ok fellas, I have a nagging little problem, and maybe somebody could point me in the right direction...

here is my set-up:
B18A1
T3/T4 Turbonetics
Place Racing Weld In Mounts
Integra Front Hubs and Brake Setup
HaltechE6K
ARIAS 8.5:1 Pistons
Total Seal Rings
Crower Rods

Web Cams
STR Fuel Rail
720 cc Injectors
94 LS Intake Manifold (ported) high polished to match valve cover

APEX i Blow Off Valve
TIAL Wastegate
RevHard Exhaust Manifold
Clutch Master Stage 4
3" Thermal Cat Back
3" High Flow Cat

Custom Ignition ( Distributorless )

I have a minor oil leak in the area shown in the picture, it usually only happens when i turn it to around 15-17 lbs, but this motor put down 475 @ 26 lbs on C16, so I don't think it's a matter of too much anything...



that's not mine (yet ) but I'm just using it for example, and to show off my mad MS Paint skillz y0...

help me out, oh great turbo brain-trust of Honda-Tech

is it seeping through the bolts? try some lock tite liquid or even teflon.

mildly.interesting

my T3-T4 has the same style of clips that span between the 2 bolt holes, and that seems to be where its coming through at...

take the compressor housing off and see exactly how far thats gettin too, do your charge pipes get oily?

mildly.interesting

nope, the charge pipes are clean on the inside...and it's really not leaking a lot, but when everything heats up, you can smell the oil burning...

rjardy

you shoudl not have any oil on the compressor side of your turbo, you ahve a bad seal.

still take that housing off to see what it looks like on the inside... doesnt make much sense that thats the source of a burning smell, now if it were on the exhaust turbine side then it would seem more so... if there is no oil inside the compressor housing anywhere then check to see if oil is not being thrown from somewhere else

thanks fellas, I'm gonna look hard at it tomorrow....
