Standalone Charger oil supply setup

[Fifress]

Hey,
I know there was a how to thread here regarding this topic wich used a bosch fuel pump.
a couple questions to this:
- What engine oil grade, I assume something in the lines of 5W30, and how much?
- What oil pressure do you set it up to?
Thank you

you want the thinnest oil you can get, I used to use compressor oil in mine.  If you are using a fuel pump then it's not designed to move anything thicker than petrol.

As for pressure all I can say is "some".  I had a mechanical gauge connected to mine so I could check the pressure didn't drop to zero.  I recall it only ran at a couple of PSI most of the time, you want the gauge connected to the oil in line, the out line will be little to no pressure.

Thank you, great to get feedback

Will have the car in the garage for the summer and get some things done...

I ran a facet fuel pump that was 5/7psi.

I also ran an mocal oil pump with engine oil but it was still a little too thick. Ideally i believe that pump needs to be turned on once oil temp has reached a certain temp.

With the oil, i ran motocross fork oil. Expensive but it did the job really well. I researched into in and found out that it was ideal for what i needed.
