    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?

    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.

    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.
