turbo question???

[plane16j]

are there any small turbos that dont need oil lines? whats the smallet turbo i can put on my 240. i have stock internals, my engine is sound and theres about 85k on the motor.

I would think all turbo's would need an oil line. Those things spin ridiculously fast and would need to be lubricated. I could be wrong though

[krazydriver]

every turbo needs oil lines. For lubrication and cooling. Some also have hookups for water lines for further cooling.

bwana put a t25 from an old ca18 on a ka24e. just search for the el cheapo ka-t thread.

Honestly though, I wouldn't go with anything cheaper then something like a T3 Super 60.

T25 an 28's are fun turbos especially if your looking for an application with a very quick spool and some fun at the bottom.

But once you strat getting higher your sucking.

As for the Oil lines. Only thing that comes relatively close to producing boost and doesn't need oil lines is a Super charger.

Which are coated with a special Teflon material. Other then that to answer your question, no there is not a turbo out there that doesnt use or require oil lines.

But you are definitely more then welcome no to run them and let us know what happened ....

At 85k your engine is still fresh, you dont have to worry about boosting it.

If you put a t3 flanged exhuast manifold, and a t3 super sixty, you will have a really fun car. The super 60 has a fast spool rate, and is still a pretty small turbo. Also, if you ever want to upgrade, you already have a t3 flanged manifold which will support as big of a turbo as you should ever want to put on your car.
