Oil seal keep blowing out!!
Maybe someone could help me out on this. I Just put my engine back together after replacing that headgasket I blew out about 1.5 months ago when I turbo'ed my B16 Civic. When I blew the gasket my turbo also started leaking oil out of both side. I was using the stealthmode performance -3an oil lin kit as suggested buy our HMT community. I was advised not to use a -4an because it would blow the seals. It bought another turbo, and Yesterday I finally get my motor back together and drove for like 75-100 mile and smoke starts coming out of the exhaust like a freight train. I look at my turbo and find both sides and leaking oil again. I bought a Function 7 Oil inlet fitting with built in restrictor just so this would not happen again. What gives. What I'm I doing wrong???

Still getting too much pressure with the restrictor?
Do you not have an oil pressure gauge? |
Re: Oil seal keep blowing out!!
Yes I have an oil pressure gauge. under acceleration it's usally like at 80-90psi

the restrictor doesnt reduce the pressure, it reduces the volume. If you have the restrictor, turn it half closed, and check your oil return, it sounds plugged or kinked or somthing.

restriction in the oil drain line?

Re: Oil seal keep blowing out!!
I don't think there are any binds in the oil retun, it's pretty much a soft bend.
Also I don't have a restrictor I have a the fitting the is said to regulate the flowT3/T4 -3 AN Regulator Turbo Oil Inlet Fitting Function7 - Precision Machined, 7075 Billet Aluminum, -3 AN (JIC) male inlet fitting with integrated restrictor Part Number: F7T34-R3 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33742 www.function-7.com Where would i get the restrictor you guys are talking about. |
Re: Oil seal keep blowing out!!
may be ur turbo is not getting enough oil to keep the seal alive. look how tiny the hole is on the inlet flange
