does it burn oil too? I'm guessing the seals are shot. What kind of turbo and how many miles??

nope, i'm pretty sure i'm not burning any oil......the turbo is a turbonetics t3/to4b from a drag kit, only has about 2000 miles on it at the most (probably way less).

 

Mine used to do that after it would sit after driving it. It would burn off after a few minutes of driving. Running a restrictor at the turbo helped quite a bit for me. With a 3an line.

Most turbo's just use air differencial's too seal it up. On mine the only thing there is a snap ring which holds the shaft in.

Yeah, I only notice it after it's been sitting.......i guess it's not really leaking that much, but it's definitely leaking. my oil level looks good every single time i check it, but then again, i don't even drive the car that much.

by the way, where's a good site to order a restrictor with the line?

any other opinions would also be appreciated......

mine did that, then it stopped..

 

I would check the flange that is bolted to the oil drain on the turbo , I had the same problem and mine had a small crack in it , and mine also came with a drag kit , the flange looked like it was a cast peace not machined like the nicer ones ,

yeah, i can definitely check that.....especially since that's easy to get to! by the way b18c1cya, my manifold is on and i like it very much. i'll have to send you some pics or i'll probably just post one here......

 

thanks It took me almost 2 months to figure out where it was coming from , lol and then one day I tried to tighten it and it just let go in my hand no wrench or any thing just hand tight , haha

 

here's a pic for ya b18c1cya:



by the way, still open for opinions if others want to chime in........

i'm not sure if my line size is already 3an, but it came from the drag kit......

yup -3 in the drag kit

then do i even need an oil restrictor? or is it one of them things that "it wouldn't hurt"......?

 

the oil restrictor is a must for that small of a turbo

 

the gasket for that flange was leaking on mine too,im trying to find the same gasket as a matter of fact because i just twisted my center piece of the turbo to have the oil feed straight up and down with the drain

 

ok, here's a question.....

Since the oil restrictor will change the oil pressure that the turbo sees, will this change the way the turbo spools? Would it make such a difference that I would have to retune the car?

(sorry, just thought i'd ask out of pure curiousity)

ok, but you guys don't know why it stopped?

by the way, i've just spent half an hour searching wether or not i should use an oil restrictor, and now i'm confused more than before?!? some people say not, some people say to.

what about a -2an feed line instead of a restrictor?

 

ttt

 

i would def use a restrictor . hondas get alot of oil pressure,i just put a real small restrictor on mine,and it seems to be ok, i already driven the car aboput 30 miles
