Was just out in the saph,boosting in 2nd changed into 3rd got a little boost then fook all,got it back in the garage and took off the air filter to turbo hose and when idling the turbo aint spinning but will spin when i turn it with my finger any ideas,fooked turbo ????

 

Exactly the same thing happend to me buddy took the turbo off to find one of the blades missing at the back of the shaft must have shot off down the exhaust
Strange question i know but does the exhaust sound any louder than normal? The reason i ask is mine sounded alot different when it happened lol

 

Fooked then Mates coming to look at it tomorrow night,might be the time to upgrade to roller bearing t34 or t38.

 

is there play in the shaft, are the hoses still on,one may have blew off.

 

No play in shaft dave all hoses on too.

 

Split hose?

 

Gonna look at it in a bit paul as it was fooking roasting earlier on,split hose would be nice but i doubt it.

 

There was no play in my shaft at the time wouldnt spin round but would also spin when i turned it with my fingers!
Keep us posted

 

Will do m8,think it's gonna be fucked but will gladly be proved wrong lol.

 

Deffo not hoses.

 

not so good mate just as i was wanting to race you
hopefully something simple mate but sounds like broken shaft we will find out tom night

 

Might be the time to upgrade or buy the turbo in the for sale bit with maram shaft and get anti lag.

 

its not the hoses, the exhaust gas would still spin the turbo.

 

its a possibility of a snapped shaft too, had one the other week and the exhaust wheel was wobling about !!

 

Ohh its a fuckin braw job takin a turbo off a 4x4 saph Kev

Good luck

 

WHY do i want to get back into cossie ownership ???

RB T34 Kev....nice...

 

fucked turbo i reckon i'm afriad; the turbo will spin even at idle so i personally recon you have a snapped shaft.

 

Is the hose collapsing when you come on boost ???

funny enough mine did the same tonight and i think the inlet hose is collapsing on boost

 

It took me an hour to get the turbo off my 4x4, you need some short spanners aswell. Hope its something silly, could you try takeing the downpipe off 1st and checking if the shaft is still in tact?

 

Think i might still have a cut down spanner in the tool box and a grinded down socket

 

As most have said it sounds like the exhaust wheel has lost some blades

Hope its nothing major Kev

Steve

 

the turbo wheel will still spin on idle with the hose disconnected, if its not then, there is something very wrong

 

Kev,

undo the downpipe bolts on the turbo and pull it back so you can see/feel the exhaust blades/shaft, be able to see if the shaft is turning both wheels.

 

Thanks for all replies,will find out for deffo tomorrow,who's good and cheap for t34.63,seen woodford do one for Ł765.

 

Put on a GT3071

 

Mega expensive though doug.

 

T4, as the great man Tony Mannock said "fit and forget", oh and "that cars going to be fast as fuck boy" lol

Steve

 

Got to be only a couple of hundred quid more Kev

just dont tell your Dorris

 

Shit luck that mate, hopefully it all pans out ok.
You should just keep them in the garage, that way they dont break

 

its time for a t38 kev[Ł875 +vat on turbo technics site]

 

She knows and was ok about it,it's all the other tstuff you need as well as the gt30 that puts me off.

 

Nah use and abuse barry

 

That is one of the options james,very tempted.will see what the damage is tomorrow.

 

kev ut t38 is far more linear in its delivery than any of those other turbo,s.

can only be a good thing for your gearbox.

ps. did you fit your diodes yet?

 

mind you you've not long had it mapped didnt you?so guess its best you replace it with what its already got

 

Not fitted yet,was gonna buy a stack st2oo tacho but if new turbo is required will fit diodes.
M8 has a t38 fitted and was impressive on 14 psi now peaking at 34 and is well fast.

 

Yeah and there's one for sale on here with maram shaft,and i was gonna fit als soooooooooooooo.

 

dont bother with the stack mate. diodes will work as ive temp tried mine up to 4k and was perfect. couldnt rev more than that as car was stone cold.

made my self a nice little loom too, so i can disconnect the diodes any time i like



used alittle box to house the diodes as i wasnt sure if you could heat shrink them.

the two wires go into the coilpack plug, then just attach a wire from the last diode to the clocks fuck it cant move the pictures

 

sounds stupid but you acdtuator rod hasnt come off has it

i remember when i lost boost all of a sudden car exhaust note changed and lost all power, sounded and went like a replica lol, ended up being the little clip fell out that hods the rod on and the actuator popped off

 

Nah it's still on wastegate penny seems ok too.
