so I was ripping it down the highway... watching my stupid wastegate not opening till 14psi as usual wondering when my motor was going to blow up when the charge pipe coupler closest to the turbo outlet blows off..

so I pull over and check it out.. oil... oil everywhere.. all through the outlet pipes of the turbo and my charge piping.. I have no shaft play, turbo doesnt burn oil or anything.. anyone know if I just blew a seal in the turbo or something? anyone run into this before?

im running a t25 and i beleive its from a 96 or so eclipse gst.. any help would be appreciated

 

are you using any kind of oil restrictor?

 

Nope oil line goes straight from my T i put on my pressure sending unit to the turbo..

never heard of a oil restrictor.. want to explain it a little bit for me ?

 

Do a little searching on oil pressure feed, there's info in the sticky's.
Long story short, turbo's dont need much pressure, but the engine put's out a lot.

 

yeah it could be too much pressure from the motor or it could also be too big of oil feed lines what size are you using?

 

im using this kit here..

guess I will check into this oil restrictor..


like i said im running a T25 from a 96 eclipse gs-t and im running a d16z6... oil pressure at full throttle/high rpms is 80 and idle is 20.... can someone suggest what oil pressure restrictor I should be running and where to get it?

thnx
