Oil feed from turbo to oil filter

[Spoolin4Ever]

Yes, it is the stock warning light. For some reason my oil pressure gauge won't work. I checked the wiring and its all hooked up. The motor is from Karking and is an N/T block. And the balance shafts are removed and the bearings are set to block off the oil pressure.

Just curious; when you order a turbo Karking motor, do they automatically remove the BS, or was that a request you made to them? And why did they use an NT block? Is that good, bad or indifferent? Does it have oil squirters?

I don't like the sound of that at all, what did Karking have to say about that? Was the front case/oil pump part of the build? OEM? I would not just let things be without further investigation/verification, at least invest in an aftermarket oil pressure gauge before driving the car again.

Yes, they do automatically remove the balance shafts but, there are no squirters. They use N/T blocks because they are only $530.00 from Japan. For good or bad see magnus motorsports section on crankwalk, then talk to other people. Personally I want squirters. Thats why I am ditching the karking motor and building my 6bolt Turbo motor.

Karking didn't really say much about that. The front case and pump is R.O.C.

Oh, believe me an oil gauge is on the buy list! I have only driven the car a total of 15 miles for the last 2 years. Why, lets just say some people don't know how to properly build motors and some lack attention to detail. THats why for now on I am going to build my own motors. I mean, I was a mechanic in the Marine Corps for 5 years working on million dollar engines from rolls royce, why the heck can't I build a $3000.00 motor?!
