i thought all mitsu turbos were water and oil cooled? that steering column is crazy.

It is not a true Mitsu turbo, just has the internals from an evo 3
i see. where did you get the turbo?

It is actually a EVO 3 with an external waste gate for proper exhaust flow and it is only oil cooled so i am going to put some fins on my oil tank! I am going to build a custom belly pan and mesh hood. I need to change my steering column braces because they are into my legs to much when I am standing up but that will not be a big deal, and the turbo is a journal bearing, i am going to use that pump you suggested and see how it does! I am getting close, I need two solid days to finish this dude up!!
You are probably going to need to do more than that or use a better pump. Just trail riding it was very hot and my oil pressure was down to about 17psi with 10/30 oil within a couple miles. Cold it was 50psi. My turbo was squeeling a couple times and we don't even have enough snow to really get off trail. The temp was 10 degrees with a 20mph wind too. My oil capacity is just at 1 qt.
run good oil, like mobile 1. better lubricating properties at higher temp

Thats what I was running. The oil felt to be over 200 degrees. It was way hotter than I thought it would be.
might try a bigger oil tank? or some sort of inline oil cooler?

10w30
Not a great oil for turbo's! try synthetic diesel oil like 15W40 or 5W50 and i am building my tank tonight! I am actually going to put a coil in the tank with a shut off valve for coolant to keep the black gold cool!

coolers
You should consider moving your front cooler and making more room for the snow to excape. It's like a big bottleneck that will rob track speed. With your fab skills you could probably use the same cooler just move it to the back of the tunnel. More room in the front is better.

Room
With those 7 tooth drivers there is plenty of room now, but I still might try that next summer! I am just trying to get this thing back on the snow before Xmas!!!!!

bad *** build I need more tools great fab skills just wondering what pipe is that I cant recall seeing that style on sleds in years thanks

316
316 Stainless .049 seamless on the tunnel and 316 .065 for the shaft with a bearing on the top and the bottom mount. I did make the top 6 inches solid for more strength. After i put the bar on last night i pulled on that thing from the side and man o man did it just tip over!! It should be fun in the deep stuff! MORE TO COME

right on, what exaust pipe is that looks ausome

I added some metal on the areas prone to blow out!

Yea, if you can do something to keep the oil cooled down a bit it should be fine. Another turbo guy suggested the 10/30. I think with my cooling hooked up it will be fine. With thicker oil for sure.
Ulose, not much more room for a bigger tank at least on mine. It wouldn't do much good anyway. Its down so far in there right below all that heat. It would have to be over a gallon for it to have any cooling affect. It was heating up very very quick. Much quicker than I thought it would. Probably less than 20 seconds total on boost in about 5 minutes of riding and it was too hot to touch the tank. Water cooling my turbo and a bit thicker oil will work for mine.
Dave should be fine with a cooling coil.
My coolant temp was only 120-130.
looks sweet! keep the pics coming building stuff rules
Most of my turbo buddies swear by 15-50 mobil 1 and there some pretty smart dudes. these are cars of course, maybe if your just feeding the turbo is different, i dont know.

My only worry with heavy oil like that is wasting the pump when its cold. Its already putting out 50psi with the 10/30 cold, and this little pump shurely isn't made for that. Would really like a better pump but haven't found one yet thats proven, until twister gets some at least.
