Where are people with Twins normally getting their Oil supply from for the second Turbo? Or are there other places that are as good?
Oil Source for second Turbo?

Go to www.bdpower.com and call them. They have a side oiling fitting for their BD charger system that they also sell separately. It bolts into the drivers side of the block.
Rang BD - Say they do not make a Twin Setup for D/Max and do not make an oiling fitting for them either. Any other info?
Sweet. Ill check that one out. Thanks:rockon:
The ones that I have seen had a hose made that went down to the oil filter housing and use one of the ports that had a plug screwed into it.
Correct. It's not specifically for twins, it's for oiling their Dmax single turbo kit.
They thought the reason the BD charger kits were blowing chargers was oiling, so they made their own oiling system independant of the OEM "in the valley through the cam" system.
The reason was never oiling, it was that they were overspeeding the charger.

Interesting Pat. I got that link from Brandon with pics- Looks easy enough to make my own out of that plug. Thanks both.
The MPI kit I looked at had the second turbo oil feed coming from the banjo bolt on the top of the stock turbo. I like the idea of the oil for the second turbo coming from a second source better.
me to
my stock turbo, now gets it oil feeding from the filter housing and NOT the cam journalMick, if you need any parts let me know....I can get them for cheap
I think it would work going from the first turbo to the second ONLY if you increased the size of the hose supplying oil to the first turbo, as well as increasing the size of the fitting where you tie into the oil system.
2 supplies would be my first choice though!

Thanks brandon - That BD Page21 is good. Easy to make my own from here

No problem! That pic makes it look easy to get to, but is anything but. You will have to snake the oil line up there and try to tighten it w/o out room for your hand.
There are ports on the filter housing that would probably be just as usable and much easier to actually plumb. I don't remember off hand, but if you search through some of the overheat and oil cooler threads on DP you will find which one is after the OE oil cooler, IMO probably better to feed them coolest oil possible.
