Oil in the intake after all. What a pita?

Broke open the intake after seeing a little drop of oil on the intake and guess what oil all down the intake and intercooler. I guess it blew in when the pump went out. Damn, life is good. I bet I could put on an sts system in 30 mins now? LOL, 2 times oil in the intake. That trick is looking better and bette everyday.
I if I can make a seperate oil system for the turbo and not run thru the engine. I could use a 4 quart oil bag off a harley and a trans cooler with a fan on it. Do ya'll think that would work? I think the oil would stay cooler and no oil pressure build up?

Sounds like it would work. Just make sure is has good circulation and cooling.

doesnt the sts uses its own oiling pump... i see no reason not to divorce the
engine oil from the turbo oil. but because the engine oil is hot and thinner
you might look into what turbo oil would be needed since there will be a
massive temperature difference.

I didn't think of that. I will try and find out. Yea I was thinking of a seperate oil system for the turbo using the sts pump.

The STS oil pump is just a return pump. You will still need a pressure pump to supply oil, and a return pump.

Makes a P1SC look good (except for the blown motor part).

Get that 408, and we could both go Trick!!

I see it in the future. I am goin 370 all forged though.
I got all the oil out and cleaned all the grounds on the sts system. So far no smoke out of the tail pipe. I just need to burn out all the oil now in the exhaust, I think its all out. I won't gun it yet until I know its running good.
I am thinking about getting a new toy? GMC Denali 2WD 6.2L 6l85e trans white 4 door with tan leather.

Thanks Red the only thing holding me back is the 38000 sticker. I know I can talk them down, but I don't know if it would be enough?

I could always get a durmax for that price, but the 6.2L and that 6 speed auto already runs like a bat out of hell. If I could get Allen to tune it, it would probably be a monster. An extra 100 horses and you are already looking at 500 horses! That is bad to the bone!
