I have read alot about turbo engines and common problems and one thing that I have seen alot oil systems not producing a steady supply of oil on turbo engines(N/A as well I'm sure) that are making alot more power than what they were designed to.
And or lack oil in the high RPM range resulting in spinning rod bearings. I already have an oil cooler and the relocated oil filter(I know relocation doesn't help). Is there anything else I can do to imrove the factory oil system? (1)would a larger capacity oil pan help? (2)is there a larger volume oil pump for our cars? (3)can I use a DRY sump oil system?, are there any available I know I probably am not exeding the limit of my factory system yet, but I am trying to plan ahead and have the safest most efficient engine I can have- So any help would be appreciated -------------------- If anyone is missing NASCAR and it's not on Speed Channel, take a fistful of Skittles, throw them in the toilet and hit the flush handle.

QUOTE nik Posted Today, 05:08 PM oil squirters from a 4ag if you want extra internal oiling ask fallen about it he was looking into adpting it into the 7a block Is this something that may be custom done by a machine shop? because none of the machine shops around here are willing to do anything custon ![]() And, don't the oil squirters allow you too run a little more boost (crank and rods permitting)by also cooling the pistons? QUOTE Dr_Tweak Posted Yesterday, 09:13 PM Typically it's not a problem with our engines, but there probably is a higher capacity oil pump out there... you can also shim the stock pump to put out more pressure... 1. Not really 2. Maybe 3. Yeah but be ready to pay $$$ and it'll be all custom (1)how do I shim the oil pump?how does that work? (2)would the larger oil capacity hurt the engine?-as far as too much oil (3)is there anywhere that anyone knows of to BUILD me a custom dry-sump system?And if so around what price range? (4)Is there a better oil pump that will transfer into a 7AFE(possibly 4ag)? -------------------- If anyone is missing NASCAR and it's not on Speed Channel, take a fistful of Skittles, throw them in the toilet and hit the flush handle.
