pauly_adams Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 well guys i though i would try throughing myself in the deep end and try a twin su carbie turbo setup, now have a guess what happened. i bet the first thing that comes to mind is a blown head gasket or it didnt work well you would be wrong the oil seal on the exhaust side of the t3 turbo i had exploded leaving a masive pile of oil and a stuffed turbo. i will post some pics later and some noises as it was dark when it happend. also the sound was freaking awsomeness cheers pauly Quote
peter mc Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 a word of warning with old turbos and cheep eBay crap i had a turbo do this and it burnt the car to the ground . hot pipe and hot oil = bad :'( mine did it at 130mph and buy the time it stoped the car was lost Quote
luvemfast Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Yeah, but its pretty cool. I've not seen a turbo, twin SU Z in the flesh. Get some video up when you fix it Pauly Quote
neRok Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 can you give some info on how you set it up too? Quote
pauly_adams Posted March 27, 2012 Author Posted March 27, 2012 yeh i will post vids and a how to do once all the bugs are worked out, as for the turbo is a factory L28et turbo from the states everything on it looked good but old age must have go to the seals as it has next to no shaft play and was not blowing oil out the intake just exhaust so its now rebuild time for the turbo.

Ben Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 Don't forget - draw-through turbocharging REQUIRES a carbon seal to be fitted on the compressor side. Otherwise you'll see how fast you can ingest an entire sumps' worth of oil through the compressor housing... Quote
