Help,

My turbo smokes, it has a russian rebuild, Perfect oil return, Stealthmode niglet oil restrictor at 25%, and a fine mix of Gearlube & Nosmoke..

yet it continues to blow smoke. I am tired of smokey turbos, how come they cannot be perfect from the junkyard, Why is it every one I get blows smoke, leaks oil or sounds like a ------- freight train.

PS,
I love smoke

 

Did u checked the shaft play in-out and side-to-side when buying it?? make sure the the oil comes into the line with proper strength or else it will blow :P
Restrictor is a nessesity

 

i dont think the noobs know who abaz is quite yet

 

who is he? God :P
he's a moderator...... no one even after having decades experience in motor works can be an expert :P.... so xpect anything from anyone :P not only from noobs

 

Hes the man whomith created this magnificent place.

Have you tried to let less flow from the restrictor? Or always kept it at 25%? I would try that real quick before you start taking the turbo off to inspect it.

 

Yea!! and i really appritiates him on creating such an informative forum, this is a great help.

i think oil restrictor should be opend completly just to check if its not blocking the oil completly or the exact quantity which is needed.
When u install the turbo, does it acutally smokes as soon as u start the car/or when the car gets upto NOT? or when u give a couple of boost runs i still doubt the oil pressure thingy

 

You silly guy! You have to INVERT the whistle tips on those junkyard turbos. This creates a reverse negative oil flow directly to stabilize the inhertia created by the thrust bearing spacer plate which in turn gaurantees that your turbo won't smoke. It has to have Garrett internals too .

 

put dirt in the coolant holes and blockem off for a sweet bush fire smell

 

Salami makes me giggle.


Must be on a B-Series, because honestly I rarely hear of D's causing smoke from oil pressure. I was fine without a regulator. Who knows?


P.S. Covering cars in rushhour traffic does NOT = love. You, Jeff, are a mad man.
