How much oil are we talking here? Couple of teaspoons or a couple of quarts? A little bit is more-or-less normal for our turbo's, but when it gets bad you've got problems there. Check your shaft play (both radial and axial), and if there's a lot of play along with a lot of oil start saving up for either a rebuild, upgrade rebuild, or replacement.

Any bluish smoke out the back when under boost? If your rotating assembly is tight, the seals and journal bearing all good it could just be accumulation I guess. Maybe someone with more long-term experience with the CT26 will chime in, as I'm relatively new to the Supra and still learning as I go.

I had a small build-up when i cheanged out my upper IC piping. But mine wasn't flowing out or anything, just enough that i could run my finger around the inside of the pipe and get my finger wet. Checking shaft play next week when i pick up another turbo.

does the accordian hose have oil in it. i need to see pictures of your crankcase vent system

Bad seals in the turbo? makes a big mess in ic pipes, and you will blow smoke. it happen to me before.

a couple of quarts?!?!:aigo:

lol ^^^ i was thinking the same thing...more like a thin film of residue of oil.

getting new turbo plus ic kit thanks for the help

 

[grimreaper]

how did you come to that conclusion?

 

[Clip]

quarts...? still boggled by that one. one of those new oil to oil intercoolers

 

[917mgte]

at least one quart of oil in the intercooler not to mention the piping....

 

[paradox616]

could be blowby, i had this and the crank case pressure was forcing all my oil into the breather and into the intake... i thought my turbo was screwed till i checked it all out, i have 0 shaftplay, btw a little radial shaft play is normal as when it spools up it stays centralised (because its balanced)

 

[suprafanatic]

WOW a quart of oil in the intercooler....... the answer is pretty obvious i think..lol get that turbo off

 

[grimreaper]

^ not true, years of buld up or shot rings or pcv...

before i enlarged my pcv ports i had issues with large amounts of oil getting sucked through the intake an building up in the lower ic pipes

was the turbo even removed and inspected?? all im hearing is "i saw oil in there and im replacing things"

:word8kn:

I know that it's blowby on my engine because of where the oil is coming through the accordian pipe...

2 quarts are a lot of oil. Even 2 oz is enough to hydrolock the engine.
