Ollieh17 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Basically ive had some bad luck with turbos recently. All of them have smoked on boost and seeped oil in intercooler or not boosted at all. Just taken the pipes of the latest one which is off a 54plate 40.000mile subaru. All seemed spot on when i bought it. Now im either really unlucky or something is fucking them up? Maybe the way i rotate them or something? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 probly just your luck mate if you are carefull nothing happens when rotating there is more chance of damaging the props Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 When i bought it there was very minimal play, and know it wobbles a fair bit Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ollieh17 Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 Nope not that i am aware of Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yaristurbo Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Check the oil feed when fitting another turbo for a good flow, and make sure if it's a braided lines theres no kinks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turbo Grant Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Make sure your engine breather system is working properly Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 I have a hose from breather to a catch can. Then a hose venting out of the catch can. Then pcv valve running the stock setup Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ollieh17 Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 What banjo bolt do you use ?The one that came with the turbo. Oil return looks fine. Its the ASH one idworkz supplies Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turbo Grant Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I would check to make sure your pcv is working properly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 I would check to make sure your pcv is working properly.Will do!! Why would that cause the issue? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Because the excess pressure builds in whole engine and pressure has to force the oil out somewere.by the way you shouldnt have a pcv still in your rocker,it needs to be removed and replace with a free flowing open elbow. The pcvs are shite and only for emmisons Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_shaun_ Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 are you making sure you prime the turbo when u fit them? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GlanzaJ Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 are you making sure you prime the turbo when u fit them? What i was going to say mate, get the oil round the turbo before starting Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The pcvs are shite and only for emmisons just for refernce for members that have a smokey bastard for the emmisions i removed mine and used the stock cat and got 0.05 on low idle and 0.05 on high idle so better then a na ha ha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gilly Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 What does your oil return look like? very good question because if the oil cannot drain properly it will backfill into the compressor housing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wickedep Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 mate, check... oil pressure restrictor size. if td-series..it should be 5-6 mm's. too much oil pressure and it can for the oil out of the seals. check return line to make sure there are no blocks/restriction. install proper breather system. get rid of pcv.

Ollieh17 Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 Ill try all the above, cheers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gainzy Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 mate, check... oil pressure restrictor size. if td-series..it should be 5-6 mm's. too much oil pressure and it can for the oil out of the seals. check return line to make sure there are no blocks/restriction. install proper breather system. get rid of pcv.How does the engine gain more oil pressure? Just wondering cause the pcv valve can handle up to 1 bar boost pressure or does that not matter? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Check the oil return also, any slight kinks or blockages and it'll flood the turbo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Maybe the pcv can take a bar boost, wether they can or not you don't want it on that engine trust me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gainzy Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Maybe the pcv can take a bar boost, wether they can or not you don't want it on that engine trust me.Will a catch can from the pcv valve etc help Quote Link to post Share on other sites
