i just recently installed a turbo kit on my d16z6, the car has only been driven about a mile since then.. and now i'm noticing a blueish/white smoke sometimes when i take it out for a few minutes.. i'm noticing oil on the exhaust side of my turbo every so often, which leads me to belive my oil line is kinking up, the oil line is stainless steal braided that i'm using now-and it seems to be bending a bit in the middle which looks as if it could be a 'kink'.

does anyone know a solution to my problem? TIA.

Make the oil line a little bit shorter

 

make it shorter but what fittings would i need? i suck at life.

 

you should be able to cut the braided line that comes off the drain from the turbo. Make it shorter then re-fit the same fitting that is on there to the braided hose.

When you cut the braided line, wrap the portion that you are going to cut in some electrical tape, or duct tape or something to prevent fraying. Use a hacksaw it works best.

Also i would reccomend getting some small clamps to get a tighter fit on the hose to the fitting.

this **** is stiff as expletive, if i cut it. hows it going to reach

 

you can also use a 45degree fitting from the turbo

 

lets see if i can find a 45 fitting around here-hopefully i wont have to order it

 

The striaight fitting is fine, your like is too long

, get a 45 off the turbo

lemme know if you need help ill see what i can do.

 

why dont u move the piece in your oil pan over to where the turbo is, then its much simpler.

when u braze the fitting into the pan angle it up, then u dont have to expletive around with 45's

also. i hope you use clamps
