Burning lots of oil with a turbo kit
I drove for 3000 miles and put an extra 3.5 quarts in along the way cuz I kept on running low. Come back home, check my oil, and there is nothing there! Nada! I just dont believe my car could burn up almost 9 quarts of oil just like that. I just rebuilt the block about 7000 miles ago. No blue smoke from exhaust. No obvious oil leaks.
Im basically just stumped. The only solution I can come up with is my integra actually burned almost 9 quarts of oil. Throughout the whole trip I never hit more then 3 or 4psi of boost. Anyone else have this problem with their GSR? Does it actually have anything to do with the turbo kit?
oh yea I use mobil 1 synthetic.

Re: Burning lots of oil with a turbo kit (Luchini)
check the turbo for oil leakage, check the chargepipes and turbnine outlet for signs of oil.... burning oil isnt normal.
it could be the turbo, valve guides or just blowby/ring wear

Re: Burning lots of oil with a turbo kit (wantboost)
Do you think it would be a good idea to take off the chargepipes and feed lines and inspect them for damage along with the turbo? Im not sure exactly what im looking for though. A cut or tear or signs of excess oil being built up somewhere.
Are the valve guides the samething you adjust during a valve adjustment cuz i got alot of clicking coming from under the valvecover.
