Damn s13 turbo's
 

Will last time I made a post it was about my s13 oil seal on the turbo. Will I got another one off a motor I had sitting, anyways I put that fucker on with a oil gauge, oil to turbo was 20 psi but the fucker started to smoke again. I'm like WTF again :7. Is it the turbo or something else?

what kind of smoke ? when dose it smoke ex. idle, boost ?

Re: Damn s13 turbo's
 

im gonna give a shoot out to my pal... blowby. taking a wild guess here. but if the smoke is blue and you have new seals/no signs of turbo drainage in the dump then i would guess that. do a compression check and see whats goin on.

It is at idle, i did not want to go in to boost a to see what would happend.

Both nissan t25's I have used smoked at idle until I installed a restrictor valve and turned it almost all the way closed. I disconnected the oil feed line and had a buddy of mine crank the engine (pulled the plug wire from the dist. cap so it wouldn't fire) several times while I held the line in a clear container and watched the amount of oil flow. I was actually surprised how much flow I had from just cranking the engine. I closed the valve and then opened it until the oil began to squirt through. That's where I left it and its been great since.
I don't think the like much pressure

I have tryed to close it to almost to 0psi but I can't it wont stay there. The other thing I can do is to use a 300zx twin turbo I got for free ;D, it still has the small oil line still on it.The line for the turbo is small enough that it will fit inside my oil feed, but would it still get to much oil pressure?
