Turbo ecu

[SilvrEclipse]

Dave Im confused with you post but that piece the dude gave you with the turbo IS THE DRAIN LINE!! You are feeding the turbo threw the oil DRAIN! This is why your turbo is blowing oil past the seals. We have been over this before, clock your turbo so the oil drain is facing straight down. Cut the pipe off like the oil I have in that pic so you can slip a hose over it and run that to the pan. The fitting directly accross from the drain is the feed. If your oil line kit didn't come with the right fitting to connect the line up here you will need to buy one.

You probably should also run a restrictor like dave said.

Well, I clocked the turbo. Hooked the drain line up he gave me and seems to be no leaks so far and no smoke, just alittle from running rich. Now I just need an adaptor for the feed line. I bought a 1/4 in compession fitting and it hooked up fine, just some leakage. I teflone taped the hell out of it and it still leaks, plus it's pretty short. And ideas what is a good fitting to use? Still thanx for all this help guys. If I was rich I would pay you all..lol

Please quit running the car without oil being fed to the turbo.

I swear there's a restrictor and adapter in that kit you snapped pics of...

Also, the suggestion about cutting the accordion out of the drain is a good one. I've had too many of those break to use them anymore.

Trust me I don't run the car without the feed line hooked up. Thats how I know it's leaking. I have no idea what piece is the adaptor in that pic. If it's the one I circled up in that pic. We used that on the 3way adaptor on the back of the block. What is the restrictor and how do you use it? This is what I been the adaptor for.

K I found this one http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33742. Thread spec is 4AN and 1/8 NPT. Will that fit on mine?

[SilvrEclipse]

You need to find the thread size for the t25 then buy an adapter. Im not sure of the threads on it since I have never ran one of those turbos.

[Cavalier9696]

The lines will get hot just from the heat from the motor/turbo. Just make sure it doesn't end up cracking. I used fuel line once and it cracked and leaked badly.

Glad it's working good now. Looked good driving. Must have the 7lb spring in there. You can keep that no prob. Ran mine like that til it blew. But if you want less try the other ones. Just make sure you don't go over 8 (just to play it safe).

Congrats tho!

Thanx. lol ya I took the front bumper off to show off the cooler. Theres guy in a yellow golf turboed with his off, so I would show him out...lol

It wouldn't hurt to invest in a wideband o2. Just so you know your getting the fuel you need.

Ya some1 told about that. Going to look at getting one tomm. I started hearing some clicking sound yesterday when driving it, got worried and it turned out being my dump tube from my WG. Haven't got it welding to downpipe yet.

But something I have been meaning to ask. Will my tranny keep up with the turbo? Cause when I get on it, it feels like the trans is over reving or something. It sounds and feels just like an auto when it's slipping. Tranny should be in good shape cause I had it rebuilt. LOL and I still can't seem to get the BOV right. It's starts blowing at about 5 grand, way before I even shift. So I should harden it more?

[david-b]

Ya 'harden' the BOV just a little. Only turn it a 1/4 each time. Test, try again.

Not understanding the 'trans over revving.' The trans are good for a decent amount of power amazingly. It's the clutch that will die long before the trans itself. It's it's slipping than the rpms will go up without the car moving. If that's the case, it may be why the BOV is letting go so early too as there's no longer a load on the motor when the clutch slips, causing the motor to go to vacuum and lose all charged air.

[Cavalier9696]

I just changed that clutch to. Hope it wasn't a bad one. Oh off topic, but today when I was driving and the speedometer stoped working, but the stock tack still works. Do they run off a different fuse and not together?

[david-b]

Speedo is a seperate sensor on the top of the trans below the batter tray. They're known for the little gear to break off. That may have happened. But check the connector to it first make sure it didnt pop out or anything
