Gotta comment before watching the video, I already know this info gonna be useful 🔥👌 thanks for supporting the platform bro

Love watching Wannabe Tuner videos 💯🔥 always a BIG BRAIN amount of knowledge 🤙🏽 keep em coming these videos are gonna be the future go-to.

I got this as a recommended vid, very good info here. Oil supply is very different for journal bearing vs. ball bearing. Also, in general pressure and flow rate are inverse; higher pressure has a lower flow rate if you've already reached or exceeded what that diameter is capable of. Managing the pressure will always ensure you have a constant and even flow.

You guys are spoiling us before Christmas!!

So many little nuances to everything. Thanks for all the knowledge you share about our cars. Keep it up!

Love this channel, I wish you guys would upload some more

Yeah totally hear ya man, but at this point we don't want response to suffer too much, and we don't plan on revving past 7500 rpm, because we can't tune past that with Cobb's Accesstuner software on the Gen 1's. Also it's only got a mild valve spring upgrade (Supertech 55lb) with an otherwise stock cylinder head. We'll see what the future holds though, because I never expected to get the car to this point. I remember saying to myself several years ago that all I wanted was the stock turbo with a decent tune 🤣

Yep if your engine has good compression readings, there's a good chance it's from oil getting past the turbine seal and burning up in the exhaust. However to be sure, I always recommend that people try the deceleration test in this video to see if the smoke is directly correlated to oil pressure ;)

I have a stock mazdaspeed3 08 with 2nd cat and resonator delete with 156k miles on the odometer. the turbo has already been repaired with a new cartridge. and I have problems with the consumption of oil. In the mornings it throws a little smoke and depending on the weather it throws a little black drops like oil but it is water because it feels like water lol and when I do hard accelerations past 4k rpm it throws smoke like this video but it arbitrary. Any suggestions ? The car drives and feels good I didn't see power losses, could it be the valve seals, rings or bad turbo adjust ? Greetings from Mexico

@WannabeTuners

What turbo and exhaust setup are you running? In my experience oil can sneak past the turbine seal with very free flowing exhaust setups, when backpressure in the downpipe is at its lowest ie. during deceleration, and in between shifts at WOT/high rpm. This TS OPR helps significantly, but I still notice some blueish smoke on occasion. It has definitely helped to the point where I'm not plooming and don't have to worry about oil loss, but if I let the engine idle for too long and then start driving, I will see smoke that quickly burns off. However, with spirited driving and during deceleration, there is no smoke at all!

Great video guys! I'm over here stumped with my car, very similar issues with smoke, and crank case breathability. My engine is rebuilt, cst4 around 23 psi. I have 3 catch cans, intake to sealed to damond plate. Another vented can, both open ports on pcv plate to this can. Then a third vented can up top for valve cover breather. And a breather cap. I am getting smoke on occasion and also popping the dipstick. Gen 2, 10w30 oil. Did a comp test 170-150-170-170. Oil in cylinder 2, and compression went up to 170. Car makes good power. Is it possible that the smoke and dipstick popping are related somehow? Maybe one these will fix my problems? Wondering what your thoughts are. Thanks

Crankcase pressure is what causes the dipstick to blow out, and can also prevent oil from effectively draining out of the turbo. I'd start with ensuring that none of the PCV hoses are blocked and that the check valve between the intake manifold and sealed oil catch can isn't seized closed or oriented the wrong way.

@WannabeTuners

I haven't had much luck with restrictor bolts at all. First thing I'd do is a compression test to make sure the engine isn't the problem. Another thing is that if it's smoking only with the engine cold, it could be that your valve seals are leaking oil on top of the valves. Other than that, the K04's are notorious for leaking oil past the turbine seal, but I am sure a large reason for this is because of too much oil pressure being fed to the turbo causing oil to eventually push past the seal and burn up in the downpipe. I personally think that the Turbosmart OPR would solve a large majority of the smoking turbo issues that people are experiencing. It's just a lot of work to incorporate one lol

No I didn't notice that. I did however notice more smoke and oil consumption on the dipstick WITH a restrictor bolt. My theory is that a restrictor bolt raises pressure at it's ejection point, just like how putting your thumb over the end of a water hose does. I was able to get it to smoke on command. Pressure always goes from high to low, and oil pressure increases as rpm increases. So during deceleration, if the rpm was high enough (3k or higher), oil would push past the turbine seal and burn up in the exhaust causing smoke. This is because during deceleration there's virtually no back pressure in the downpipe, which allowed oil to take the path of least resistance. When at part throttle just cruising at 3k rpm or higher, oil wouldn't get into the exhaust because the back pressure in the downpipe would keep the oil in the turbos cartridge. When pulling hard to redline, oil would get past the seal only when lifting off the throttle to shift, due to a sudden drop in back pressure, then burn and smoke out the tail pipe :)

@@rabbon-ithegenesis7169 Absolutely no worry at all. Actually only the BNRs are a bit more sensitive, any other turbos for this platform: Garret, Mamba, CorkSport, Precision, and so on they will simply be ok with the oil restrictor they come with. Of course the sensitiveness these BNRs have is curable but to me it looks to be too much of a hassle to go through.

Please answer, can you tell me how I can hook this up to my KO4 turbo set up on my gen 1

Like where does the inlet connect to and the outlet goes to the turbo but where on the turbo is there a bolt you can take out and connect the OPR

Or a better solution just give us a video on how you installed it :(

You'll have to do some of your own research, but I know that there are several tools that can be purchased to make this process easier. We managed to fit the braided hose ends into the AN fittings using just a small vice, a small flat head screw driver, and some zip ties, however it wasn't easy. That process can be briefly seen in our 'built engine assembly' video. I've put a parts list in the description of this video of exactly what parts we used, and where they were purchased. The only hard part is assembling the braided hose into the AN fittings, and getting everything routed and tightened into the correct position. It's definitely a meticulous process and requires patience. It just goes from the block, to the OPR, to the FP red inline filter, then to the turbocharger. Hope that helps!

@@emadawan5292 The oil exits the block from right underneath the alternator. You use an AN adapter fitting that threads into the block which replaces the stock banjo bolt and allows you to connect the AN fittings and braided hose. On the turbo side, you use a -4 banjo fitting and use the stock banjo bolt with it. There's a full parts list of everything that is needed in the description.

Wish I still had my speed ☹️

Wannabe Tuners, I have an issue everytime I make a hard shift in my speed 3 smoke a lot., only when I make hard shift.

It could very well be oil getting past the turbine seal and burning up in the exhaust, but it's always a good idea to start with a compression test to make sure that the engine isn't part of the problem

@@gtavlovers3354 135 psi is pretty low. What were the other cylinders reading and what is your altitude? One thing to note is that the engine should be hot, and the compression test should be done quickly so the engine doesn't cool down. You'll get low readings on a cold engine.

You do realize this will damage your engine. Their design reduces your main oil pressure as it's an extra bleed from your system. Have fun replacing our main bearings or throwing a rod...

I've had zero issues. My oil pressure transducer is installed into a sandwich plate adapter in between the oil filter and housing. The oil pressure is reading exactly the same as it did before installing the regulator. If there was a drop in oil pressure, I would be able to measure it right away.

BULLSHIT Add on. REAL problem is that the Turbo's Oil drain hole /tube is Woefully undersised. Pressure is ONLY a problem when the oil can't exit fast enough and then backs up forces out a turbo's Teeny Tiny seals..

I have rebuilt thousands of those engines nothing but peices of shit they are lol

Way too much blah blah, come on!!
