Scavenge Pumps
« on: September 12, 2011, 12:35:38 PM »
What's everyone had the best luck with for a street car? My thoughts are to run both turbos to a vented accumulator tank, then have a single drain that will feed the scavenge pump. Also leaning towards this pump http://www.turbowerx.com/Scavenge_Pumps/Exa-Pump/Exa-Pump.html Thoughts? Feelings? Concerns?

That thing certainly has an impressive spec sheet.

Why even push oil through them? Its just going to idle around the neighborhood.  :poke:

That's what your car is going to look like in comparison to mine  :chug:

I had a pushing and a pulling pump on my rear mount setup that had its own oil tank (driver side of fuel tank).  Worked well but didnt like all the boost lines etc so I took it all off...

For what its worth, If you want reliability and good insurance, you will not use any other pump except and turbowerx.

End of story.

Ive tried many different pumps, gear, diaphram etc.  The turbowerx is by far the best pump on the market and will do far more then you want, its rated to run dry if need be, not that it will, but its not something you need to worry about,  depending on how mysetup turns out, it might be getting one, depending on where the turbo gets mounted. 

Turbowerx FTW.

I've been running the rb on mine for that last couple of years with no issues.  If it matters mine is quiet enough I cannot hear it at all when the car is running.  I have it on the same power feed as my fuel pumps and when my system primes without the car running my twin walbros are louder than the oil pump.
