got the car started last nite after a few problems with wastegate, only to hav more problems my turbo oil fed pipe i presume is to big ended up with neat oil coming out of exhaust!! i thought when we made the pipe up it was abit ott , so today is another day and back to the drawing board its a garett t04s \'NOT:xconfused \' ball bearing what diameter fed line should i use ?? please help i need to drive her soon its getting to me driving her corsa!!!!
bump would like to get to the bottom of this 2 nite please
you could ask one of the vendors for advice, Carl might help
I would assume that the pressure/oil volume is regulated by the smallest diameter within the feed in total - in other words, even if you feed is too big, it will then be governed by the opening within the turbo - you won\'t be able to force more oil through that hole than it can take. That\'s what A-level physics has taught me! :p
Where did you get the turbo from? Is it definately brand spanking new? Even when i was over oiling my turbo, I was only get small amounts of oil through the seals at higher rpm.
what size is you oil return pipe???
are you running a breather system/catchtank???

Come on give us a clue, I should be starting mine soon, don\'t want to have to come back on asking question\'s if I get the same problem.
Cheers
it starts with flow inlet and ends with return or is that return and flow doh!!
Got ya!!:D
Hi LRP,
I have only just spotted this.
The oil feed line may need to have a restrictor in it to prevent over pressurisation of the bearings.
It is also most important to have a big drain from the turbo to the sump.
What is your drain tube diameter?
Regards
Carl
cheers carl the fed pipe is 3mm and the return is off the top of my head 9mm is this ok on a garrett to4s non ball bearing??
