Hey whats going on i've been boosted for 6 mounths now gone though 2 turbos already seals went. i have a 1990 honda crx 1.5 156,000 runs perfect so i decided why not boost it for now i've got another engine if the 1.5 goes always can switch it out. I just put a volvo turbo in it dnt really no what the specs are just needed a turbo real quick so i put it in no shaft play ran good for about a week boosting 6 psi now i can smell oil bruning but its not my turbo seals so i checked my compersion 1-210, 2-185, 3-205, 4-205 i dunno if number too. cylinder is slowly closing compersion what would do this running lean or to rich? i have hondata- 300 i can put more fuel into any cylinder i want should i and if so how much percent u think? what do u guys think? it dosnt smoke going down the road but if its running for a loing time while ur sitting smoke comes out if u rev on it some comes out then sumtimes when u rev on it nothin comes out untill u let of gas jsut a lil bit not alot.

thank you,

cut the oil psi down going to the turbo use a valve..

 

I really dont think its the turbo seals again i was jsut asking if maybe sumone had the same promblem and if its my rings?


thank you.

Pull the plug for cylinder number 2. Insert a piece of hose into the plug hole and pour a little oil (about 2 caps) into the cylinder then do another compression test. If the test result is higher than before/the same as the others, your rings need some attention.

 

you still need to restrict the oil pressure getting to the turbo thats what kills the seals in the turbo.

and do what stan said.
