Turbo Oil Cooler

[godzl1975]

Hi all,

just took my turbos off my GTR..and was thinking as i have Trust turbos..which are only oil cooled well have oil inlet n return to n from the block as to standard turbos or HKS that use water too cool turbo as well.

Would using small oil coolers for each turbo be a good idea???or is that just was waste of time/money n effort.

ive attached a simple drawing to illustrate

Have you thought about the pressure loss from the core? Also creates another source of blockage

What wrong with only being oil cooled? All that extra effort for cooler oil can be had with a normal engine oil cooler

Trust dont tell you to fit a cooler, so i wouldnt be.

You just bring in another element of unreliability to the car with stated above.

The reason the oil lines are larger is to counter for no water, so already covered.

Waste of time/money etc

What about a separate oil system with cooler. pump and reservoir?

That could of save a few turbo when the engine lets go and the turbo always get a fresh. cool supply of oil.

Your suggestion has two coolers; between turbo and sump.

Seeing as ANY o.cooler setup runs the core just after the sump -> o.pump... why not just run a normal, oil cooling setup?

IE, normal oil cooling setups run essentially the same way as your proposed, more complicated setup IMO
