Turbo Build !!!

[Z U L8R]

oil everywhere.......hopefully you didn't crack a piston/ring/or ring land. if there's a bunch of oil coming out of the valve cover breather then it'd be a good idea to do a compression test on all the cylinders and make sure you didn't pop your motor.

blowing a turbo seal means smoke billowing out of your exhaust when the car runs...blowing your motor (in this scenario) means excessive crankcase pressure forcing oil out of everywhere it can......which is what it sounds like you did...

a turbo kits one thing.....whether ebay or the most expensive kit in the world....but not being tuned for either, will most assuredly leave you with a blown up motor.....

If theres oil all over the manifold, its prolly just the feed line is loose or burnt through. You cant get oil that high up from a blown turbo seal, just oil out of the exhaust

[ej1boy95]

well i havent looked at my car. but basically theres a quart of oil sitting right where the downpipe is. this much came out in a matter of 30 seconds, cause i let my car idle for a little while. how could this much oil come out so fast ? and my car has been smoking a little when i first crank it up.

[ej1boy95]

before this happened there was a tiny bit of oil coming from the feed line and risistor plate. and also i had oil leaking from the oil pan gasket. but theres oil on the intercooling piping that come off the turbo and before this happened there was oil on the return line. but i still dont see how this much oil came out in 30 secs.

[dallasb84]

get sum pics man.....


take all your oil lines loose clean them and reassemble nice and tight..... clean the gasket too.....

if your drain line is wrong oil will push past the oil seal in the turbo causing it to go out the exducer

[ej1boy95]

ok i will get some pics tomorrow. but what is the exducer ?

[dallasb84]

turbine

[ej1boy95]

so it would be blowing oil through the piping and into the motor ?

[ej1boy95]

ok well im posting up some pics. from installing the turbo. sorry it has taken so long to get them up and its not a lot of pics. i havent got up under the car yet to look at the situation i got because its been below 30 degrees with like 9 degree wind chill everyday. hopefully i will get to look at it tomorrow.

[tdurr]

the oil feed/drain set up isnt in the best spot, esp. with the feed resting on top of the mani. Pull off the pipes that clamps right on the turbo and see if there is oil in them.

[dallasb84]

yeah your turbo should not be at an angle... you need to get a 45* an fitting to get that line off the manifold..... i bet its melted

post a pic of the drain line.....

i think that might be your issue..... the oil feed and drain

so yall think that since the turbo is at an angle the oil isnt draining properly and oil is sitting in the turbo.

[scttydb411]

you melted through the feed line inside the braided sleeve more than likely. angle isn't too bad as long as the drain is a good diameter and no low spots in it. if you can straighten it out more it won't hurt, but the angle isn't likely the issue.

When joey told me you were goin turbo. I said "Nooooooooooo!!!!!" You know how rare the Jackson Racing S/C is??? Plus it was clean like it was. G/l with the oil leak though.

[-S Double C-]

without a doubt that oil feed line is fucked being right on that manifold like that

This car was in its prime in 2000....u have no idea how cool this car WAS. Cleanest one on the road. I was really upset to hear about the change as well

yea a lot of ppl hate that i took it off. but i guess the SC just wasnt me. ever since i was like 10 ( when i started to get into cars ) ive always wanted a turbo so thats what im doingg. lol sorry everyone

yup u and shawn are right. i looked at the feed line and theres rubber goozing out of the braided steel. so im going to the parker store tomorrow to get a new one made with a 90 degree elbow on it.

ight might not have the supercharger anymore. but it is still the coolest and cleanest. lol

You can gladly buy it back.

[ej1boy95]

You can gladly buy it back.

haha. nah man im good. all the trouble i went through. im keeping the turbo.

[tdurr]

haha. nah man im good. all the trouble i went through. im keeping the turbo.

good to hear u found out the problem. hope everything else works out for ya man! btw need more pics!! lol

[dallasb84]

make sure you get it a foot or two longer so you can get it out of the way.....

moar is better

[tdurr]

he shouldnt need it, he should be able to go around the dizzy and bring it right over the top of the turbo.

[ej1boy95]

well i got a 45 degree angle and i new hose made today. i put it all on and i havent seen any leaks. everything looks good so far. now the only problemi have is relocating the return line. cause my stupid self didnt measure were i need to put it before i started to drill. so the fitting on the oil pan is right in front of the downpipe and the return line is wrapped around the downpipe. i put 3 layers of heat wrap around it till i can get a new oil pan and do it right.

[tdurr]

lol 3 layers should do u right. d series right?

[jojeezek]

good luck with the build. i'm building a d16 turbo too.

[jojeezek]

you will have no problems with the manifold..... one of the best cast manifolds made for the b series was a "drag" brand that your manifold is knocked off of. if that makes any sense. lol

good luck\



i got a tip for you


get some siemens deka high impedence injectors.... they are CHEAP and dont need resistor boxes..... plus.....THEY ARE CHEAP.

i got them for 40 bux a pop for 60lb 660s

Good tip on the injectors....where did you buy them from?

[ej1boy95]

lol 3 layers should do u right. d series right?

yea its a d series

[ej1boy95]

does anyone know a really good way to tap an oil pan. or good fittings so that i willl have a good seal

[dallasb84]

yes....

you should weld it on..... or have it welded on...

get a steel an fitting....

weld it on..... then with oil still in the pan drill it out.....

the oil on the back side with flush the chips out..... ive done about 6 oil pans like this with no problems....

one time i burned a small pin hole throught the pan tho...... i had to wait for the oil to drain at that point.... it sucked.

[dallasb84]

they make "bulkhead" an fittings too..... they work but you gotta drop the pan...


look for a tapped pan

[tdurr]

I just got another oil drain and bolted it on to my oil pan. lol works great and i can block if i ever get rid of my boost.

[ej1boy95]

yea right now i have my fitting bolted on. but it makes me paranoid everytime i drive it, cause i think oil is going to leak out and im going to lock up my motor. lol but getting it welded sounds like a good idea, ill think about that one.

[tdurr]

meh, locktight/super glue on the bolt and ur straight. I used some lock washers and its held up fine since july*knock on wood*

[ej1boy95]

lol

[dallasb84]

i swear to god if you let this build thread die with no dynos or tuning snapshots..... close up pics and a completed post.....

im going to neg rep you.

[tdurr]

ill just shank him....
