The only thing I can say about the oil pan is that it shouldn't be a problem so long as you installed the fitting high enough. The reason being is that the TRD supercharger comes with a pan from Toyota that has a built in return. I am not sure on what is going on with this setup but I would definitely try the pcv block. If you are getting excessive crank case pressure it can push oil up into the turbo where it can back out the seals.

Let us know how you make out.

PS a restrictor should not be used on a journal bearing turbo.

 

thanks don for the response im gonna try the check valve deal.

 

yep big no no on oil restrictor with journal bearing.

 

F**k it im done. Im tired of worrying about this. It's not fun anymore. The kit and gauges will be up for sale as soon as it comes off. Hit me up if you want it.

 

Thats odd.. not saying its not true.. but ive seen alot of people use them.. Hell my friend uses one on his 60-1 on his eg hatch with b16. and hes been boosted for 20k same turbo no issues!

before he installed it, he used to get smoke the car when hitting vtec would push to much oil and smoke!

Make theres a certain case u need it?

 

Seriously?? Dude this is part of the fun. Building and learning as you go.

 

yea seriously. if i had a beater maybe i would stick with it but this is my dd and ive been without it for the entire summer. i just need a reliable car now.

 

at least try a new turbo first!

 

im sorry dave your having to go through all this stuff mang...do what you think is right bro and be happy with that choice is all the advice i can give ya. Good luck brethren.

 

Dave,

Sorry to hear about all your issues. If you need a hand with anything, dont hesitate to call me.

Just for the hell of it throw on a catch can, and see if the problem is still there. Or are you 100% positive that's not the issue and it is the turbo itself.

 

None of this makes any sense.

Turbo labryinth seals can hold 100psi or oil pressure.

Did you clean out your intercooler? It's possible that there is alot of oil residing in there and as you boost it's just blowing it through. I used to see that on VW 1.8T all the time after a boost leak test because the pressure would force the oil through the system. The K03 turbos suck and would always leak because they were soo small and those cars suffer from boost leaks bad, thus moving the turbo way out of it's efficiency. If you had a turbo failure before where it was leaking oil then it's possible that the intercooler could have a decent amount of oil in it. Also if you have any boost leaks you could be spinning the turbo too fast which will induce oil leakage from the compressor side. This is not a turbo problem then, it's an install problem.

Does anyone here know how to boost leak test a car? Let me know.

If you are not sure I will write up a DIY.

 

I myself am i boost leak pro! lol.. I used to have a dsm back in the day 2g 97+ awd!

im sure if you goto any dsm forum there is a great DIY! and a home depot shopping list!

 

i posted a thread a while back on how to make a leak tester...idk whatever happend to it...prolly have to write another one up...

hey Don go ahead bro...id like to see what you would come up with and i think its something everyone who is boosted should know how to do.

 

DIY would be nice, i think we should have one here too.. its been discussed many times but the threads just disappears

 

Damn bro this whole situation that your in sucks ***** and im sorry to hear it but good luck with what ever you do

 

If you need a boost leak go to Verocious. We just got a sweet new Smoke machine. Thing is awesome, makes the old way obsolete! Makes it real quick so your in and out in no time.
