So I have some question about a B-series turbo (B16-T3/T04E)

1. After engines warmed up the oil light fickers or is on under 1.5 Rpms
( -10 Return belive -4 feed ) What or why does this accour?

2. Turbo whine, Simular to how a semi or dumb truck would sound but all the time even when steady on the gas.
(T3/T04e with 3in down pipe that goes straight down from turbo and stops at oil pan)

3. Ever since I installed the turbo (hmt kit) I Have herd this whine sound coming from the Itake cam erea of the head next to the cam gear. I at first thought this might be related to the oil light but it does it even when the light isnt on. Sounds simular to a S.c?

Any ideas?

 

how much oil pressure? did you put a manual gauge on it?

 

-4AN is large for a feed, and make sure that the return line isn't kinked. As for the rest, whoa... there's a lot more going on than you may be telling us.. more information, please.

Any help?

 

Information like:
-Was the turbo new or used when you bought it?
-The downpipe ends at the Oil pan? Or is this the dumptube coming from the wastegate?
-Is there any smoke coming from the exhaust system?
-Is there any oil from the turbocharger?
-Was it recently abused? used heavily?
-What is your oil pressure AT THE LINE?

 

Information like:
-Was the turbo new or used when you bought it? -USED
-The downpipe ends at the Oil pan? Or is this the dumptube coming from the wastegate? THE DOWN PIPE IT SELF ENDS AT THE OIL PAN
-Is there any smoke coming from the exhaust system? YES
-Is there any oil from the turbocharger? YES INBETWEEN THE HOT AND COLD PARTS OF THE TURBO IT LEAKS
-Was it recently abused? used heavily? ITS BEEN DRIVEN ON
-What is your oil pressure AT THE LINE? DONT KNOW

 

These are some serious problems here. You've used too big of a line, to where it is possible you've destroyed the seals of the turbocharger. I also would change that downpipe location away from that pan to not heat up the oil any more. I'd make sure that no 90 degree angles on the return of your turbocharger, you may experience the same thing after a rebuild. Pictures could really help.
