so i figured out that i'm burning oil im my 99 civic dx, not because of my turbo oil return but because of my oil feed. My turbo is getting to much oil. It is a dsm t25 and i have -4an going to it. Is this too big? Should I go to a -3an? I also read something about hooking of a valve to the turbo oil inlet that will restrict some of the oil. I just bought an oil pressure gauge but it isn't hooked up yet. Can anyone give me any suggestions on what i should do.
Thanks

 

i think alot of people here have been using a needle valve with much success.

 

can you tell me a little more about this and what i would need.

 

im gonna put a needle valve on my oil line and a oil pressure gauge after the valve to check the pressure. I think it has to be 80psi or a little below? someone correct me if im wrong

 

use a thinner oil feed line...

 

'maximum boost' page 41 it explains it all. the 60+ your giving it is not good...

 

so whats a good PSI level for oil feed?

 

how much thinner should i go -2an or -3an?

 

im probably just gonna run an oil cooler inbetween to kill two birds.

 

-straight out of Maximum Boost-

5-25 min up to 60-65 max. Anything more than that and you're likely to overpower the seal and cause it to smoke
