There's a good chance that that turbo is blowing oil because of how low it is in comparison to the oil sump. If you take the level of the oil in the sump into consideration the turbo is almost at the same level. Usually an application with a turbo that low you need a scavenge pump in order to prevent oil blowing past the seals in the turbo.
The turbo is at the same level as before. BUT! I figured out the problem. The oil feed line didn't have a restrictor so over time the seals just couldn't hold up... I really appreciate your input though 🙏🏿
@@MIGHTYDQ The restrictor is likely needed to compensate for how low the turbo is and it's reduced ability to drain. I'm glad you were able to get it working though. Fixed is fixed :-)
@@DoRC the restrictor is only need for ball bearing turbos. They don't require as much oil as a journal bearing turbo. So it had way to much oil pressure on the seals. I fixed it by buying another turbo. 🤣 I was going to swap it anyway. This just sped up the process
You're a cool, laid back dude. Keep those turbo videos coming. Get some review videos of the turbo builds from your turbo builder guy as well. Get some funny content in there, I know you're funny. Seen your cousins video with you in it. Got a 600hp turbo busa just got upgraded myself.
I really appreciate it 🙏🏿. Thanks for the advice. Will do!!! 600hp busa huh😳 that's some serious ponies! When I change my turbo I'll be happy with 450ish. I say that now. Lol
@@MIGHTYDQ I'm subscribed brother, can't wait for more turbo busa content. Lookup Hayabusa.org www.hayabusa.org/forum/ You'll get all the info on turbo you need there.
I have a turbo busa and can say the reason the oil is in your charge pipe is because you don't have a scavenge pump running off your turbo to pump the oil back into the engine; you just rely on a gravity feed which is not good enough to clear all the oil out of the compressor. Without a scavenge pump you cant prevent the incoming oil from accumulating and blowing past the compressor's seals inside the turbo; therefore making its way into the compressor housing and charge pipe.
Thank you for the info and advice. We figured out why it was blowing oil. The oil feed didn't the restrictor that's needed for a ball bearing turbo. I have a new turbo now and I do plan to do the scavenge pump. Thanks for the comment bro🙏🏿 What turbo are you running?
It works fine without scavenge pump if you have the turbo above your oil level, like I have. Small Mitsubishi Bigger turbo ends up below oil level because of the size
It's because of where u have it tapped for oil return. U never tape the return at the very bottom of the oil pan. It causes turbo to fill up with oil. Because it can't get rid of oil . Retap the return line higher up the pan
Might wanna change your turbo packing . I love the setup. Busy buying my first busa. And its a great machine. I want to turbocharge it just for the respect. I wanna enjoy it as an icon of succes and status. Buildyear 2007
You'll definitely get the respect. Enjoy it in its stock form though. I ran into a bunch of issues when I went turbo. But if you do it right the first time it'll last you
@@H-M-78 engine oil level is not to high. Well according to the site glass. I have to lean if over a little to see it. BUT when I take the oil line off from the turbo oil comes out like it can be to high. It's strange. You don't think the turbo seals could be bad?
@@dynagrego found the problem. The turbo didn't have an oil Restrictor. Ball bearing turbos require them. So over time the seals couldn't hold the oil in
Restrict the oil pressure going to the turbo more it doesn’t need that much oil running through it at all I know that sounds crazy but you running a high oil pressure at the turbo will definitely cause the oil to go through the chargepipe like that I learned that the hard way
Yup! It's 40th anniversary fairing but the bike is a 9. That's why the frame is this color. It was the first and only year copper color but I crashed it awhile back and switched it up
@@fukcg00gle95 everything works without modification except the gas tank because they went from external fuel pump to internal. So I had to buy a fuel pump block off plate
SOOO I HAVE A 08 BKING I WANNA ADD 2 OF THE SMALLEST TURBOS I CAN FIND KEEP IN MIND THIS IS A BUILD FOR LOOKS OVER POWER BUT IM WANTING TO RUN MAYBE 2 TO 3 PSI PER TURBO AND IF U SEEN THE BKING I WANT 2 SO THEY FIT AGAINST THE GASTANK WHERE THE TURNSIGNALS GO WOULD THE STOCK MOTOR BE FINE ON 5TO 6 PSI WITH A FULL ECU MAPPING
Thanks. And you're right. But the turbo I had at that time was to big. And with the spacer plate lowering the compression, it only made 235 at 10lbs. It was close to 300 around 14lbs. With the Garrett T3 t04e i have now it should be around 270ish hp at 8lbs🤞🏿
I would put a oil scavenger pump on the bike. It will keep you from worrying about the turbo drain. That drain dose no look well set up. It may have worked for a bit but I would not trust it long term. I have had turbos leak oil on be because bad drainage.
Turned out being to much oil pressure because of the oil feed line not having a restrictor. My new turbo is a journal bearing turbo so it should be fine. But most definitely going to run a scavenge pump. Thank you for your input 🙏🏿
What year is this bike? im looking to upgrade to a busa and interested in slapping a turbo on it later. I see they did upgrades onthe 08 and up, but i was looking at an 06, Seems like all they did was a piston upgrade from what i can see from the spec difference, but i havnt done enough research to know. Pros and cons of a turbo 06 busa? open ears to any input if you have experience if not i dont need your opinion on somthing you dont know anything about.
This is a 99. The bore is bigger on the gen 2. Didn't make a huge amount of hp more. An 06 would be great to do so and cheaper than a gen 2. Pros are it's fast of course but the cons are you'll most likely go through a set of pistons of you don't do it right. Spacer plate is a must if you're running more than 4psi of boost. And Better rich than lean. Remember that. Trust me I know.
You don't even need secondary injectors on a Gen 1 for a "stage 2". A reputable tuner can tune the ECU to run 850, 1000, 1200cc primary injectors (just replace the factory ones).
Thanks for the response. Was that just in parts? Looks like a fair amount of work. My concern is finding someone that knows what the hell they're doing.
@@johnmcgrath3907 yes. All used parts. Probably can find a lot of used parts on the "hayabusa buy/sell/trade" page on Facebook. And yes. Gotta find someone that knows the formula. Do it right the first time you won't spend money to replace parts
