Recently I had an issue with over oiling my turbo due to no restrictor, causing the oil to burn off on the compressor side of the CHRA . This was solved about a 3 weeks ago, and gave very good results as far as solving the smoking turbo CHRA/compressor.... UNTIL recently.

After a few canyon runs and a couple dozen of hairpin turns (maybe an occasional parking lot donut) I realized that it seems something is producing smoke from the same area of the turbo. This smoke is produced when in the middle of acceleration on a right turn/sweep/slide. Basically whenever the momentum of the car and gravity are pushing the liquids up against the drivers side of the car enough, is when I see smoke.

Any guesses / suggestions?

 

Check your oil drain line and make sure its not backing up.

 

Will do tonight after work

 

Valve cover breather pictures please?

Where is it routed to?

 

to the atmosphere...

 

There you go.

 

Where do I need to plumb it into?

 

Somewhere it won't drip on the exhaust manifold in right hand turns. A catch can would work. At higher RPMs and with the addition of boost it will probably carry a lot of oil still. Check out the "Definitive How Do I Catch Can" thread (or something like that). It is currently active so it should appear under new posts.

 

I really appreciate your help, both on this issue and my few others.

If I wanted to post some data logs and have some peeps give me input as to what to try/what's going on with my tune, where would I do so?

 

We (they) have a fourm for ECU's but if you have a MS specifically, https://www.miataturbo.net/megasquirt-18/

 

I had the same issue, breather=oil spraying on turbo manifold.

solved it by installing a dual port VTA catch can and plumbed both sides of valve cover ports into can and capped off intake manifold nipple.
