Default Need an oil scavenge for TT application...

okay, so i was directed to http://www.turbowerx.com/Scavenge_Pu...odel_Pump.html and bought this pump, great pump... if there was a place to mount it lol. piping is in the way for my custom build and this is last thing needed to go in.. sooo i need something smaller, but something strong enough to withstand about 300 degrees. I was thinking the STS turbo pump? cant find anywhere how big that pump is... please help!

You're headed in the right direction.

I went with the EXA pump from them for my APS ST set-up since it is a pretty significant upgrade for the $ over the base.

Dimensions

EXA
6.2" x 4.1" x 4.1" size, 6 lbs

Base
7.25" x 4.0" x 4.0" box. It weighs less than 5 pounds


Its actually slightly smaller overall.

Mine is the middle size from RBRacing. I have heard good things about them. They are gear type like the turbowerx.

This is the only pump I will ever use:

http://www.turbowerx.com/Scavenge_Pu.../Exa-Pump.html

By far the best out there. I took one appart (motor, pump,brushes the entire thing), and can tell you that these things are well built.

Well I doubt your doing a budget build (considering its the Z forum 90% of members have lil $ and get real stuff), but in my case case I cant afford high end things so I have been using a Shurflo 600 series Scavange Pump. 3 years and counting. Just throwing it out there so u can see the different options.

What won't fit? the base or the EXA? Sorry you got me a little confused.


+1 on Boosted performance's comment. If you talk to their technical people they basically explain how the EXA was more developed for tanks and big machinery.

Is an oil scavenge pump a requirement? What are some of the advantages to using one vs. not using one in an FI setup?

You use a scavenge pump where the oil fed to the turbo can not drain back to the oil pan. With a top mount turbo, gravity takes care of getting the oil back to the pan.

So, you have to use a pump to return the oil back to the engine.

yup,
Basically if the turbo's oil outlet sits below the inlet back into the oil pan you need a scavange setup. Or when you use a remote mount setup (like a rear-mount).
