Kink Or Resistance In An Oil Return Line From Turbo

Hi,

i had another thread about my issue of puffing some smoke but it's garnering alot of interest. I thought my issue might be seals, but i'm starting to consider my turbo being the problem. its hi-flo neo 25 turbo.

Just wondering if anyone by chance has ever had a situation where their oil return line was kinked or just plain was functioning. what are the symptoms of that, is it possibly to get periodical burning oil, perticularly at idle when stopping at lights?

when you have a kink or a un smooth return the oil builds up and causes pressure to be put on the turbo oil seals they then blow out when the oil cannot drain back to the sump quick enough it happened to my mate when he could not find a hose with a bend in it to return to the sump ended up blowing the seals bad and blowing insane amounts of smoke out of the exhaust

i so called "friend" who thinks he knows everything put my turbo drain line back on with half a tube of goo, it pretty much blocked the return line and it stuffed the turbo in 2 days, that was a GT3540 turbo. they don't like oil blockages very much.

      That's the most absurd thing I've ever heard. I would go cut bellhousing over that monstrosity of a flywheel all day, every day. It puts a lot more mass further from the last main bearing. I've had nothing but problems with Collins in the past and refuse to ever buy their products again. I would not trust anything they tell you. He's playing his salesman card.  I'm currently at 640whp on a mustang dyno (~770bhp) with the intentions of running E85 and a lot more power this upcoming spring. Cheers,

      Nah, it's not the reduced knock margin. It is a direct mechanical effect of having to initiate the combustion earlier, while the piston is still rising, which starts to exert combustion pressure on the rising piston earlier, making the rest of the engine work harder to finish driving the piston up to TDC where the combustion pressure stops being a negative and starts being a positive. Your modern engine that only needs ~10° to make MBT doesn't waste the other 10 or so degrees of crank rotation. That's almost all of it. The difference in knock margin might go either way. Remember that modern engines to which you are currently comparing the long tractor engine (the RB) are now running super high compression, direct injection, tricky cam control and maybe even cylinder pressure sensors. You're not comparing apples with other fruit. It's apples and sea weed, or some other evolutionarily primitive vegetation. And remember, squish only really comes into play at the very end of the stroke. It certainly does good things, but it is not the biggest contributor to what's going on. It is quite possibly much less important in 4 valve head than 2 valvers also, because there is so much less squish available to a 4 valve anyway.

      Food for thought, a longer stroke motor would need less ignition timing vs. a shorter stroke motor requiring more ignition timing.

      Thanks Duncan, HART is only 10 mins from me (I did my bike license there), it'd be awesome if it ran these types of things.  Sutton Road does look good and they take fewer cars than SMSP which is good.  Surely you have enough land to lay a few million tonnes of concrete and some sprinklers D?

      I thought an engine that needs more ignition timing to make power is going to result in less power due to reduced knock margin? More time for the combustion to propagate -> more time for it to heat up the rest of the mix to detonation.
