The S10 has the wastegates set at 12.5 psi and to correct everyone my oil system is not just gravity return to the engine, the oil system is completely stand alone, it has a 8qt drysump tank with a electric RB racing pressure pump, it has a restrictor and my oil pressure is set about 27 psi with a restrictor, then it gravity feeds into the tank!

The pump is ran off the key through a relay, i figured this way it would be less likely to forget to turn it on, i also have a autometer warning lamp mounted on my tach, its set at 18 psi so if a issue developes i will know fast!

That was one of the advantages i studied while planning my project, the under hood space and temp is amazing while the turbos recieve nice cool air too, but getting the heat to the turbos was a concern, i wrapped my exhaust completely from front to back, seems to work cause the turbo spool so fast, its been a fun build!!
