Building Oil Pressure In A 2nd Hand Motor

[Simon-S14]

i bought a good cond motor thats been sitting around for years. anyway long sotry short put it in my car and yet to start it, have put high mount turbo and various other things on it, see my sig for a full run down but i started cranking it over briefly today to try and get some oil coming thro the feed line for the turbo and nothing comes out.

how long does it take to build pressure? keep in mind ive fitted an oil cool;er set up (poured oil in it) and its been sitting round for ages.

But it's been sitting around for years so it may as well be a fresh motor in terms of priming the oil pump.

Mine had been sitting for 9 months and I just disconnected the coils and cranked it a few times to make sure I had oil pressure, which I did. Then it never started because the fuel pump died... lol

The answer you need is in there, and as mentioned, basically, treat it as a fresh built motor...
