LFX Twin Turbo Oil Feed and Return Questions - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hi all, My name is Alan, I have an LFX in one of our Aussie Holdens and I am looking at a twin turbo build.

Unfortunately no-one here is doing kits for the LFX and to import one from over your way is too costly.

So I was wondering what are you guys doing for oil feed and return?

Oil Feed: I am under the understanding that it is tapped from the oil pressure switch.

Oil return: Turbos will be set low, beside the gearbox, so a small collection sump will be fabbed and a scavenger pump but where has every one returned the oil to on the sump? does anyone have any pics of their setup?

Thanks heaps in advance!

Gretchen mentioned above, is the only one I know of that has done a serious and well thought out custom TT setup on his LFX. Hopefully you'll get a chance to speak with him.

There are one or two companies, like IPS, that offer TT kits, but as you said exporting that kit to your country would be costly, and not even sure if it would work on your Holden...some of the pipe routing may be different.
