Even though I have no fan and no fuel management I decided to take my car for a spin. The car runs good but I did notice that alot of smoke comes out when I come to a stop. 1st. if I take my drain line off should oil be coming out of the fitting in the pan 2. Could a bend in the drain line be causing the oil to go back up to the turbo?? I dont think my turbo is bad cause I took the piping off and there no oil in the piping.

no oil should not be coming out of the pan.

if it is, your return tap is to low..

1.on my b16 oil came out of the fitting on the pan.
2.my oil line comes out of the turbo goes down and then flat for about 4-5".what are u using for oil feed(what size line?).do u have a restrictor in the oil feed to cut back the oil going to the turbo?

does smoke kinda roll out from under the car when u stop,kinda like all the cyl. just took a crap at once?

...i put my fittimg up as far as possible, maybe b/c the b16 pan is kinda shallow

shortyz- Please tell me you are j/k! Beacuse I took the drain line to see if it was crimped and alot of oil was coming out of the fitting.

alwaystootall- I'm using stealth's oil kit. No I dont have a restrictor in the oil feed??

Yes. "kinda like all the cyl. just took a crap at once" What does it mean?

-on my setup oil comes out of the fitting on my oil pan when i take the line off. and i have it up as far as possible.
-when i say restrictor i mean a neddle valve so u can reduce the amout of oil the turbo is getting.
-kinda like all 4 of the cylenders(sp ) took a crap..like u are setting there and ur motor blew up all of the suddon.

yeah. But what does this smoke mean. Do you guys think its my return line?

what size is ur return line?
..i cant remember if i ran my car without the needle valve or not,i think i did, but i dont think i let it set very long and idle. but once i instaled the valve i turned it to where it was almost closed ,and everything was fine. so one day i decided to give the turbo a little more oil. and one night i was setting there talking letting it idle and the smoke started rolling from my dp. took me a while to think about it and i relized it must be oil backing up in the turbo. so i turned to valve back down and it has never done it again. just dont park on a steep hill with the front of the car facing downward,this will cause the same thing to happen

My car does the EXACT same thing.. i had been thinking maybe it was the oil drain line.. it also does it when i am engine braking down a hill.. everytime i asked everyone said it was my rings or ringlands, but i did a compression test a few days ago and got 180-180-170-175 which is good. So how exactly did you guys fix your probs?

no, he's not joking, oil should not come out of the drain fitting if you take the return line off, if so, this means that it is below the 'fill level', it needs to be above the oil level so that the oil can drain in to it, it will just get backed up and CAUSE YOUR TURBO TO SMOKE it's too low. do you have a pic of it? it should be about this high.......




sounds like you may have the same problem.
