I just finished a non-sequential conversion and put it all back together. I started it up and it jumped right up, but o boy is it smoking oil! the smoke is coming out from under the hood from the turbos as well as a **** load from the muffler. it was all fine before i did the conversion so i dont see what could have happened. im thinking an oil seal in the turbos is gone but that wouldnt explain the smoke from up front. also everytime i run it its like an explosion of oil the intake pipes and everything above the turbos gets splashed and covered in oil for a reason i cant even think of. its scary i think im going to take it all off and just rerout the pvc and oil injector vac hoses to the uim and run it non turbo to see if it runs normal then go to the turbos.

it's still gettin 15-16 InHg of vaccum like it did before. it wont boost either. and then suddenly i punched the gas and it wouldnt even rev it just stumbled like 200rpm's up then stopped i dont know what's up with it. maybe an injector connector came loose or i mixed 2 of em up but **** you'd think it wouldnt run at all if that was the case..damn..

 

I was burning oil and bad and so i took off the intake and ic pipe so the turbos were just bolted up to the manifold but not spooling. after running it for about a minute the little primary inlet thing was filled with oil, as was the compressor outlet. but only on the primary turbo not on the secondary. but also somethign happened to where the oil return for the primary got blocked off (long story dont ask) so if the oil seal in the first turbo got blown would it cause this to happen? im just trying to determine if i should just get a set of used turbos that work for like 300 bucks. since all that oil was filling it up i can guess that when the ipes are connected that oil is forced into the intake into the engine and burned out..hence all the ****** smoke. the IC pipes were pretty coated with oil too

 

my first thought as oil was getting sucked into the intact via the vacuum line for the oil injectors/PCV. i did a non-seq conversion and have the oil injectors and pvc runing straight to the primary intake elbow thing. i wil reroute these to th intake manifold and see if the problem persists. doesnt make o me though since there i no vacuum in the primary intace elbow since nothing is connecting the UIM to the turbos

 

You do the full non seq conversion??? or the poor mans way?

 

was full non-seq.
everythign else turned out fine.

I just fucked up on a gasket on the return pipe for the primary turbo. i um..well..i made a gasket..but..didnt put a hole in it..thus blocking it off and probably blowing the oil eal in the turbo to all hell...god how embarrassing.

 

Doh!! I feel your pain dude. I hate when I do stupid **** like that.

 

lol yea.. a ******* hole in a gasket..how much worse does it get.

 

..leavin a rag on one of the piping

 

ouch...good to know im not the only one
