Thread: Update(SMOKING IS GONE!!!)

it got rebuilt.... i just finished it. im leaving the shop now update later..... hehehehe

Impatient! Tsk tsk tsk...

welp......smoking problems continue..... wtf it didnt smoke the whole time that i was putting coolant in or at idle. which it ran for about 15 minutes or so i drove it to the gas station to fill her up with 93 drove about a mile down the Road caught a light and blam the smoke started pouring WTF 6 miles total..... driving is fine but as soon as i stop the smoke continues....

now me and tekk got to talking and he thinks that to much oil is filling the turbo up and its not draining fast enough.. my thing is that im running the stock lines.

HAS ANYBODY HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE STOCK LIKES THAT YOU HAVE TO RUN A RISTRICTER????

i thought u always had to run a restrictor, even with stock lines...

i dunno. i dont think i have one.. i thought you couldnt run one with a stock line?? matter of fact i dont even know what a ristricter looks like lol

No restrictor should be necessary.

damn it ben you just threw my only shot of sunshine out the window with that statement!

This is my reasoning as to why you need to run an external restrictor:

I don't feel comfortable with the built in restrictor on the turbo. Just becuase it's there, doesn't mean it's worth a damn.

I'm sourcing the parts for you know on ATP.

The first post I did, I wasn't thinking and showed you the restrictor for the BB T28, and you have a journal bearing (duh!)

More to follow.

An extra restrictor (and maybe a better flowing drain if that's possible) might be the answer. Just saying that there's nothing about your set-up that tells me you'd need one. Well, other than all the problems you've had blowing smoke. =/

It's certainly worth a try.

That's another thing I was thinking - The drain on the block is somehow not allowing optimum oil draining into the crankcase. That would cause the oil to back up into the turbo and leak past the seals (hopefully he's not running the car and blowing out the exhaust seal AGAIN.)

What I want to do for him, is have him run a -4AN feed line (for future upgrades if he desires), with the restrictor adapter. He'd run this directly off of a banjo fitting to AN adapter from the block.

I don't really know what the stock return line size is (isn't it 1/2" ID?) but I'm prepping his block that I've been cleaning for at a minimum a -10AN fitting for the return.
