If you lose oil that means your crank seals are gone. I will change it every so often just because oils break down over time.

Yeah I never had trouble with the Oil pump. The Cable broke once and my tank was leaking bad. Plus I wanted to clean it up under the hood and lose some weight. This way I can have better control over the mixture too. Some people when doing the delete tap a hole into the cover plate,, run a fiting and hose off that to a little reservoir, makes it easier to change the oil too. I've got other sled to ride tho,, so wont be putting on a ton of miles on this one and it not a big deal for me to pull the motor every once in a while.
DUDE !!! ... orsum thread and I can't believe I haven't seen this thread until today?
well, just coz we rode a few days together doesn't mean I internet stalk buddies every move.
its great to see this sled that has been so many places, get a new lease on life ...
keep us informed and I can't wait to see it in action ... and maybe take a turbo 2stroke for a spin ... hehe ...

Just a FYI, those style of Holley fuel pumps are not really made for boost. They typically cavitate, just my experience.
also your block off plate should have a oil feed with reservoir. I know if your loosing oil the seals are not doing there job. But all seals leak a percentage, and what if you got a problem 2 ranges back in the bush, at least you would catch it and limp it out.

The fuel pump is good for 14psi & I only need 12 out of it. So it should be fine. If not ill get something else... Ill be able to see if its losing oil from the vent hose and be able to add oil threw it if I had too in a pinch. I see no need for the reservoir for my application. I thought about running one tho,, might change my mind. Thanks

The adding/changing the oil part would a lot be easier for sure with the reservoir setup. Im taking a bit of a gamble banking on not having too add oil on the hill.. Here is a pic of what Oler is talking about for those who might be thinking of doing an oil delete:

actually holley red pumps are good to 7-9psi, holley blue and black are good for 12-14psi. Holley red pumps are a good for a stock replacement pump or a additional pump for nitrous systems.
how much boost are you going to be running?

This is a Holley Blue...(don't let the sticker fool yea...lol) Id like to run 12lbs boost,, but Aero Charger says with the 53series 7lbs boost is about the most I want to run. So Im shooting for 7lbs boost. 3-5lbs fuel pressure at idle,, 10-12 fuel pressure at full boost. I looked at a lot of different fuel pumps and this one fit my application best IMO.

You should do a google search, Gus Bohne on snowest.. He know how to make carb turbos work, like referencing the fuel press reg off the pipe so you can run lower fuel pressures at idle ( 2psi) and have more fuel press under boost so you can run smaller jets and less power jet.
