I think that will do the trick. Let us know how It turns out.

 

man, i guess its a worth a shot... i was told that the gt turbo's NEED the oil restictor but the turbos like the one i have LOVES the oil.... so the oil restrictor isnt neccessarry or good... and the best thing to do is actually retapp the pan.. the oil flow for that turbo is 40-50 psi i believe since its non ball bearing..

but, i have a feeling after i fine tune the car this saturday, after when i get back the pan is coming off =/

 

Q: Are oil deposits indicative of impending turbo failure? There is blue/black smoke, is my turbo going bad?

A: Blue/black smoke can be caused by numerous conditions, and one of them could be a turbocharger worn past its useful service life. The following are potential reasons that blue/black smoke could occur:

Clogged air filter element or obstructed air intake duct. This condition creates a vacuum due to high differential pressure resulting in oil drawn into the compressor and subsequently burned during engine combustion.

Engine component problems; i.e. worn piston rings or liners, valve seals, fuel pump, fuel injectors, etc.

Obstructed oil drain on turbocharger resulting in pressure building inside the center housing and forcing oil past the turbocharger seals

Damaged turbocharger or turbocharger worn past its useful service life
Black smoke is also sometimes indicative of too rich an air/fuel mixture.

 

question-

what size feed are you guys running, I run a -3 and have ZERO problems with my turbo this is with no restrictor as well

 

-4AN for turbo feed is optimal

 

I dunno about that my 71xxmm turbo is perfect with the -3 feed

 

Kinda seems like the guys running -4 feed lines are using the restrictor to bring it down to a -3 start with the -3 from the begining

 

damn i missed all this..

well i have a -4 feed from what i was told... i suppose going to a 3 would help...

but the turbo supposedly loves to have a good amount of oil to run through it like 40-50 psi of oil...

in that case the hose goes directly from the turbo to the pan right underneith it. but it does do a J thing... it comes down a little past the drain fitting on the pan and kinda goes up a little into it.

i suppose i could just try the number 3 fitting?

but because its not a gt or ball bearing turbo, and it loves oil, i might as well just take off the pan and relocate the drain bolt to the upper top right of the pan in front of the engine... i'm hoping that'll do the trick...

what yall ythink?

 

from what the boosted folks that drive behind me all say its oil smell... bluish... not fuel... at first thats what i thought it was... hell it still may be that but highly doubt it..

hope its not the seals but no way to confirm that at this time..

i DO have the number 4 line going in so maybe it is that? i dont know..

 

Pressure is one thing amount is another, ive been running the -3 feed for months now with not a puff of smoke. on my sandwich adapter it even had the -3 fitting for the feed from lovefab. everyone runs the -4 and than end up putting a restrictor to basiccly make it a -3 inlet.
