oil leak, new turbo
 

Alright, i just installed a turbo kit in my b16, and the first start up went fine, but the motor started smoking from where the turbo is....there is also a leak and the turbine housing between the cold/hot sides are wet from the oil...i 'm really worried, this is my first turboed car. The turbo is a brand new Garrett t3/t4. I hope the oil pressure didnt blow the seals:smackself:.I hope the motor is okay :icon_eek: I'm pretty sure the smoke is from the oil getting all over the damn place..but the leak?

x2 on the seals...
sorry to hear on your 1st turbo lol but always something goes wrong with a boosted honda

motor should be fine mine been boosted for about 9 months no problems till i just took it off 2 weeks ago..

Question: Did u go with a -3 oil feed? -3 is what I have always seen and used. What size drain? -10 is Common but I assume a -8 u could get by on.

Can you post up some pix. Bad drains can cause all sorts of trouble.

bad drains and no oil restrictor.

alright so the leak is gone, its hasnt leaked eve since i let the turbo cool after driving, very weird..oh well, going on a week without it leaking.

Be sure to get a tune and I hope you have a larger fuel pump and injectors.

^i do ;)
