Turbo oil pumps (info needed )

[pommie02]

Can anyone recommend a good electric turbo oil pump.
i may have to go this way as the yamaha oil pump has low pressure at idle

check out VDO

What do you call low pressure ? busa runs very low idle pressure when hot like 10-15 psi but can be 100+ when cold at a few revs
Ball bearing turbo's don't need a lot of pressure just oil flow to keep the bearings cool and wet, bush type need some pressure at load but can get away with very little idling.
I have used the VDO pump for scavenging but not supply, can't even say what pressure it might run to but i can check.i think Rocket ind stock them, or i can get them thru my local speedo and instrument service i think for ~$340 (would have to confirm current prices)
otherwise there is the MR Turbo pumps , a lot bulkier but relatively cheap .

i have spoken to a couple of guys who have done the turbo conversion, both of them had problems with oil, but they didnt use the garret ball race turbo.

Here you can just see the oil pump that was used on Dougs bike, this was the first turbo gixxer thou in oz when it was built. Jamie & snake are to take credit on the engine mods....
