About the turbo smoking. The oil feed is not the problem. It almost never is. It's always the return. You need a bigger diameter drain. I went back and checked your videos of when you made the oil return line and by putting all those fittings together you choked the inner diameter of the line. You should make the return line with the inner diameter as big as the hole of the drain is on the turbo. And the restrictor that comes with the turbo is there for applications with too much oil pressure doubt the little Honda engine has that problem. You should remove the restirctor and open up the feed line more. I have seen expensive turbos fail due to people choking the oil feed cause they had a small return and turbo was smoking don't make the same mistake cause people will assume it was the "cheap" turbo' s fault.
I always appreciate constructive criticism so What fittings you think choked it down? The -10’s? A -10an drain seemed big for such a small setup especially with a restrictor The turbo didn’t come with any hardware for the drain side so I got an adapter that is the size of the opening and tapers to the -10 Issue I would have is the -10 barely fits between the exhaust housing and also the manifold I had to grind it down a lot to fit even that so I don’t think a -12 would be able to fit in there but open to ideas 👍👍👍🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
If it's a ball bearing turbo you 100% need the restrictor, they take a very little amount of oil. Journal bearing you can get away without it. Not sure what buddy up above is talking about because hondas make more oil pressure than a lot of engines. If your oil drain is straight down and at least a foot drop, you should have no drainage issues with -10an. But he is right, ideally you don't want a 45 or 90 degree fitting coming right off the drain. My last setup I had a bottom mount ram horn, turbo sat so low I only had 3 inches of drain line 😂 cxracing gt3076, would push oil out tge inlet side. After switching to a log manifold it solved my drainage issues
@@Kronic420 yeah it is a journal I just didn’t want to take the restrictor out and make it smoke worse but I’ve have ball bearing before and the restrictor that came with this turbo and the second one I added are both literally 4+ times bigger of an opening than the ball bearing was if that makes sense And yeah that is my main issue the space where the drain needs to be is so tight because it is such a small turbo a straight fitting won’t even fit it hits the manifold so it’s kind of a tight situation lol I don’t have many options to change Thanks for the reply and checking out the channel 🤟🤟🤟🤟👍👍👍👍👍👍
@@bought2build You may have to make a custom drain yourself and when I say custom I mean from scratch no off the self parts. Trace the return port on a paper, cut a plate weld the biggest tube that will fit, massage it to fit. As for the feed, pressure and volume are too different things you are starving the turbo of volume of oil with the restrictor. Journal bearings usually don't require any restrictors the internals of the cartridge are all the restriction they need.
@@orionmontgomery238 totally possible I just have a hard time believing that a -10 line that is almost perfectly Straight down into the pan is too small for a -4 feed that has a restrictor and the the pcv it has -10 fittings and line at the back of the block going to catch can but possible I guess thanks for checking out the channel 🤟🤟🤟🤟👍👍👍
@@brandonadkins5223 how long did you get out of each one? And do you know how much power or boost you were making? Just curious thank you for the information and checking out the channel! 🤟🤟🤟👍👍👍👍👍👍
@@bought2build got 2 bad out of the box one had oil problems seal was bad or something and then one the bearing failed put two more on and one was good and one started with the oil issues again so I ended up with one good turbo out of 4 I checked made sure I had no blockage on the return line this is on a twin turbo set up i have a good friend that also use this brand of turbo he said its hit or miss on getting a good one but he says they make good power when they're working right
@@brandonadkins5223 damn that’s annoying I must have got lucky this was the first one I ordered and it’s been fine it has been a few thousand miles and some dyno sessions and so far it’s still good “knock on wood” idk how hard you were pushing yours mines only on 13lbs right now until I get the built motor in I also spray meth directly into it lol but so far it’s been ok Just curious was yours the base one or the “billet” wheel version

And not sure what you would think about it as far as the restrictor but it makes about 80psi oil pressure during a pull

Keep making videos bro you'll make it big

Yeah the oil burn is the return and the pcv

should i turbo my 2010 yaris or those stupid AMR300/500 super chargers
Personally I’d go turbo over one of those 👍👍🤟🤟🤟
No. If you want a charger pick an Eaton m45 out of a mini cooper S r53. But a turbo is a better solution.
I have use the same turbo on the 4th one now they don't last
