slosei Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 i will second that you need a restrictor on ball bearing turbos, and spray some brake cleaner down the oil feed pipe to make sure its clean from any dirt, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
civicturbo79 Posted September 19, 2009 Author Share Posted September 19, 2009 Well i got the replacment turbo yesterday , i fitted it today, i did not try the resistor idea as i was told not too, as there is a 5 mm hole in the top of the turbo for the oil feed and that is the right size and should not be messed with so,i was told to have a look at the oil return as it was the only other thing it could be other than the turbo ,sure enough the oil return hole was to low in the sump and it was only 8mm so i raised it to the top of the sump and made the hole 15 mm the same as the piping and the hole in the bottom of the turbo. its now spot on . i do not understand way this was never a problem before with the xs power t3 o4 's but its sorted now and im over the moon , its got the mot next sunday , tax on monday and the full map and santa pod the weekend after that . .
