rokkie Member 87 Member For: 12y 6m 24d Gender: Male Location: Adelaide, SA Posted 08/11/15 09:08 AM Share Posted 08/11/15 09:08 AM Hi all, I was wondering how much the oil flow rate to the turbo should be? I'm getting 1L a minute. The bloke who rebuilt the turbo said I should be getting at least 2L a minute. It's the standard gt3582 with a genuine Garrett core. I checked the flow rate with a cold engine and no turbo bolted up (didn't want to run the turbo with no oil supply). The viscosity of the oil is 15w/40. I have also removed the ford filter in the banjo fitting.Thanks in advance.Sent from my SM-N910G using Tapatalk Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/91359-oil-flow-rate-to-turbo/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you talking about the inlet flange bolt which the braided line connects too. I tested it with that connected. I did drill out the ID to around 5mm. I'm agree that 2L does seem excessive. Good old mate Google recons 1 - 1.5L a minute is what should be supplied. Thought I'd ask the guru'sSent from my SM-N910G using Tapatalk Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/91359-oil-flow-rate-to-turbo/#findComment-1568914 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo needs very little oil Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/91359-oil-flow-rate-to-turbo/#findComment-1568945 Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaceEquipped Member 52 Member For: 9y 4m Gender: Male Posted 13/12/15 02:13 AM Share Posted 13/12/15 02:13 AM 2L sounds excessive. 1L sounds about right.
