. This rate is pretty much constant and set by the maker of the pump. However, oil supply is veriable due to RPM dependent. At idle not much oil from the engine and massive oil flow during redline. Where to find a medium is the key.
