Hi ppl,

I have a Sick Punto GT,I was chasing a Honda Integra a while ago,while it was on full boost it started missing badly as in the plugs had fouled and the temp gauge went through the roof! it also now bellows white smoke while on tickover (Turbo buggered) regards to the temp etc and the plugs would the turbo have taken the headgasket with it as well or has it holed a piston?

Thanks

melted piston

pull the head off and enjoy the damage

pull the plugs out and see which one's gone - it will be very obvious

cosworth-daddy

ok I'll check the plugs now, does Jano Supply Fiat Turbos?

Graceland

does who supply what? you could be asking for a complete car there

cosworth-daddy

Oops sorry, I mean't does Jano supply Actual Turbo units for Fiats?

I took all the plugs out form right to left the furthest right one was oilled up the rest are fine ..all tips in place

vroooom ptssssh

check the cylinder with a long screwdriver for a hole on the piston which the oily plug came out of, or if you can do a compression test easily do that!

does it still tick over perfect or a bit lumpy like it's still missing?

cosworth-daddy

it's Deffo missing altho it idles ok might be a little lumpy altho it white smokes very bad

well if it were oil it would be burning blue smoke as its white it means water so my guess is head gasket or turbo check your water level in ya expansion tank

Spax

(This is for my mate I used his login before at his house)It did run low on water so I'm guessing the headgasket popped,but what about the oilled plug? it was only the one plug that was oilled up

Graceland

one oiled plug = one melted piston

Spax

Any chance both i.e Headgasket and Turbo could have been taken out at the same time? it bellow's white smoke on tickover and I can't see it boosting on the Boost Gauge? I know it did lose water so I presume the headgasket is deffo gone

Spax

Doh, I was in the car when it happened,it missed then temp shot up and loads of smoke lol

What would make it bellow smoke? knackered piston?

james_birch

or someone who mistook the oil filer cap!

"look i can fill my oil up in four holes"

Graceland

my drink jsut come down my nose from that comment

Spax

Ok so the piston is Fucked lol

Sounds like the turbo died as well? or maybe the headgasket instead? when a headgasket goes does it smoke like a knackered turbo?

ste_gt

If your turbo's not fooked I'll buy the fucker just scrap the car there shite trust me, I've got one in a thousand bits outside

Does anyone do turbo's on here? I'm on my third from turbo technics, fookin waste of life.

Might just be the turbo. I did this on my S1. Ran like a sack of shat and kept oiling plugs up and it white smoked like a bitch as the oil was pouring into the turbine housing and not being burnt by the engine. I take it the turbo is water cooled?

I would remove it and have it stripped and inspected first.

i work on punto gts for a living and can say its ither head gasket or cracked piston and they normaly brake around the piston ring grove best bet take head off coz you already now youve blown head gasket and just take a lok from ther

IHI Turbo........Hmmmmmmm


Well you see the problem is they are not the greatest Turbo's to start with, the Thrust plate is not a great design. If i were to build a Hybrid i wouldnt be able to offer a warrenty as the shit themselves way toooo often.

Hybird is an option but not an option i would consider as the Turbos are not the best to modd.

Jano

I hope you understand.

The cost of a Std Turbo exchange is around Ł350-400 contact me via phone if you like or email.

Ok will do thanks, anyone know where I can get a piston (if it's dead) and an uprated headgasket?

ste_gt

Dude your problem is that this Turbo has only one type of thrust that can be used.
The best option for you is the T25 with larger comp wheel and housing, 360 bearing, adjusting shaft seal, new gaskets bolts seals etc...

The Turbo unit will be Garret and is by far a better choice. The only part you will need to change is the downpipe on your exhaust system.....

The price is around Ł500

Change the downpipe...In other words cutting and welding? Spose u don't know where i can get an Uprated Headgasket do u?
