3.1 Turbo Smoking like crazy ***Retarded DIS plug***

[birdman]

what if you shift to neutral? does it smoke?

You need to get some mechanix gloves and spray the turbo bolts with PB Brakes Loose penetrating oil. the bolts have to be backed out by hand and it makes your fingertips go numb. 13 mil. socket and end wrench to break them.

you didnt know, thats what all the kids are doin now days

[TurboGTU]

Let the car idle without the trans line connected. See if it will smoke. Then go for a spin. If it does it again..its the oil return line.

 

DID YOU CHECK THE OXYGEN SENSOR FOR OIL RESIDUE?

[mfewtrail]

theres alot of oil in my TB showing up

 

Check the IC pipes and look at the compressor outlet on the turbocharger for signs of oil leakage. A bad cold side(compressor) turbo oil seal can cause the issue you've described in your post. I had a bad seal on one of my Volvo's when I first got it, it smoked pretty badly(blue smoke) as it was burning a lot of oil.

[Prospeeder]

the only oil is in the TB, no futher down the line, its just starts too pol up like crazy around the connectiong between the TB anc IC pipe and gets it all saturated in oil. Ill check the o2 today. Oil return line, causes smoke out the back then, how can i check for that?

Wait wait wait....you have not done the oil return line? How long have you owned a TGP and given advice to others about repairs? 8)

[Prospeeder]

lol, ok ok, is there a way i can check for those, or should i go on blind faith Part number for em, how to install them, like, does my turbo need to come out and what not

[Prospeeder]

well, the motors not burning anything, the o2 and the plugs look great, must be those damn return lines, i got some info on them, a hydrolic line, i got all the specs on that, under 10$ so its not too big a deal then

Here's a quick picture of the oil return line.

 

 

 

It's not the greatest picture, but the hose is roughly an inch in diameter, usually covered in oil, and comes out from the underside of the turbo, and goes to a steel tube connected to the oil pan. It's easy to take off and replace.

[Prospeeder]

"hydraulic hoses and tell them that you need a 5/8 inch by 12 inch ID oil return hose for a turbo"

 

Is that the correct measurment? thats whats been posted all over the TGP forum. now what kind of clamps are these? Like screw off, the ones u use pliers to pinch to take off?

 

Thanks for the Pic!!

[TGPilot]

Not sure how it it secured stock...but make sure it is a 5/8" I.D. (Inside Diameter) hose. A couple of worm gear clamps will hold it in place just fine...no pressure in the return line. 8)

[Prospeeder]

so are both ends easily acessable then, like to get a worm gear clamp on with a screw driver?

[Prospeeder]

hey i dont have to drain the oil pan do i? scince one ends off the oil pan

[TGPilot]

Not unless your car is laying on it's driver side! This hose is nothing more than a ZERO pressure drain return to the oilpan. 8)

[Guest TurboSedan]

where are you guys buying your oil drain hoses anyway? i couldn't find any place here in town that would sell anything that would work. i was thinking i'd probably just order a hose from turbosunleashed.com instead, but i haven't looked around too much yet.

[Prospeeder]

should be hydrolic hose u can find at diesel shops iv herd

 

My Lines inside liner was peeling off making like bubbles like a head liner would when it starts to fall, bad i take it, lol, that was SO easy to take off, lol

[LukeZ34]

There's your smoking problem!

[Guest TurboSedan]

yeah, that hose is very easy to replace. i'm not sure exactly what hydraulic hose is made of, but i'm pretty set on using silcone hose like the factory used.

[Prospeeder]

lol, my dads not convinced it would do it, lol, what exactly causes the smoking from the line being clogged?

Search for turbo drain line, youll get alot of responses using hydrolic line, and the stock one is called a hydrolic line i belive

[Guest TurboSedan]

i don't think the silicone hose is hydraulic hose, because i doubt it could stand up to that type of pressure.

 

the smoking is due to oil not being able to drain freely, causing the oil to back up get pushed out of the seal in the turbo. or at least that's how i understand it.

their website used to say they sold that hose in bulk. it doesn't say that now but i'm betting they still do.

[Prospeeder]

better make sure the inside diameter is 5/8, so whats so wrong with a hydrolic hose then?
