wow 100 psi! i cant get over 80psi cold. 60-ish warm. expensive oil pump? or do you just have tight bearing clearences. pretty high tech!
We were hurting bearings the few times we ran it last year. Was pretty sure it was ignition timing doing it but wasn't taking any chances. Titan oil pump. Ran the same set of bearings all year this year. 8 races and many trips to the lake. Engine would have stayed in all year also if we hadn't been trying to fix the smoke deal. It will stay in all year next year.
I use a couple oil inlet flanges from Bullseye that come with .070 orifice's and the -4 line connects right to it.
just curious what style bearings are in your turbos? are they journal or ball bearing ,ceramic or steel, double or triple ball bearings?......mark it was a pleasure meeting you too.......how much timing was too much? i am still tuning on the timing, you are e-85 i beiieve?
thanks mark, kinda wondering what too much timing was for info's deal , ( the timeing he was running when he hurt the bearings... mains or turbo bearings?). ....... if it was the journal bearing thrust surface that was damaged i would recomend putting ing some zink additive. my turbos waisted the journal bearings out all the time & i got a bit more protection with the comp cam break-in additive. also what my turbo builder told me is they used to make jounal bearings out of a bronze/ brass? something harder than aluminum. that would hold out better...easy to rebuild if it was mains i beleive it would be timing . i pounded out the mains so bad once on the river i had to get all new caps & line bore the thing. i believe that was at 40* (crept up on me ) had set it at 33*
