Getting oil for turbo from oil filter housing

[pimpin81]

im putting a 6 bolt in my 95 gsx and its running a PTE 50 trim wich is getting its oil directly from the oil filter housing, I was wondering if this was okay? considering the 6 bolt isnt designed from the factory to have this setup.

my consern is that i will have low oil pressure threwout the engine beause im robbing so much oil from the housing.. anyone know if anything about this ?

You'll be fine....but keep searching im trying to find or remember more likely which brand dosnt hole up long at the oil housing due to too much oil pressure Maybe someone will chime in

An oil feed restrictor will help out your high pressure issues when running from either the stock head location, or the OFH location.

You will be fine I have been using the ofh for years now in all my dsms never had any issues i just use an inline oil restriction beings there is more flow at the housing. currently using the hx35 feed through the filter housing idle oil pressure hot is about 18-23 psi

im less conserned about high pressure at the turbo as im am conserned about low pressure at the crank heand and oil jernals.

there will be extremly low if any loss in pressure ... I have had an oil pressure sender hooked up there to test the pressure pre/post turbo. But now i have my sender at the head.

Do you have balance shafts?

 

[pimpin81]

no my balance shafts have been removed.

You'll be fine. I ran no Balance shafts, un-ported pressure relief, helical oil pump gears on a 6-bolt with 15 psi hot at idle and 90 at redline, and a 16G fed from the OFH for a while. No problems. My oil feed is a -3an stainless though.

 

[pimpin81]

yeah im running a -3 stainless line as well from the OFH to the turbo. I should be comming across some money soon so i think im gonna invest in a digital oil pressure gauge..


Would the head where turbo oil used to come from be a good spot for the oil pressure sending unit ?

That PTE 50 trim wont last very long. My 6 bolt, fed from the OFH, no restrictor....turbo blew. You might need a restrictor for that setup

 

[pimpin81]

well there seems to be some kinda of fitting screwed into the oil filter housing that reduce's size and has a smaller hole then the -3 stainless line which then screws over it. not into but over .
