So far with my greddy kit, everythig has been perfect, until a few days ago when i noticed a oil leak, i posted a few days about this. Well, the car was fine and had oil. I took the car to the shop, The return line hose, must have gotten warped from all the heat, it was cracking where the clamp was, and a little leak had started. It was on there so bad, we had to unbolt the return line to pull the hose off.

Then i thought about it, im sure this hasnt just happend to my car, and if your not very knowledge able of FI, thats really easy to miss, just think if that line went poop when driving......

After an oil change, ide say check your return lines for warpage

THAT IS ALL...

 

+1 I had this same issue. New AAM oil return lines going in with the build that is currently underway.

 

I had similar problems, but mine were not cracked at the clamp just leaking from the clamp. I changed to a thicker oil and havent had a drop since.

 

actually thought we solved it, and this morning, i noticed some more fresh oil, not alot just a few drops. Put it on the lift, the line is rubbing against the turbo housing causeing this problem. Check your lines after oil changes guys

 

I had a something like that but i just put JB weld on the T fitting and no more oil coming out. But there was the fuel line that craked on me. Had to replace the line. Than there was the power strng line that busted too; replaced. Than the engine...... Thats when the fun began. Some times i regreat buying the greddy turbo kit. Sorry...

 

Plus 10 on this one LOL

I have severe oil return issues and my lines aren't even kinked or anything. My car hawls buttox but every time I whoop on someone on the street I gotta throw in some more oil. I go through about 3 qts in a week!

Luckily I got an appointment w/ Titan tomorrow morning and I'm getting all my oil retun lines expanded (possibly to dash 12).
If this doesn't fix the problem then I'm replacing turbos or selling my kit and going single turbo.

 

Let me know when you want to see a real turbo kit in action.

I'm pretty close to you.

 

you are probably losing the oil through your busted turbo seals

3 quarts is a ton!

 

hell yeah it is! I even stopped using Mobil one 10w30 and went cheap with Castrol GTX 10w30... $9.70 versus $20.23 ---> both prices are for the 1 gal jug

Ahhh I love it when ppl get cocky like this little blue 350 up here.
Well... I dunno if you'll beat me. You should with the alleged 430whp! I only got 367whp but I do have some impressive kills under my belt so don't talk smack just make sure you beat me now while you still can because I have a fully built motor on the way that's gonna make more than 430whp. You might even end up calling me a G41 coupe.

Oh yeah, recent kill (tonight):

Newer body red M3 with exhaust, intake and possibly tweaked EMS. Awesome race!!!

 

according to Bill at Redat of North America and Nero from Titan motorsports agreed with the statement that mitsubishi turbo seals cannot be "blown" they are simply metal rings much like piston rings that keep oil from moving from the core to the intake or exhaust sections of the turbo. When oil is backed up because of bad oil retun flow, the oil will seek immediate relief and the closest outlet is the oil seals.

 

I'm thinking of getting the aps oil pan. ANyone have one of these? I think it will help but 400 buks for an oil pan... OUCH

 

I have one. More oil capacity. Less chance of oil starvation. And COOLING.

I think it was worth the 400$, but some of the ricE-BAY seem just as good...

well, the line got fixed, but i noticed a small leak still, found out the turbo housing on the passenger side is rubbing on the power steering hose.

 

Not talking smack, I did not mean as a race, you said you wanted to sell your kit, I was just offering to let you check out my kit in person. But then you got all sensitive about it. I'd be more than gald to run you, Greddy TT vs APS TT and get it on cam for the people.

I'll have my built long block soon.

/end hijack.

 

The ricebay oil pan looks like a bargin - it appears to be exactly the same as my PE oil pan - but about $400 cheaper. Think the Taiwan caster wants to make a few bucks on a product he doesn't sell many of?

 

Has anyone here actually installed one? I'd like to hear a first hand review before I knock it.

 

There are 2 versions. Make sure you get the one with the big baffles for the anti-oilsurge effect.

Danny

 

No bad blood bro... I head about you from a few ppl. We should still run em' just for feces and giggles. LOL

I dunno about that ebay oil pan. I have an issue of sport compact car that analyses many of the knock-off parts online. Many are OK but that oil pan in particular was criticized heavily because if you cas aluminum the wrong way, it can crack under high heat and or stress and if we were talking of a part that's OK for it to break like a blow-off valve or an intake then fine but a broken oil pan in many cases could mean a blown engine.

 

The oil pan in the magazine was not this one, it was a greddy for another car.

 

Just to keep you guys updated, we pulled out the power steering line, and the turbo housing had gone through it. Tony and Kenny from Jotech, welded it back perfect and modified it so it wont rub the powersteering line, ill post some pics later. When i used to race, sometimes...in high rpm, ide hear something underneath my car rattling, i always thought i was the test pipes, turns out it was the PS line the whole time.
