hello everyone;
i am hopefully going to put a 15g turbo on my b20 engine(1800). for simplicities sake i will use the original manifold, and connect the manifold to turbo via a short pipe going forward to turbo, ( the turbo will probably be right beside the right front wheel well. there's not much room in there). my question is about hooking up coolant and oil lines.
does the oil drain just by gravity/ oil pressure, ie. does it matter about the orientation of the turbo. i was thinking i could return the oil to where the old fuel pump was instead of modifying my oil pan. but the return line might be level with the turbo and pool back to the turbo. is this possible with out enough pressure?? is it just engine oil pressure pushing the oil through, and will this be enough to get the oil home safely??
as for the coolant. could i use a separate electric pump and separate rad to cool it?
ok thankyou, hopefully i didn't say anything too stupid
