Hope your all having a good summer!
I have some issues to deal with before snow flies, time to get at it.
2019 Axys 850 with a Silber 2.0 kit.
Twice now my water pump gear has failed from what is surely a lack of lubrication to the center cavity. Even though nobody else seems to be having my problem, this almost has to be due to the turbo oiling tee'ing in to the OEM injection system and offering a lower resistance path for the oil to go rather than properly popping the injector checks @5psi.
-Does anyone know of an electric impulse pump that I can use to supply only the turbo? (purpose: to leave the OEM oil injection alone). This would have to be able to just do it's thing not being tied to an ECU or control, dunno... out of my knowledge base.
-Any thoughts on installing a return line on the turbo, and routing that return hose back to an injection point on my engine?
Each time the water pump gear shreds, its a full engine teardown to repair, and because it gets overheated pretty bad recovering the sled with no water pump... I'm replacing expensive parts. I'm about to do this again. This time I'm also going to replace the OEM oil pump (just in case), turbo center section (because I have overheated it bad a few times, and because I suspect a lack of oil pressure resistance as the cause of all this)
Any thoughts? The turbo kit runs awesome, I HAVE to figure out a lubrication solution.
I didn't want to type out a novel of every detail, ask away if you have questions. I'm begging for some help!
