i got a used gt 40 and now i see oil start to blow out the front
do you guys think i can get just a center section for this turbo

 

Be more specific of your oil leaking situation. What is "front"

 

Do you have a catch can installed? Does the turbo have a restrictor fitting on the oil feed? Is it just a GT40 or is it a GT40R Dual BB? Mine was blowing oil when it was brand new and I installed a catch can and restrictor fitting and the oil blowby went away.

 

i just started the a fresh motor with the turbo for the first time and used gt40 not the R or BB version and i have the restrictor fitting for the oil feed when i rev the motor with the I C piping out there is oil comeing out of the front it seen it because the engine bay was has some oil

 

Put on a catch can. It should clear up.

 

how would a catch can help

 

it probably wouldnt, but a restrictor on the oil feed may help.


also, make sure your oil DRAIN is functioning. they are gravity-drain only, so it must be downhill from the center section to the end of the drain.

 

A catch can allows proper venting of the motor. Believe me, I have a GT40(R though) and as soon as I had Ray Wilson at PFSupercars put on a catch can, the blowby went away. fc3sturboTT already said that he had a restrictor fitting on the turbo. But it's fine, what do I know. I only told you that I had the exact same problem. I've told him what to try. It might not fix the problem, but I'm 99% sure that it will.
