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?

carlitosantiago

Yes I have an oil pressure gauge. under acceleration it's usally like at 80-90psi

Mindless

Is that the pressure before or after the restrictor?

carlitosantiago

It's was the same I believe

Mindless

I'm not boosted yet but I'm pretty sure that's waaaaaaay to much pressure to be going to your turbo. Maybe you have a faulty restrictor?

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?

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

Where would i get the restrictor you guys are talking about.

may be ur turbo is not getting enough oil to keep the seal alive. look how tiny the hole is on the inlet flange
