Turbo B16a
 

I just installed a turbo on my b16a with 450's and an afc on 7 pounds,its running great accept sometimes when I stop or let it set for a min it smokes.I am running open dp so I get the joy of smelling it and it smells like fuel but its kind of looks like oil smoke? I have put about 150 miles on it and the oil seems to be fine maybe a little useage witch I thought was normal with the turbo? My friend J.Davis (who is doing my tuning when I get OBD1 ecu and adapter harnes!!!) set the afc to run the 450s a lil rich till then so i figure it might be a combonation of both? The only other thing is that the drain line that i had to use due to lack of funds ??? is kind of small!Any way thx for any info or knocks for the afc 450 injectors lol

I'd just switch to a bigger line like a -10 and see what happens. Either that or the turbo is getting too much oil pressure.

Re:Turbo B16a
 
That was my other worry but i have no way of checking the oil pressure till next week so.........? I wont be driving it much till then so would the oil backing up or over feeding hurt it till then not pulling boost..unless a mustang rolls up on me i have been waiting along time to put a light blue stripe down the side of one lol

dont be stupid. wait for your oil gauge.

check the pcv valve and replace it or clean it if it's too clogged. a bigger oil line will give more oil pressure so i'd run a -3an or -4an.

Re:Turbo B16a
 
the feed line is a 4an its the return line that is small witch i guess might be restricting the the flow ?

Ok lastnight when i got back from a short ride when i let the car run for a min befor shuting it off it smoked like a sob for about a min or 2.I am sure its not the rings the smoke was very heavy and then just stoped.Befor i installed the turbo i checked for shaft play and it did have very slight play in and out but i thought it wouldnt be bad enough to creat a problem,could this be it??

slight shaft play is usually normal.

check your charge pipes for oil.

if there's some there, you need a rebuild my friend

Re:Turbo B16a
 
Well I guess im going to try the bigger drain line and if that does not help where is the best place to get a rebuild kit for a t3???

where you live at in nc? anyways, yeah, try a bigger return line and make sure there are no kinks in it and it goes straight down. josheph doesn't have any ecu's?? hit me up if you need one, i'm in nc also.

Re:Turbo B16a
 
Im in Asheville and no josheph is fresh out of ecu's I think he sold them for crack rocks or traded them for Vtec stickers to put on his T rex lol j/k.Any way yeah I just talked to him and he said to see what you got so hit me up at djecko22@yahoo.com and let me know some prices
Thanks
