I just installed a TD-05 turbo on my CRX. The turbo is dumping oil into the exhaust. What is causing this and what can I do to fix it?

 

can you give us a little more information about the turbo....How long you've had it..etc...it doesnt look so good..

 

i hope its not the oil seal...

 

Sounds like the oil seals if the oil is actually in the exhaust.

 

time for a rebuild, or a new turbo...

 

I got the turbo off of my friend. It came off of an 87 Mitsubishi Starion. I looks like its in reallly good shape. It has not been used in a few years, its been laying around in the grage. But it did come off of one of his parts cars. Maybe this is the reason it was a parts car.

 

Another question: Turbos are a new to me so here is my question, On the turbo itself you have an oil inlet and outlet. On this turbo (Mitsubishsi TD-05) the lagre bent pipe, which is held on with two bolts, is this the oil return? Also, does it matter for the anti-freeze lines which one goes in and which one returns? I'm just trying to trouble shoot this problem. I have another one of these turbos too. I'll probably swap them out today and see if this fixes the problem so I can drive my car.

Does any know any other web sites like http://www.homemadeturbo.com where I can get information on turbo install procedures such as installing the boost gauge.

Thanks so much for your time and help.

 

On the water cooled Mitsu turbo's it doesn't matter which way the water flows through it. I can teel you right now from expericence that the oil seal on the Turbo is bad and time to rebuild or replace.

If you do opt to rebuild contact Geary @ Turbocity.com he usally has them instock for a really good price. Tell him Tim from Speed-Factor sent you.

 

Thanks so much for the info, I really appreciate it.
