well i got the new head on and checked everything twice started her up and big cloud of smoke .. thought it wwas a leaky hg but nope pulled my turbo off and found quite a bit of oil and a puddle under the dp..

i have street tuned it and ran for about 300 miles had a day of dyno time and 4 passes at the track.. and this happens..




puddle of oil from the dp



started it up with no turbo on it and didnt smoke a lick.. why do you supposed it went so fast

if you have seen my setup yah i have it watercooled and oil cooled using a stealthmode oil ine kit. striaght shot to the oil pan on the return

Schister66

did you have an oil restrictor? The ballbearing units are picky...and the worst part is that they can't be rebuilt

willyboyK20

that F#$%ing sucks. What size was your oil feed?

Can you rebuild a ballbearing turbo?

THEDirtyDseriesWOOT

-3 an i believe yeah i have a restrictor on it ..

blast performance DOES rebuild ball bearings they just started to do it but its not cheap..

i still have warrenty so i should get a new one but i wanna know why its did this cause i dont want another 1300$ paper wieght after4 passes

SovXietday

What did your return look like? You had a topmount didn't you?

Also interested to see your catchcan setup.

THEDirtyDseriesWOOT

too dark for pics..

one tueb from valve cover to catch can .. other tube vented into atmosphere just to catch the oil stock pvc system

return had a vertical s curve then a nice 45 deg bend to the pan better than my log manifold return

It would seem the car would have WAY more than 4 passes on it.I think ive seen more than 4 videos of it

hope u get it done.

THEDirtyDseriesWOOT

What size oil feed restrictor? Any pictures of the oil feed restrictor? Any pictures of the return to the pan? Need to make sure you take steps so it wont happen again. I had a larger dbb turbo on a customer's car do similar. Didnt have a restrictor. Straight -3 feed. Put a restrictor on the new one and so far so good

Did the turbo suck in anything? Any pics of the compressor wheels?

Looks like you didn't run a filter at all.

Since you welded such a fantastic cage... im sure that you can rebuild that turbo yourself!

So what's the story on it? Why the "tuff **** customer" deal?
It's true that BB turbos are particular about having too much oil pressure, but I've never seen a shop that gives much direction in how to measure oil at the turbo beyond some basic PSI of engine oil pressure.

What kind of restrictor are you running?

I don't know the BB turbos very well - Blaast will definitely give you an opinion on it, but I think you've got to go in there and press off the bearing races, which make it expensive.

I've been thinking about a BB unit myself, but I've had issues with journal bearing turbos and don't want a $1k paperweight...

What brand turbo is this and is that fitting a restrictor fitting? From the looks of it, it isn't and also looks like a -4an line.

TiAL

your turbo is fine, get a proper sized return line

you built up oil pressure in the chra so it started to leak, not a big deal really
