Ive got a turbosmart dualport and its starting to not open all the way so it obviously needs to be oiled. i know turbosmart sells a specific oil but i was wondering if there was any alternative besides that oil. Ive heard of motor oil but it doesnt seem like it would last very long. i was thinkin about maybe graphite powder but ive never heard of anyone doing that so i didnt want to try it. anyone out there have any solutions? thanks

 

i use mobile 1 syn bearing grease for my forge mbc and bov

 

red wheel bearing grease.

 

semi off topic....what parts do you lube, say on a forge MBC?

 

the Forge RS has a piston and spring, i unscrew the large end, wipe the chamber clean with a rag, wipe the piston clean, be careful of the rubber o ring inside the cylinder. I lube the o ring, cylinder and pistion with a thin layer then re assemble.

 

syn lube. lithium grease. man splooge. whatever you want man.

 

i wouldnt use a petrolium based lube because it will cause rubber to swell if it has any, try paintball gun oil, they act the same as a bov and will not harm it in anyway.

 

i used the bearing grease and it worked like a charm. thanks alot guys
