Hi There,
i just installed my new Garrett GT3271 on my 87 turbo and the car runs clean and fine. (I will post a detailed description of the whole install and custom fitting work with photos soon)
But there is one problem that is still not fixed. Since the brandnew turbo was istalled my oil consuption is extremely high. About 0,3 gallons of oil for about 140 mls. And i was not pushing the engine hard. I have been driving 250 miles after the turbo-swap and filled up oil two times.
Some side information.
- Oil consuption before with stock turbo was ´normal´ maybe 1000mls with 0,3 gallons or even less.
- I use stock oil feed line with a little smooth custom rebending so that it fits.
- I checked engine-compression, it is fine
- No visible oil-smoke during accelerating (exhaust system goes right through without catalytic converter)
- No oil in the tubes on the way from turbo to the throttle body.
- No oil drops under the car
Do you have any ideas?
