having trouble with turbo...
well I installed all my turbo stuf and this is what I have and what my problem is....
91 crx si d16a6
hf manifold w/ custom adapter plate
t3 turbo off a mx6
1g bov
390 cc injectors
custom downpipe
...my problem is that since I got home the other day the car has smoked whitish blue at idle and when not in boost. When I am in boost it does not smoke from what I can see. It used to hit 5psi when I put in on but now it only hits 3 or maybe 4 psi at times. I checked the compression and all is fine no oil in radiator or coolant in oil(no milk oil under cap). any suggestions or advice will be much appreciated. u can contact me on aim at lowrollincrx or on yahoo at jdmcrx1. I will be on most of the night. Thanks for everyone's help and support of the boosted crx! ~Tony~

Re:having trouble with turbo...
You used brake line as your oil line? I hope you didn't use it for your oil return. 
If so, you need to change it to a LARGE one.

Re:having trouble with turbo...
Ok. What are you using to control those 390cc injectors? Is the idle rough?

Re:having trouble with turbo...
Two possible solutions.
1. Install a valve in the oil feed line. The turbo might be getting too much oil pressure.
2. Replace turbo seals. They might be bad. How old is the turbo? How many miles are on it?

Re:having trouble with turbo...
ok... my oil setup EXACTLY is on the back of the block, there is an brass nipple that has a small piece of coolant hose hookes up to it, then that hose it connected to the oil line and then the line is then connected to another piece of coolant hose which in turn is connected to a series of fittings with 2 90' fittings then into the turbo... that is my WHOLE oil setup... now, do u think that is too much oil... I am asking honstly, cuz it is leaking on the exhaust side cuz I pulled the charge pipes off the intake side aand it still smoke so... u think it is too much oil pressure? if it was wouldnn't it have smoked from the get go? sorry for all the questions just really need a car right now and I want it boosted! lol Thanks, for all ur support guys...~Tony~
