Turbo Oil Drain Do's and Don'ts. No More RTV! [Tech Tip Tuesday]

- Turbo Feed and Drain Sizing, Components, and Details can be the most important factor in the lifespan, performance, and durability of a turbocharger.
In today's tech tip tuesday we talk about oil drains. While RTV silicone gasket maker has a wide variety of uses. We feel that it should be avoided when working with installing an oil drain flange. As you have seen in the video the rtv can dry and create a blockage from flow. Even worse those overhanging globs can come off and get into other places they shouldn't.
The simple principles of a turbo is that it needs high (ish) pressure oil in, and no restriction out. When a blockage happens on the outflow, the pressure needs to find a place to go. Because the engine still delivers copius amounts of oil, the oil tends to work its way out the shaft seals and into housings. This creates issues across the board. You do not want oil in your intake piping or intercooler, and you also do not want oil in your exhaust as it will ruin Wideband O2 sensors, create clouds of smoke that makes it look like Uncle Buck driving your race car, not to mention decrease turbo lifespan.
Gaskets are a usable option, however, in many cases the gaskets do not have the appropriate size hole and can also become a blockage. Additionally, when taking things apart, if you do not have another gasket this can become a frustration point. Plus they simply do not always seal the best.
Which leads us to our new high flow drain flanges with integrated high temp orings. There is enough crush area to equal great sealing across the board. Our funnel design allows for no blockages. To seat the O-ring we use a dove tail cutter which retains the Oring. This means that there are no worries about it coming apart and stretching when taking things apart, and also you can install easily on vehicle, and did we mention reuse it?

I have this drain flange and it's completely AWESOME!
Very nice machined part, love that o-ring seal.
Great information, well laid out, fantastic delivery. What a great resource in the performance field you are.
Ben w thank you! We appreciate your kind words
Just ordered my T4 flanges! Super excited to get them on the car to fix my smoking turbo!
Nice vid. Just ordered one up! I have mine apart now and didn’t realize that I shouldn’t reuse the little paper gasket
Well delivered and knowledgeable presentation. Not what I hit in my search engine😅 but glad I found this video. Very helpful, thanks!
Great video
Doing my first turbo build, and I'm super inexperienced with this stuff. This cleared up the questions I had. Thanks. I too have boxers BTW 😅
Good job
Ordered the t3/t4 drain just now 🙃
Just purchased gunna give it a try
did u use it? have a opinion?
I tried this return oil with o-ring and the leak is always here, no difference with paper gasket. any idea ?
Is is possible to use copper spray at drain gasket? which is made with non-asbestos
Man I like your videos!
randy bastyr thanks sir!
U make one for the garret gtx series??
nissian np300 frontier pick up we installed a brand new turbo and passing oil at the back of the turbo where the exhaust manifold bolt on
Got a rear turbo drain line leaking is this important to replace ?
Thought the dog shrunk in size before I saw both come into frame 😂
The dogs stole the show.
Should I prime my engine after replacing the oil drain line?
I rub a thin layer of Honda bond on every oil drain gasket, let it dry completely and it'll never leak and you can reuse it.
i'm trying to purchase this drain flange for my 5858, just now and your website is not working. Please advise. I can't seem to checkout. Thanks.
Another great video!! Dont understand why somebody would dislike this lol.
It was probably a handyman.
@@blackphillbuilt8382 lol no kidding
very nice! I WISH all of them were like this. So stupid using a standard gasket for such a critical item.
You do 12an as well? Thanks
Asked about using this on the truck diesel and they had no idea how to help with it.
Looks like your dog is waiting for you
Why would these be illegal for road use as mentioned on the sale page?
Is it normal for a garret turbo not to have an o ring on a compressor housing?
Turbos done use o rings in the cartridge
RTV is fine so long as you're not idiot about it. More is definitely not better. If people would just follow the instructions on the tube RTV works well as a sealant for a turbo drain however there are better options out there, as we see here.
I personally use the rtv on drain gaskets and just like you mentioned if you apply it correctly everything should be fine.
Hehe uncle bucks wagon. Good one
I can name one turbo company that told me to use rtv on the drain which I refused to. They told me their surface was flat and the factory was not and also my aftermarket drain flange was not either. So I sent their turbo back and went with a better turbo company
Awesome video imo, could you link me a oil line feed also plz. T4
Lmao go find it yourself. So lazy
I believe Uncle Buck had a LTD. HA HA ,Love it
12 an version coming?
Rob Rohe we have a 12AN version for the large and mid frame. To run a 12an and fit in a small to mid frame it’ll have to be an extended length piece. We will be working on one for the near future
Oh. So this doesn’t go on my LLY turbo. Lol
Was this really just you trying to sell me that flange or were you actually trying to tell me about turbo oil drain, what about the engine side of the line, under oil line or over? Why not directly next to oil pickup... Not very informative video sorry, all i learned was that you really want me to buy that flange you yappin about.
