Hello,


So took the hoses off looked on the turbo and to me it dont look to good, Aslo should it be so wet.








Also i have no clue about these things, Do you just unbolt everything on the turbo and it will just come off and when you put it back i dont have to do anything different do i?

Many Thanks Eigdoog

Thats not good mate! Looks like somethings gone through that? Shouldnt be wet either

v man

needs a re build does that mate

its gonna be well out of ballence now

not too good that

and no its not something you can do yourself at home

they get ballenced at 100,000 rpm iirc

fooked...

Is there any play in shaft? either side to side and can you pull and push shaft?

Needs comp wheel and new bearings and seal minimum

looks like you've have FOD (foruin object damage) on the impeller, have you run the engine without a filter before, also if the turbo wasent ballenced due to the damage then it could course the seals to leak, maybe why the turbos wet around the center section.

speak to wilky on here (pf) he will rebuild it for you at a good price he's done a few people's off here and did mine last year,

think he charged me 210.00 for rebuild and 360 bearings with stagerd seal setup and thats balanced etc.

well recomended mine is spot on

hope this helps.

...

So run the car as normal? lol

I have not run the car without the filter.

Well i guess ill have to rebuild it, bet its not cheap

I didnt even think of trying to move it side by side, i only tried to spin it and it dont "spin" but it turns.

It would be cheaper to buy a second hand unit thats just been rebuilt - nice T34 on Ebay

Seems like a good idea, will the 2wd be ok on 4wd ?

I guess new ones are ££££

Dont forget im a jummie when it comes to cars

dont use the car with the turbo like that matey could cost you alot more then just a turbo rebuild!would also remove the intercooler see if you find any bits of metal in there

What turbo is it mate? I can probably get it reconditioned for you for about £160+ parts, I have freinds who run thier own turbo recon business.

definatly looks like you need a referb or a new unit mate it looks hanging, never seen an atcuator arm that rusty before looks like its been leaking water for along time

Eigdoog

The thing is i dont have a clue how long it has been leaking as i only got it in August

To be honest mate i dont know what turbo it is I would of thought just the standard 4wd cossie one?
Donno if this picture is any help, it is all the things i could find on it.

If you could ask your friends and see how thats goes as i will defo need it doing.

The car has been used like this to get it home but other than that it has just sat there, I will remove the cooler and check cheers.

It's a 4x4 unit by look of it, 60 trim.275.00 ish all in I'd say

From the pics it will need a new compressor wheel at the very least, you might be better off just buying a second hand unit in good condition?

Eigdoog

Think im just going to send it off, makes life easy i think.

Although would i need to replace almost the whole thing to get rid of the rust? If so !

Non turbo cossie coming up! lol

my bro has got a t3 turbo just been re-built with 360 bearing by cr turbos and never been fitted to a car since it is still in the box he is selling it due to upgradeing to a t38 he wants £350 for it.

Cheers Bram

v man

well if its money you dont want to spend then i sugest you get out of cosworth ownership asap mate

a turbo rebuild is about .1% of whats gonna be spent lol

it can get out of controll very very quick especially if you dont know the basics like what turbo you have

im not taking the piss out of you mate by any means but what you gonna do when you get a simple miss fire

paying tuners to sort every problem that WILL pop up is gonna hurt your pocket
