Kind of late

You even liked the post

 

But did you see the stroller. And the matching dipar bag for your vest

 

Who says I don't



As for strollers, we've got a Doona

 

ASTROS been done did that

 

I'm already in bed with no plan to get out for now

 

Can't tonight sorry, still need to cook and eat then I'm heading to bed early cause it's a busy long day tomorrow

 

My Tracker does too but I let my sister borrow it

 

@treyus30 any luck on the oil feed? I have measurements from my hose but obviously that only deals with one turbo kinda high mounted.

 

I'm not sure what you mean?

I have my turbos fed from a BPST adapter from years ago like mentioned, I just gotta decide if it's worth adding another pressure sender. Could say more but again not sure where you're inquiring to

 

Oh are you just doing a gauge feed? I suppose a gauge is a good addition, the stock sender just turns the light on below 10psi roughly.

 

Well I was originally wondering more if it was like the trans oil temp and you could input a code for OBDII to read it but seems it's more low tech than that. I have an open gauge pod for an external sender if wanted..just a matter of where to pull the pressure from. 6an adapters are pretty cheap (what I run my turbo feeds on) but not really wanting to tap those feed lines; I'd rather tap the secondary engine block port if it's easy

 

The secondary engine block port is larger but it's easy to access. There's actually a third port too but it's dirty oil.

 

Gotcha. Given these are two journal bearing turbos the back of my mind has me worried that im sucking too much from the cams and such. In that case I'd get a large oil restrictor for each and switch to 4an hoses

 

Are you feeding both turbos from a -6 line with a Y or two -6 from the block? If it's the y, could do this...

@Kwikvette

Stepping through some old photos when I found someone that tried to take over my garage

 

Yes, though I think that only regulates downstream (turbos) which I'm not as worried about I think

 

Well yes but that stops them from over consuming which is that would keep your engine from getting what it needs. You might not like putting an oil pressure gauge on the VZ though, they're notorious for running really low pressure. Hot idle is reportedly around 15-20psi.

 

Oooh that's a pretty one!

 

It just wandered in like it was his place while I was changing the oil. Lots of cool stuff out in west texas
