Hi John,
Yep very solid just how i like it I had to make up some new brackets for the oil tank, so it will not hit the ground when loading onto the HiLux. So finally got some oil in the tank and gave the big girl some lube only put in 5 liters will need another 5 liters as the pressure is not enough. I can't find were i put the other 5 liters that i have Also been busy working out the three power to the workshop, there is three phase power available just have to get some quotes from a couple of sparkies and also dealing with this idiot from ebay as you know i am selling the GTP 70 this member is asking me for some documentation, proof of purchase ect,ect as he said this one i have looks like the one he had stolen WTF!!! I have all the paperwork when i purchase the engine. Ebay have told me not to send him any documentation until he buys the item. He going to the police lets see what happens

Cheers,
Mark.

Hi John,
I found the 5 litres of oil and put that in the tank. Now i have 70 PSI oil pressure one problem leaking oil out of the turbo from the comp end and i can see some oil at the turbine end, good thing i put that drain in the comp housing. I'm thinking will need to add a speed controller on the oil pump and reduce the pressure down to say 40 to 50 PSI for start up???

Cheers,
Mark.

Hi Mark

How about a pressure relief valve set for 50 psi , less chance of "forgetting" to crank up the oilpump amps .

Cheers

Hi John,
Good idea I think this one will do the job ?? www.ebay.com.au/itm/201706547960?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Hi John,
Hook up the pressure relief valve and adjusted the oil pressure down to 50 PSI, getting a little bit of oil leaking from the comp side still. I think it will be OK just will have a smokey start up. Just got to fix a couple of oil leaks and the bloody fuel pump started to leak, replace the shaft seal all good and running the IC engine to see if the alternator is charging the battery and that's no bloody working, so lot's to do and fix over the Xmas break.
Cheers,

Hi Mark

LOL............theres always something to fix ;-)

50 psi is probably safer for your engine
