ls1rx7 Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 After a very eventful day of driving 5+hrs we get to the quest that has been sitting for a few months. Look the car over check fluids drop new batt in and she fired right up. Load her on the trailer and drive 5+hrs back home threw Texas big cities and horrible traffic. Well now gotta get the girlfriend to join the forum and start posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ls1rx7 Posted March 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 So far i have pulled the intercooler to drain the oil out it, not sure if its from blow by or seal in turbo. The turbo has very little shaft play. So once i get all the oil outta the piping and intercooler going to unhook the blow by lines and run it a bit to see where the oil is coming from.

ls1rx7 Posted March 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 Got it all oil cleaned out swapped to 1g mas was going to leave oil separator unhooked to make sure the oil wasn't blow by but it wouldn't stay running. Hooked it back up and fired right up. Let it warm up then drove it a few mins got in boost and the 14b pulls good, good bit of oil smoke on decel. I pulled compressor outlet pipe and it was a little smokey. Starting to think its not the turbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
