500psi is normal IMO, I did dry and hot, I did the retorque, I already have 2,500 miles on the head. I do about 400+ miles on one quart of oil. Its not bad but very annoying, and the oil isn't cheap either.





Here is a picture of my oil return line, I think this the problem to the whole thing. I'm using a d24 oil pan on the D24T block, but How the motor sits at a 10 degrees and I'm thinking the oil is backing up through the turbo. Its such a low spot on the pan verse the drivers side sit much higher. I have only done this swap twice, my car and my friends 240 wagon. He is using the same set-up that I'm doing but his drain is in a higher location on the pan.

I'm going to try to relocate the drain with out taking out the whole motor. I might have to cause I don't want metal shavings in the pan.

Nice fittings and weld job there! I would agree, seems logical that that position for oil return might be susceptible to backups and stoppages, especially while cornering.

I shim the right side of the motor. The motor sits a lot more level, but still burning oil. What would make the oil rings fail?,

OH man... I had the same problem! I hope your engine was not improperly built like mine was. You can always run the car with out the turbo to see if will still smoke.
