Hello H-T people, i have a newbie question and any help will be greatly appreciated...

I just recently installed my turbo on my GSR like 2 weeks ago.. and my question is... am i supposed to be running out of oil this fast.. i put 5 quarts of 10w-30 in just to make it to the 2nd dot in my oil stick when i installed my turbo and i checked it today because my turbo is spooling but sometimes it doesn't want to so i checked the oil and its under the first dot. . is this normal? if so, where is this oil going? evaporating?

my car isn't leaking any oil, so im guessing it went somewhere?? please help me out.. thanks

 

I don't even know why I'm asking....but did you check for leaks?

mabye under the car for oil puddles...ect?

 

are you seeing any oil in the piping of your turbo? You could have excessive blow-by but that sounds extreme.

Did you do a compression test? Rings could be bad and oil is getting by.

My first guess is bad valve seals. Compression and leakdown test will help you diagnose the problem.

p.s. I just got my turbo running on my gsr motor two weeks ago too!!! yeah!!!!!

 

Is the car smoking, especially under boost?

 

out the exhaust? in the charge pipes?

 

Thanks for the quick reply's guys..

i checked under the car for leaks, none...

no excess smoke comming out under boost, but i do have a crack in my manifold, could this be the problem?...

compression test is 125 all across.. i don know if htats good or not..

and leak down test... dont know what that is, but will find out and do that test..

damn.. this is ghetto.. i have no idea wtf is going on..

mike 1114.. congrats on the turbo install.. how is everything working out for?

umm. I think you should take your engine to a professional

Those numbers are gross

 

what are normal numbers?

 

~200 for a gsr motor give or take 15psi.
make sure u do the compression test when the motor is hot and make sure the motor is at WOT

 

take it to a pro

 

nm.. i just did another compression test. its 230 all across. i took the turbo off so im not turbocharged anymore.. decided to go all motor..
