jacob80 Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Has anyone used the Kameari high performance oil pump with their turbo setup? I am afraid of using this pump and running too high of pressure. Does anyone have an input on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimZ Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Anyone, anywhere, have any input on the matter? If you are worried about getting too much oil to the turbo, you can always put a restrictor inline with the turbo's oil feed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezzzzzzz Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 What's wrong with a stock pump? Nissan built hundred's of thousands of L6 and the factory oil pumps seemed to be fine for nearly all applications. What will you be doing with you car? How often, if ever, will you see or exceed 7000 rpm? The turbo pump flows 1.9 ml more per pump revolution or slightly more than 10% over the N/A version to feed the turbo. A stock street engine should have 11 psi at idle and high pressure between 50-70 psi. A rally (read that as constant high rpm often above 7000 rpm) should see around 85+/-7 psi maximum oil pressure. Figure on 10 psi per 1000 rpm. It's easy to throw cash at specialty parts but consider if you REALLY need them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacob80 Posted March 26, 2009 Author Share Posted March 26, 2009 Well we had the Kameari laying around and said why not, but then looked into it. In Corky Bell's Maximum Boost, he talks about pressures in excess of 70 psi can damage turbo seals and cause smoking from oil leaking. Does this sound right? We also aren't running an oil cooler, not sure if this is a factor at all, but my look on it is if you're moving the oil faster, the cooler it will be.

cygnusx1 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Since you already have the pump, put the pump in and limit it's maximum pressure via the bypass spring. High flow is great, you just don't want toooo much pressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
