I just finished installing an ATP gt3071r turbo kit for my friend's evox gsr! it was easy install and no issues ,started the car and drove it for 15 min and all was good till i let the car idling for more than 3 min the car start smoking white /blue heavily with burned oil smell inspected everything ! when i drive the car the smoke goes away right away even flooring it NO SMOKE @ all !!!!! it smokes @ idle only !

after taking off the turbo i noticed oil all around the turbine blades !! it seems seal is leaking !!! how come new turbo start leaking first day!!!


hope to hear from ATP guys !!!


thanks

 

Did you pre oil the turbo bearings before starting the car and going for a drive? Ive always been told to do so, but I don't know if it really makes a difference.

 

yes mate i did! that really sucks to have leaking 2000$ turbo !!

 

This thread will probably get closed...you need to contact ATP directly about this...

 

I did emailed atp and still waiting their feed back!

 

Call them too...

 

U have the right restrictor on it?

 

If it's the Garrett bolt-on, then it comes with a restrictor. Is there any shaft play or anything? I would lean towards it being an oil drain line problem. That line can be a royal pain to line up correctly.

 

I have used the retrictor that came with the kit ,and for the drain line it fits only the right way ! as shaft play it has normal shaft play ,nothing touching the housing ! the strange thing is it does leak/smoke only if i leave the car idling for few mins!!!!

 

That is weird..... A couple other things to check: PCV valve, compression and leakdown test. Excessive blowby can cause high crank case pressure and cause oil to leak out the turbo. A leakdown test should find this.

 

Thanks buddy! i did that too ! the only thing i noticed is this car has very low vacum
@ idle!! i know its coz of the cams but this is very low vac for cossi's cams!

 

With the vacuum so low at idle, it might be building up excessive crank case pressure at idle, and that would cause smoking.

How does the car run? I'm wondering if the cam timing is off by a gear tooth or two which is causing the low vacuum. Or maybe just bad piston rings? I don't know if bad rings would cause low vacuum though, but just blowby.

 

thanks i'll check the timing marks and see!

Today i was checking the turbo it self i tried to blow some air through the oil line and noticed the ait moves heavy inside the turbo it self !!! like the catrige blocked or somthing !? i'm lost here
