So I finished my install on my turbo today, and as I primed it, it was all good. As I let it sit for a couple minutes I didn't have a filter or the piping on and it is spitting out oil.

Is this normal? :scared:

spitting out oil from where, the intake of the turbo, the power side? more info

 

[enjoi4586]

Yea the power side, where it compresses the air

I ordered a hass turbo and hooked it up. It wasn't the full kit, it lacked an emanage(i have pfc) and an intercooler. I wanted to be cool and buy a different intercoooler that was supposedly "bigger", which was what I got, but the wrong size .

I did just as they said, and help the trim for around 2 mins and then let go.

sounds very strange sense hass uses new turbos in his kits...i assume this is a GT28rs?

hmmm...

 

[enjoi4586]

Yep, the 28RS

 

[Smaay]

shouldnt be spitting oil from there, well from anywhere for that matter. i can only suggest that the seal is blown. send it back for a rebuild

 

[enjoi4586]

Should that happen for the first time or what? Because I'm about to go see if its still doing it. Is there anything I should check for, or monitor?

 

[boardernr]

no, that should not happen ever. make sure it's not coming from the oil feed or oil return lines, if it's actually comming out of the turbo, it's no good.

Do you have an oil line restrictor in place? Ball bearing turbo's don't like high oil pressure.

 

[enjoi4586]

No, Im using the Hass kit... Which I don't believe has one

Thing is, I haven't really even used the turbo at all

Haas doesn't include an oil inlet line restrictor??? I find that hard to beleive - post pics of the turbo and oil inlet.

anyways a GT28RS should never spit out out the compressor. Something is wrong. From the post you made i'm not certain if you actually started the vehicle, or just let it sit after cranking the car over to prime it and oil came dripping out?

Well.....I think I'm in the same band wagon. I looked under my car and I found oil everywhere. I think oil is leaking out of the compressor housing and I found a bunch of oil around the BOV. I'm thinking when I clocked the turbo I didn't tighten the housing down tight enough, hopefully that'll solve the problem. Inputs?

I primed it while it was started up and held it for like an added minute for security, and then waited while it idled, and thats what I got. I'll post picture in a few

 

[enjoi4586]

Alright I know these are kinda nasty pictures but bare with me





















Do what you guys do best: review, diagnose, and help me resolve this

If you would like any other pictures of anything else, just ask and I'd be happy to take some more

Thanks guys

 

[enjoi4586]

Can you name the things I could have done to cause this?

 

[SleeprGT]

Well it depends. If it is coming out of the turbo, the turbo is faulty. When you attached the oil lines, did you put in teflon tape around the connector parts to make sure they are snug? cause if they are loose it will leak oil.

Other than that All i can say is make sure your have the correct feeding oil line in the right hole in the turbo.

The full size pics are blurry as hell so its hard to say. I don't see a restrictor, but all the pics of where it WOULD be are blurry - can someone that talks to haas have him come help us out on this one and tell us where the restrictor is?

either way though the oil volume at idle shouldn't be high enough to make it leak - either a fitting is loose or the turbo is damaged or the return line is restricted

 

[enjoi4586]

No, because Hass believes that It'll be fine without it... or maybe I read it wrong.

I believe they said the teflon tape will burn off anyways, or something along those lines

either a fitting is loose or the turbo is damaged or the return line is restricted

I don't believe the fitting is loose because its not leaking from either of the inlet/outlet. I have the bung welded up as high as it can go on the pan. How else could I have blocked it?

 

[Boosted2.0]

Only if the return line is kinked somehow

Are you 100% positive that the new Garrett's need one? I know my IHI turbo doesn't run one. I'm not even sure its 100% consistent on the old T-series, depending on the CHRA.

But agreed, you would be able to tell easily by looking at the oil inlet of the turbo.
