Different turbo setup...questions...

[BlackMount]

so doing a Turbo conversion on my Talon, and using a turbo that I'm pretty sure has never been used on DSM before.

T3 flanged Mitsu Turbo, little bigger then 14B, Internally gated, w\ a BOV integrated and recirculated in\on the compressor housing.

anyways

right now as the turbo sits, when bolted on to the DSM, the Oil Return spot on the cluster is facing up, I just want to know if this will cause any issues, as long as the turbo Oil's properly and i get all my oil back into my pan I'm okay with it.

Will the Oil getting fed into the turbo push itself out up and through that oil drain? I just wanna make sure.

Thanks for the help.

You can sorta see the oil return spot on the cluster on the turbo (its the green spot)

EDIT: Got my answere. Apparently if its not pointed straight down, Oil can back up and blow out seals. I rotated the Turbo enough so it points straight down and should work properly!

Mitsubishi requires no more than 10* angle to the center housing for proper drainage, compared to other brands which can sit at up to a 30* angle and still drain. If you angle the center housing at more than 10*, there's a good chance you're going to run into drainage issues.

Even the Garretts, turbonetics, and Precisions don't like more than about 15*. the fact that they say 30* has always been a horrible standard

I just rotated the housing. Fits perfect, works perfect. should be seeing 20+ Psi soon!

Have any idea what car that turbo is from? It sort-of looks like a Volvo 15G to me, which is a TD04 turbo....definitely a downgrade from a 14B in terms of peak flow.

A little off topic, but if you need help with the turbo conversion PM me. I've done plenty. Turbo does look like a Volvo setup like Justin said. What is it from (the turbo)?
