ok i finally got to put in my turbo kit again after several months of driving stock...after i put everything on oil is leaking out from the hotside out of the downpipe...first i thought my turbo needed a rebuild so i took my bros turbo (same specs) and its still leaking from the exhaust side...then i thought it had to be my return line because it was routed all funny so i redid my oil pan and had the line straight with no curves or kinks in the line...after that tried both turbos again and its STILL leaking!!! now i see some oil leaking out between the head and block where the tranny meets block (where a piece of the headgasket is visible...the oil leaking out from the exhaust is like milky seems like theres coolant mixed with it but i took the manifold out again and there were no signs of oil leaking out of the exhaust ports of the head!!! wat the heck can be wrong??? im clueless rite now so any help will be greatly appreciated

 

Oil is leaking from your head and splashing onto your downpipe maybe ?

Probably leaking oil and coolant from the head gasket, into the combustion chamber, through the exhaust valve/port, into the turbo and out the DP. Do a compression check, see if you are low/have mixed coolant and oil.

Yea youd think but he said no signs of it in the exhaust ports , maybe his oils just getting sludged and its going through the feed like that . But i kind of doubt it .

 

oil is actually dripping out of the downpipe...i opened up the downpipe and all i see was oil and milky sludge on the inside of the exhaust side...just took it off again...no oil watsoever on the exhaust ports...

 

too much oil pressure perhaps ?

 

Sorry, I missed that part. Check and see if you're suppose to run a restrictor on your turbo (assuming you dont already have one). Alot of the newer turbos require/need a 1.2mm restrictor on the oil line.

 

That oil whitish sludge u see is condensation mixed with ur oil in ur downpipe...

Now how oil got into your downpipe is a good question...

 

that i have no clue at all...i also think it is condensation cause wen i took off my wastegate, it has some liquid splashed on it but it wasnt oil...more like water of some sort...im just straight clueless rite now..

Well if there is none in the exhaust ports, then the answer is obvious, being that there is only one more place for the oil to come from. Unless ofcourse the heat from the exhaust is burning the oil off until "after" the turbo where it then cools or something crazy like that.

 

skool is comin around the corner and im stressin bout this **** like crazy...only other thing i can think of is oil is coming in too fast and going down real slow which in turn floods the inside of the turbo and making it leak out...but how the heck can that be since the feedline is like 10 times smaller and longer then the return line!!!

 

what turbo do you have? Keep in mind that incoming oil is under 70psi or so of pressure and the return isnt under any.

 

i have a turbonetics t3/t4 50 or 60 trim .63 hotside...so can i just put a restrictor on there?

 

I don't think that turbo requires a restrictor....so idk....but yes, its basically just screws inline with the oil feed right where it meets the turbo.

 

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! damn IM STUCK!!!!!!

 

started it up for a little bit today and noticed alot of water splashing out from the dp...it wasnt oil nor fuel....AN fitting started to leak oil so im changing that out 2morro..oil is still leaking from the corner where the head meets the block and the tranny meets the block so im guessin maybe a blown headgasket...changing that out 2morro...ill give u guys any updates...any more info will be appreciated

 

goddamn it!!! its still LEAKING!!! dont kno wats wrong...

 

anybody kno wats wrong?

 

Your in CA, so surely there must be a reputable Honda shop you could take your car to.

 

i would but i honestly sometimes dont trust them as they can just say some BS and charge me a grip...neways i used a drag manifold along with my cuzzins turbo and it STILL leaking...WTF????

 

Maybe some pics would help?

 

im guessin there is too much oil comin in and flooding the turbo and not goin down fast enough??? cause tryin 3 turbos and 2 kinds of manifolds with the same problem aint rite!!! is there anykind of oil restrictor thingy???

 

thinkin about an oil restrictor but turbonetics said its not good to run a restrictor on a turbonetics t3/t4 turbo 57 trim .63 ar...wat do u guys think?

 

Stop bumping this when obv. no one knows. Try this in the forced induction forum.

Like I said, at least get some pics to show exactly where it is coming from.

 

you need to be using an oil restrictor...I would never run a turbo on a Honda motor without one...Those seals will go in the turbo, if they haven't already...Did you tell turbonetics what motor youre running their turbo on??? Unless their turbo has an oil restrictor already on it, I dont see how they would suggest you run it without one
