spork Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 Hi, I've got an 83 280zxt with a T3/TO4E hybrid thats been on the car for about 6000 miles. I've got a turboxs RFL blow-off valve, and I noticed oil on the horn of it so I investigated further. I pulled the outlet pipe off the turbo and it's got oil all over on the inside. I pulled the hose between the AFM and the turbo inlet and it's spotless clean and the turbo doesn't have any shaft play. The oil lines are mounted perfectly verticle so there shouldn't be an issue with oil pressure building up and not draining properly. What else could cause this problem, or could it have possibly been a problem with assembly. The car ran great the first time I took it to the track and the next 4 times my MPH has been 4-6 mph slower than it should've been and I've noticed oil on the plugs, but never thought it could've been the turbo because it was new. Please help, I don't want to have the turbo rebuilt and then experience the same problem again. James Roraback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
