[QUOTE="DZL JIM, post: 1489073, member: 153"] The discharge of the IPR is not high pressure, it goes to atmosphere, but does come out at a decent pressure due to how it's evacuated from the IPR. The issue with dumping the IPR into the reservoir is that it's moving a LOT of oil and can't go anywhere in the reservoir other than being pumped back through the injectors. There is more oil being dumped than used so it builds up in the res and backs up into the IPR. All that oil has to go somewhere and it can't if you dead-head it to the res. Hence why I am thinking put a discharge on the reservoir with a check valve of "X" psi holding power so that the res will fill with oil and always hold "X" pressure. Now dump the IPR back to the reservoir and any excess oil it can't hold will be discharged through the check valve to the front cover and back to the oil pan. But the reservoir will always hold "X" psi full of oil due to the check valve. I found several check valves like this one: [URL="http://www.generant.com/acv.shtml"]Adjustable check valve[/URL] Can be purchased to crack open at whatever pressure you want. [/QUOTE]
