Hi

Does anyone know what kind of temperature the oil can reach at the turbo?
I've had a good search around but cant find any values.
Just trying to sort out an oil return pipe.

Thanks for any info

Andy

 

No idea TBH -

but whats the question behind your question?

Are you asking if you can use rad hose or somthing?

Alex

 

no not rad hose, more along the line of oil cooler hose, they seem to be rated to 120ish degrees c but i have a feeling that the oil at the turbo can exceed that.

If i can find a rough temperature i will try a few local pipe/hydraulic places to see if i can get something suitable.

Although if you know of something please let me know

 

SILICONE WILL BE FINE.

will it?
That'd be great if it is

 

I supose it can go up to 150 or more :-/ That's why turbos degrade oil so fast.

 

no it won't - not unless it's lined

 

Seconded.

 

samco now do lined oil hose

it will discolour if its not

 

for such a short run a braided pipe wouldn't be too expensive surely?
