What should the oil pressure be on a ball bearing turbo?
What should the oil pressure be on a ball bearing turbo?
An oil restrictor is recommended for optimal performance with ball bearing turbochargers. Oil pressure of 40 – 45 psi at maximum engine speed is recommended to prevent damage to the turbocharger’s internals.
Why does a journal bearing turbo blow oil?
Having and Oil Restrictor in a Journal Bearing Turbo can Causes Turbos to Eventually to Blow oil, Because it Starves the Turbo Of Oil, Which Causes the Internals of the Turbo to Wear out (including the Seals). Don’t Use a Restrictor with a Journal Bearing Turbo, if You think the OIl pressure is “Too High” Then a Drain with a Larger Inside Diameter.
What kind of seal do I need for my Turbo?
Now, there are a few different types of seals for the turbine shaft. Most popular is a single gap steel piston ring. Works great has been for years. Things that it does not like, high crank case pressure, low perched turbos, too much oil pressure. How many of these will blow out that seal???? NONE!!! Next seal is the gapless ring.
Why do I need an oil restrictor on my Turbo?
These bearings require enough oil pressure to keep the components separated by a hydrodynamic film. If the oil pressure is too low, the metal components will come in contact causing premature wear and ultimately failure. If the oil pressure is too high, leakage may occur from the turbocharger seals.

What causes oil to lean past the seals?
Both Situations can Cause oil to Lean Past the Seals. Oil Pressure. The Oil Pressure Being Too Low, will Cause The Turbo To Wear the Internal Parts of the Turbo. Usually Once the turbo develops some In and Out Shaft play the Seals get Worn out in the Process, Which makes the Turbo Need a Rebuild.
What happens when you have an oil leak in a turbo?
Keep it simple: Under the Circumstances Where the Turbo Is Leaking Oil, You are also Losing Oil Pressure. It is Very Common for the Engine to Spin Bearings, or lose Compression Due To Lack of Oil Pressure in the Engine, Due to Your Turbo Leaking all the Oil pressure out the Turbo Seals.
