sr oil flow question

[born2boost]

Does the oil feed for the turbo only feed to the turbo or does it also go thru the motor other places. I tore some threads off with the banjo bolt and Im worried they could be going thru the motor. The car was never turned on but it was cranked over for about 45 seconds to see if the oil feed bolt would leak. Any recommendations?

according to sr s14 oil flow charts in the fsm its only to the turbo but I dont know if the s14 sr and the s13 sr have the same flow path

Well it doesn't have a seperate oil pumping system so therefore yes, the turbo oil lines plumb into the block and it circulates throughtout the motor.

But that passage only goes to the turbo .....then back into the oil pan correct? if it was only turned over for 45seconds i dont think shavings would have made it back down thru the turbo and back into the feed because all the lines were dry. Im going to pull the pan and replace oil feed line to check for debris. and also turn it over so the oil will push out the remaining metal shavings i cant get.

Well I don't think it would have gone further then the pan, yes. But be very careful and pull off the pan to clean it out for sure.
