Excessive Exhaust Smoke? This Might FIX Your Problem | Turbosmart [TECH NUGGET]

- Does your turbocharged high-performance engine pump out a lot of blue or white smoke?
A potential cause of this issue, particularly with ball bearing turbos, is an oversupply of oil to the turbo which can force its way past the turbine seals and into the exhaust housing where it then burns off. Turbosmart have a simple solution in the form of their OPR T40 oil pressure regulator that is easy to install and maintains a steady 40 PSI of oil pressure to the turbo which is in line with the manufacturer's recommended amount for many turbo setups.
If your ball bearing turbocharged performance vehicle is smoking at idle or at the end of a run on the drag strip then checking your turbos oil pressure supply to see if this could be your simple fix.

Turbosmart have been making some killer products lately. If Andre recommends these surely they'll be walking off the shelf. Love your channel and content guys 👌
If you have upgraded your rb25det with a nitto oil pump this will cause excessive oil pressure to your ball bearing turbo as nick stated oil will get past your turbo seals. This is a must for those folks.
Recently installed one of the new models in my sr20 and works a treat.
+1 I run one of these on my 430hp Miata now which was oversupplying the EFR6758 with oil and causing huge white smoke clouds. Issue completely resolved now, only caveat was I had to drill yet another hole in the oil pan for a return - Do not mix with the turbo oil return.
Just thinking now, I am going to look into putting an in-line oil screen to make sure to catch any metallic flakes from bearings etc. before they get to the turbo.
430hp Miata! Awesome! There was another comment on here about adding an extra filter to the line.
Thanks for sharing the tip on the oil return for others and I hope your turbo enjoys a long life =D - Taz.
You say "do not mix with the oil return but it's the same oil and it would have been easier to tap in the large oil return line or a T or V piece for both into the existing hole. Pretty sure that is in there instructions even....
@@brettus9115 Oil coming out of the turbine is frothy oil, the return from the regulator could in combination with the turbine return overwhelm the single return line around the union bubbling up oil into one or both return lines. I'd rather not pull the engine twice if this was the case and would rather just tap a dedicated return.
got one of these, awesome little thing! I also put a filter on the line too!
My fist mod was a Mamba feed line then almost straight away I upgraded to an Earls oil feed line for my garret 3540.
The little things that matter.
Thank you !
Very good device specially for factory restrictor thing.
I love how youtube threw "Diesel | How it works" as recommended video after this.
Good info, thank you so much!
I want my turbo to live a long and healthy life.
Does this regulator go in lieu of the oil inlet restrictor or is this regulator used with the standard turbo's provided restrictor?
"There goes High Performance Academy giving us great videos again" 🚨
Man I'm so selfish, I know you guys are busy and we are all privileged to have these videos but pump out some more please faster :)
I think we can all be permitted to be somewhat self-centred at times. I'm with you mate - step it up you lazy NZ fucks!
Alright, we'll turn the BBQ off, put our safety jandals on for work and hit you with 4 a week in the new year instead of the current 3 ;) - Taz
Niiice. You still up mate?
@@phoenixrising7047 Just up, almost 8am here. Ben's a real slave driver =P - Taz
@@hpa101 Oh! You Legends :)
Question..so this is a pressure reducer to stop us putting to much oil under load especially byt what does it do say at lights when engine is hot oil is thin and idle oil pressure is below 40psi does it starve the turbo or let through a base amount to keep it going?
My personal thought is the following: if the reg is set on a pressure of 40 psi, if the supplied oil pressure is below that value (ex. 38 psi) this same value will be delivered to the turbo core... Nothing different from a FPR 😉😉
It only limits excessive oil flow to the turbo. It doesn't maintain a static oil pressure at all times, it just prevents over oiling. A ported and or larger turbo oil drain line should be priority if the option exists for you.
Is it worthwhile or necessary to put on a journal bearing turbo?
Keep learning new things here
That's what we love to hear mate! Enjoy =) - Taz
Great idea how much is it
1:12 hit or miss, i guess they never miss huh?!
What is a "turbine piston ring seal"?
the seal that separates the shaft area (oiled) from the exhaust turbine propeller
@@seandavey7085 Where is this piston??
Amazing video as usual. Please explain the new anti lag devise (: Please.
what new anti lag are you talking about?
www.turbosmart.com/news/turbosmart-introduces-new-award-winning-anti-lag-valve/
that's an Umluft and it's not new ..

will i have to remove the restrictor that came with my turbocharger from factory?
It would be a good idea to remove it considering that this turbosmart product adjusts pressure to what you have stock
Hi I have new pte 6466 on my have busted 2 turbo seals will this help I have a nitto pump and car is an r32 gtr have been told to try this
My drain and turbo position is set up correctly
Thanks
....
@@gtrlife2941 Restrictors in?
It should since it's made to keep your oil pressure to the turbo at a certain measurement
Wont this lower the overall pressure in the rest of the motor ?
Mohamad Itani no. It will only be a part of the oil feed line system to the turbo. Regulates just the feed and the excess would be directed back to the supply.
@@2jimmycrackcorn yes but if u are bleeding everything after 40 psi this means the rod bearings will get less pressure
Mohamad Itani that’s the thing. ONLY the oil feed line will get regulated, the rest of the engine would get the normal pressure the pump supplies. It would be implemented in the oil feed to the turbo and that is all, nothing else.
kinda stupid to put a filter in there? The main filter will sort debris out. The little filter in his unit will only risk to clogg which will end up with a turbo with no oil
This isn't a filter, it's a regulator - Taz.
