Speak of the devil, my Daily turbo started spewing oil into the turbine. I had thought my return line was leaking from a bad USED gasket on the return flange but I guess that was just oil from the housing that kept getting worse until it started smoking.
The nice thing about excessive backpressure causing oil burning in your turbo is that fixing the crankcase problem will fix your leak.

Well it seems I have an electrical gremlin to deal with.
After changing the regulator I thought it fixed the high voltage problem but it came back quick. I swapped in a different regulator and same thing. I went for a little cruise today and when i made a left turn the car lost all power(electrical)and then it came back when i straightened out. Guess i got a bad wire/connection somewhere, Im gonna try to locate the problem manana. Hopefully I dont have to pull to much apart to locate it.

LMAO,
To quote someone earlier in my thread, "you don't have any luck do you?"Well it seems I have an electrical gremlin to deal with.

Same thing with my stock t3 turbo, which is why i went holset faster than planned lol.
The big deal is, The voltage problem causes the timing problem which in turn blows up my engine! Plus, I turn left to get the return road.Whats the big deal, you're not going Nascar and turning left on the track are you
Thanks Cordes
Thanks!

FIXED!
Here is the culprit....
Starter heat shield broke and was flopping around, it would short out on the solenoid when I turned left sometimes. This is what was taking out the VR. Removed the shield, put a new VR on and everything is golden. Looks like I won't be able to race until Cecil. Looking forward to it!

Wow. This car is full of fun problems and neat solutions all of which I don't have to worry about. I can't wait to vicariously live through it when the car actually makes it to the track. My hard work will finally pay off. Thanks for doing the heavy lifting Carroll.
those stupid stamped steel starter heat sheilds always break off and short stuff out.

Bet that was fun to find...but glad you found it.
Funny! I just found out mine was broke a few weeks ago and just took it off.

Nice find Carroll.
Yeah, I thinks it all good now! I will.
Not sure I fully understand this entire post but thanks.
Damn, seems like a common problem huh? If I would have known that before I put the motor in I would have left it off!Nice find Carroll.
Yeah, it was a blast.
P.S. See you at Cecil.

Run the Nippo starter, never worry about overheating starters and heat shields breaking off,

My started heat shield broke off last year and fried some wires under the hood! Good thing I had the hood open when it happened so I could yank connectors to prevent too much damage!
Just a tad lol. While i would love to challenge you on the track - my car just isnt ready for the ScAries. I have zero passes and tuning with this set-up. I'm just looking forward to getting some passes/data so i can build from there and get better. I do have an optimistic goal of 11seconds for my first outing if nothing breaks and stops me from turning the boost up.Do I detect a bit of trash talking here?
