I should clarify, I really believe they need restrictors if standard oil pump but the garrett web site says oil should enter at 40-45 psi into the turbos my engine is nearly 40psi at idle and at 1500 would have been over the recommended limit but I will speak to garrett today about replacement chra.

Ok what a day I've had chasing this, no one in Sydney has cores or turbos for sale but repair if they do is $1150 ea, called crd to see if they had any and or restrictors which I was told is basically info they keep to themselves. Jez gave me rotomaster in Vic contact and they have new -5 for $1060 ea in gst but on the 2nd call to arrange it the guy asked about why etc and he severely doubts water would cause it so will inspect them and repair of my cores if possible with re balance etc around $500 ea or with new cores assembled and posted $760 ea. with restrictor it seems ppl get the upper banjo for stock applications from enzed etc weld them up and drill a .040 hole in it although there is a inbuilt one garrett recommend no more than 65psi max into their cartridges . The guy down there was very very helpful and probably the only person with stock of new turbos and replacement cartridges so a+ for rotomaster . Oh and it can be normal without balance pipe on for bb turbos to push oil oil due to imbalance pushing shaft slightly to one side which moves the circlip and they will leak, also hyper gear can re do them with bush bearings for $700 I hope all

This today will help

Someone in the future feel free to pm anytime for more info.

I know the maximum recommended oil pressure for a Garrett core is 65 psi but my VQ sits on 8-10 bar when cold, without a restrictor, and I have never seen any oil from either end Portaz.

Was it both compressor seals leaking?

Both turbos acted exactly the same some oil in front of compressor and some spitting from the outlet. This restrictor thing is crazy though u got anyone down there Scotty that makes them? Up here this stuff and id2000 injector seals etc is a big hush hush as u know.

Yep, I get them from either Proflow through the local wholesaler, or from Ebay in England if you can wait. (http://stores.ebay.com.au/Torques-U-K/Turbo-Flanges-/_i.html?_fsub=2445530012&_sid=81447352&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322) Both options will force you to run braided oil feed lines.

If you are still running the banjo setup, perhaps welding them and drilling a 1mm hole will do the trick? Or I could turn up a brass reducer for you on the lathe...

Perhaps r34 gtr banjo bolts are restricted? They run BB cores don't they?

Yeh, just express them down and I will stick a restrictor in them somehow. It still won't guarantee a pressure output, but it will lower the pressure. Who would even check the turbo oil feed pressure...

Apparently crd but f..k knows how I'm told enzed have them I will do some checking as I won't get my turbos back till end of week due to transport so I really need to install them this weekend so it's prob better to find a banjo that fits 10mm? Then weld a drill it as u said but I'd prefer to pay you to do that tbh

Ok so they got cleaned rebuilt and balanced etc seems there was some heat involved but mainly some rusty water still inside and the upper housing of turbine bearing was cracked possibly from last owner, seals were not leaking but leakage Due to imbalance by having Tt pipe removed which probably caused a few thou movement one way allowing oil to escape. $650 ea postage inc custom banjo for oil pressure. Interestingly though I considered going back to braided line but there are no restrictors in those fittings either and would be roughly 3mm hole unless there is a different kit to the one I have?

Scott

As reference my standard lines were stuffed by a retarded mechanic doing up the banjo bolts so tight that it crushed the banjos. I run braided lines coolant and oil and have no issue.

I can't really see how u will have excess pressure considering the drain is so large, there is no way pressure would build up in the core of the turbo wit a hole the size of the drain there.

Also you don't need to hook up coolant lines I have left them off before on some set ups.

Cheers

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
