69chris Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 both me and the turbo !!!! suspect its shafted but thought id see what the opinion on here is.. 1100 slingy chinky td04 13t, 1mm jet in feed line scavenge pump fitted same as everyone else seems to do, working and returning oil to top of motor near alternator, but iv nothing to compare it to so dunno if its weak or strong ok at idle and low revs, had a little blast up the lane today and left a smokescreen behind, returned to base and r/h/s of bike and my self speckled in oil it boosts fine, theres no horrid noises, it just cant hold its oil ? oh, and its now got a slightly warped disc......overnight that happens apparently as it was ok yesterday Quote
MeanBean49 Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 That much oil coming out suggests a goosed turbo imo. Quote

69chris Posted March 19, 2019 Author Posted March 19, 2019 iv ordered a smaller jet to try but i'm not hopeful it'l be the cure, also looked at the banjo bolt at the scavenge line/alternator end and drilled out the 4 little holes in that incase that was maybe a tad restrictive have spoken to the guy who made kit and he thinks it could be a scavenge issue so i need to look more in that area, although as said as its ok at idle/low revs its hard to check too much, have pulled the drain at turbo and run motor for 30 seconds into a jar, then done same with the scavenge line and looks to be the same amount but cant repeat the test zipping up and down the lane lol !! never had this problem when i turbo'd my blade and on that i didnt even use a restrictor jet in the feed or a scavenge pump (although the turbo was rather low) but did use a genuine turbo off a volvo (iirc) so maybe thats all it really can be iv been looking at new cores on Eblag but cant even be sure they will fit a knock off Chinese turbo so reluctant to waste even more cash on it.............

69chris Posted March 19, 2019 Author Posted March 19, 2019 (edited) in the remote chance it is just a weak scavenge pump issue has anyone tried one of these instead of the Facet type ?? Edited March 21, 2019 by 69chris Quote
B12Mick Posted April 13, 2019 Posted April 13, 2019 Any closer to sorting the problem out bud ? Quote

Wouldn't use one of them for that purpose - Intermediate duty cycle means it would likely overheat or seize if used continuously! Quote
