Alright lads It's almost the last straw I Have finally got my GTR running after a long rebuild and have it booked in to get a run in tune on friday. It's a forged engine with everything new and new Garrett -5 turbo's. I got it warmed up and the cooling system bled today but there was alot of oil smoke coming out of the exhaust. Before I pulled the engine out there was a shitload of oil going through the motor so the exhaust was full of oil and I didn't clean it out so I decided to pull it off tonight and do just that. When I pulled the Y-pipe off I noticed that the inside of the front dump pipe was coated witrh fresh gold oil but the rear one was as dry as burnt toast. What have I missed or could there be something wrong with the seals in the front turbo. The engine has run for 10 minutes in total absolutely tops and the rev's havent been past 2000rpm. I have a trust oil pump so could it be that there is excessive oil pressure to the turbo's? I didn't put any restrictors in the feed lines as I was assured that the turbo's had them already fitted and my Oil pressure gauge has died so I can't tell anyone what the oil pressure is reading but there's definately oil pressure as all the oil feed's and drains and my oil cooler were warm after running it so it is circulating. Any idea's would be a great help I have contacted the guy I bought them off but I'm waiting for a reply to let him know just incase there is something wrong with the turbo but it's looking like I'm gonna have to cancel the tuning now which has really pissed me off. Anyway any help appreciated.

Engine was tired breathing really heavy and dumping alot of oil into the intakes. Before I pulled the engine out I pulled the intake pipes off and the turbo's were both about half full of oil. Yeah I cleaned the cooler out completely all new custom cooler piping and intakes. I bought an aftermarket gauge the other day but it doesn't have a sensor with it so I'm still trying to sort that out at the moment. I've been searching on here for the last hour and everyone says that the 2860 range from garret have restrictors from factory but a few guys have said they ran a 0.8mm banjo bolt on theirs just wondering if this could be the problem? I would of thought that it mouldn't have become apparent this early though as I havent even had the revs past 2k. The trust pump has it's operating pressure stated as

800rpm=100kpa

2000rpm=300kpa

6000rpm=400kpa

That means it's not even seen more that 45psi oil pressure. It looks as though it had only just started to leak too as it had only dribbled about 3inches into the y-pipe.

did you put in a restrictor in the block ?

Which restrictor is that? Not the one's in the head? I haven't put any restrictors anywhere the shop that did the build did all the usual oil mod's larger galleries, head restrictors, external drain etc. Is there supposed to be one where the feeds come out of the block for the turbo's?

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
