I have an s14 sr20det, I just finished swaping it into my S13. It drives great! Boosts up smoothly and ect..But I noticed oil on the driveway on the turbo side. Upon inspection I noticed black oil comin out of the hotpipe!:bite: I cant actually see oil leaking from turbo. What do I need to do to fix prob?Also the engine oil is still clean, how come the oil coming out of the turbo is black?

ps. This is my 1st turbo car:loco:

Turbo Seals
Oil Blow-By.

Replace the turbo or rebuild it. Pulling the turbo isn't too difficult of a task.

Okay cool! thx man! Is the s14 turbo a garret t-28? I ll just buy a rebuild kit for that turbo if thats what it is. Also I thought it was a ball bearing turbo but the guy @ the nissan dealership said it wasnt. Is he full of BS?

I believe there is a journal bearing s14 turbo and one that is ball-bearing.
