Turbo seals again

[Big_daddy]

This annoyin, my car smoking quite abit now, alot on when i pull away, big puff of blue smoke, checked the ic pipin, they seem to be real oily, its annoyin as this is the 3rd turbo, now its doin it with ko3s now
I checked the oil return when i fitted the ko3s and sump hole (oil retunr attachemnt) didnt feel clogged.
If the oil pressure is too high can it blow the turbo seals> at what pressure can turbo seals fail on???

You sure its the turbo seals going? IC piping gets pretty oily anyway.

 

[Big_daddy]

yeh i think so, it only smokes alot once its full warmed up, can smell the oil @ a stand still, at idle it starts building up, when im off boost wait ofr a few seconds on to boost a puff os moke...
The N75 lines where quite oily too..

Out of interest are you running a catch tank and is the PCV valve still plumbed in?

Seems strange that the problem has persisted for 3 turbos. Do you have an oil pressure gauge?

Yes catch can fitted, with pvc valve removed too...i know man all 3 turbos doing my headin now...
No oil pressure gauge yet, but will be fitting that soon.. some next week....

Is it catching much vapour and completely separated from the intake, i.e. vented to atmos rather than plumbed back into the TIP?

When i 1st fitted it, didnt catch much but caught quite abit durin the cold weather...its venting to atomosphere, the mushrrom on the intake has been removed and plumbed..

I Have a problem the same as yours, what happens to the rocker gasket, as mine could be that?

 

[Big_daddy]

Mines are stem seals as confirmed...

if the rocker gasket leak..it cause the oil to seep into sparkplug housing and get burnt off..

 

[urbanracer8]

As in where the coil packs push in ?

 

[Big_daddy]

yes

 

[urbanracer8]

Surely ur plugs would be covered when you took them out ??
