sosolid Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 My Glanza sprays small droplets of oil on the inside of the bonnet from the boost solenoid next to the engine. If i close this then it wont boost and will think its on low boost. It didnt do this before and has started like a week ago. When i dont boost its ok but when all three lights light up then it sprays alittle. What can be causing this. Its that little tube nextto the cambelt, which is used to put high/low boost on. Why is this doing this now. Onwed the car for three years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TrisK Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Id probably say turbo seals? although im not sure Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuDoc 72 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I wouldn't think its the turbo seal Trisk mate as it on the comp side. Is it smoking on or coming off boost? Sounds a bit strange though all the same. Try looping the turbo. There is 3 nozzles on the turbo. 1 on the comp side. 2 on the acutator. Link the 1 on the comp side to the obvious 1 on the actuator. The other on the actuator which is at an awkward angle leave open to the atmosphere. This will bypass the hi/lo boost soleniod and leave you constantly on hi boost. After that see if you have any smoke. If you can post a couple of pics of your bay and turbo I can get a better idea of your vac set up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sosolid Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 it already is on hi boost all the time. but it just started to do it. THeres no smoke or loss of boost. Pulls fantastic in all revs and gears. When boost comes on it spits ting dots of oil onto the bonnet. U know thers a solenoid nxt to the cambelt where the hi/low boost pipes would criss cross. Well that pipe is venting into the atmosphere. Its coming out of that little pipe. When i dont boost its ok. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuDoc 72 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I cant make much sense of what your trying to explain mate take a pic of your bay and the turbo set up and then go from there. You can do as I said loop the actuator straight on to the turbo and you can remove the solenoid and all the piping for the hi/lo controller. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
conz1 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 this might be silly but.. you sure its coming out of that pipe? i had an oil leak and it went onto the power steering belt and would flick up onto the bonnet, just a thought Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Weyro Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 ^^this it cant be coming from the solenoid, its only a switch that opens and closes, and since u have bypassed it it never sees any boost. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuDoc 72 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 HAHA if thats what it is I'll be in knots. Technically oil could get into it if it was in use. Bypassed though It would be quite incredible lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sosolid Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 Uploaed a pic on my display pic its. when boostong its spits out oil. its that small pipe next to the cambelt cover that small tube . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WallaceGlanza Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 It has to be hooked up wrong if oil is really coming out of there, it's just a vacuum line going to the actuator which has no oil in it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sosolid Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share Posted June 21, 2013 (edited) my old turbo burned out and my friend got a rebuilt one from his friend. When its on boost its spits out oil from the vacuum line onto the bonnet. When not on boost its ok. no oil or anything. Its 100 percent coming from there because i put a rubber hose on it and then put that in a water bottle. Drove it and when I lookied there was oil inside the bottle so its def coming from that. Could he have hooed it up wrong. Any suggestions? anyone have any pics of how it should be hooked up so i can show my friend. Edited June 21, 2013 by sosolid Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 A lot of people don't use that vac at all unless your tuning stock air filter set up stock actuator and high low boost setting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sosolid Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share Posted June 21, 2013 It didn't do this before. Could it be there is a prob with the turbo??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuDoc 72 Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Loop the turbo and rip out the boost soleniod like I said then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 I have no idea bud it's a vac so sucks in not blows out (hehe) are you 100% it's Defo coming out of there and not being chucked up by the pas belt say from a slightly leaking cam seal ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sosolid Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share Posted June 21, 2013 yh its def coming out from there. we put a rubber tube isn't it and put that into a empty bottle. there was oil in the bottle. the turbo doesnt smoke or anything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sosolid Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share Posted June 21, 2013 (edited) Loop the turbo and rip out the boost soleniod like I said then. but doesnt the boost solenoid connect to the actuator? even if i leave it open aint that same thing as having the boost solenoid connected to it.? plus its on hi boost all the time. wont oil still come out of that?

StuDoc 72 Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 You can loop the nipple on the turbo to the nipple on the actuator therefore excluding the boost solenoid. Then rip out the solenoid. Take off the power steering pump and remove all the vac piping for the solenoid. Problem sorted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sosolid Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share Posted June 21, 2013 so usuallly the nipple facing up on the actuator conects to the nipple on the compressor yeah. and the second nipple on the actuator that faces the boost solenoid connects to the boost solenoid yeah. so instead of that connect the compressor nipple to the nipple on the actuator that is facing the boost solenoid leaving the nipple facing up on the actuator open yeah?

sosolid Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share Posted June 21, 2013 found a pic on the net of how my turbo vacuum looks. should i switch the actuator conensctions? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
