hello all, i have a quick question...

just put my car all together with a gotham racing gr63 kit... after running it for a couple of runs over a few days i inspected everything...is it normal to have a little oil around the opening to the turbo fins? it's not dripping or anything , its like it get a little mist almost where the fins spray it around .... it's visable but not a lot.... but it wasn't there before i put it on... i have pics i can put up if needed....

thanks!

 

I've got their Gr67 kit, and havent experienced anything like that. I would call up tomorrow and talk to Steve, or maybe Brock. Good luck.

 

What weight oil are you using? What is your oil pressure at WOT? I gather the turbo is new, I think(this is just my opinion) it takes a couple of use cycles to properly coke the carbon seals so they do not allow any oil to pass. If you have ~80+psi oil pressure, and are using say 20w50, thatis really the upper limit according to Garrett of the seals. Ask Gotham for a solution, so you do not compromise your warranty. Carl

 

well i think i figured it out.... wrong oil weight... i had 10-30 in there.... too thin. i now have 20-50.... i will take it out for a few runs when its back together again... i'm doing new intercooler piping now so it's gonna have to wait... the turbo isn't new.... it's kryo-2's old kit...

 

ha, joe's kit is curse!!
jk, i thought about picking it up actually. how do you like it?

 

Actually, nothing wrong with 10w30. I run 5w30 Mobile 1, helps find leaks fast

 

well gotham told me that it was to thin of oil.. plus the oil was also old.....very very old.

i'll let you know how the kit is when i get the car is all tuned and safe to drive
