Wierd Problem

[Chi100188]

Hey guys just wondering when cranking the car with the cas plugg off is oil sposed to coming out of the turbo oil feed? is there any pressure to the turbo oil feed?

Cheers

Well the oil pump is spinning at a few hundred rpm so the oil has to go somewhere

[Chi100188]

right cause im not getting oil out of the turbo oil feed? like literally non? i cranked for about a min and a half?

[Chi100188]

how long do i have to crank it before i see oil coming out of the turbo feed line?

[Don Dada]

The way you put it i thought there was oil coming out...... I've never done it so not sure, but i dont see any pressure register on my mech oil pressure gauge when cranking for a while, but i do see the oil light come off on the dash and those two are side by side

sometimes it can take a few minutes of cranking with no spark plugs in before oil will come out.

We used to prime new engines like this before I built the super dooper prime canister thingamy

[Chi100188]

right so I cranked it for a min and nothing came out so you suggest cranking a few more times? if still there is no oil what could be the problem? i mean if the oil pumps shat itself my engine would be dead right? e.g bearings gone etc

[JonnoHR31]

start it up and see if anything comes out. cranking usually isnt enough

[Chi100188]

well can't really start it up cause i have no turbo connected on there

[lachlanw]

yeah you can start it up . even with no water its goin to be fine for 30 seconds

what are you actually trying to achieve ? did you blow a turbo ?

with a name like that is has to be good, and leading edge tech

[Chi100188]

I blew a turbo so I have a new one sitting here I wanna make sure I have oil going through the feed before I put it on.... So I guess I'll keep trying to crank it ey but normally does it take more then 1 min of cranking to get oil Cming out? I have a greddy oil filter relo kit

exactly - no turbo on there, no diff.

hook the CAS up and see the oil flow

[Don Dada]

Put the feed in a bottle or something tho and be ready to swicth off fast

[JonnoHR31]

yer get a friend to tell you when oil comes out and turn it off straight away. aslong as you do that its fine to start it with no turbo, dont even need any coolant in there.

[Chi100188]

how about the intercooler piping? wouldn't it just not start and keep stalling?

[hypergear]

should have oil shooting out of oil feeding line with just a crank. I had this issue with my rebuilt engine, and that was with a faulty oil pump.

[Chi100188]

oh right...but if the oil pump is faulty wouldn't the whole engine just go bang? because when the car was still driving the idiot light never turned on? even till the day where i ripped off the blown turbo...

[Don Dada]

It might start and run like shit but it would be enough to see oil come up

ooorr....put the afm on the turbo outlet / tb pipe
