well its torn apart waiting for new parts, pics for the hell of it

 

[joka1]

well we just got the turbo apart and i was hoping the bearings were good but they are worn..... anyway the turbo was for sure my source of my oil leak.... their is a s*** load of oil build up on the ex side...... so now i have to wait for a full rebuild kit since i just ordered the rings hoping that was it........

well here is the exhaust side covered in burnt oil.... plus a few more pics, i figured while i had the compressor apt i would finally paint it....

​

 

[changedman]

how about jet hot coating the exhaust side?

 

[joka1]

i was thinking abt it but i need my car asap..... i am building a heat shield to cover the exhaust side and keep heat from my hood......

As a veteren member of the zoom zoom boom club, I wish you the best on your turbo rebuild.

 

[joka1]

well as the turbo is apart and i am awaiting parts i decided to paint the compressor housing black and cut the 1 piece billett aluminum piece that i had made for this compressor housing to fit the exact shape of the turbo parts. the spots that fit used to be a full circle..................... just figured i would share some more pics as i am bored and have no car at the moment............

comment as you wish

[wannabe]

so how much is this ending up costing you? obviously less than the BOOM but still...gotta be a little pricey.

 

[joka1]

my turbo is 6 mths old so i bought a rebuild kit for 100 dollars ..... plus i bought the turbo module for my mpi.... so abt 250 ish

 

[joka1]

well the rebuild kit arrived yesterday so holpfully by this afternoon i will have my car back

[joka1]

well after spending all day working on it my car is now all better and not smoking anymore....... woo hoo
tomorrow i will install the turbo module......

 

[joka1]

well here is the turbo after it was reinstalled.....


holpfully this saga is over since it still smokes on a few occasions when it gets hot.....were thinking it is just some residual oil left in their burning off since after 2 days of driving it is getting less.......

we will see in a few days........

 

[joka1]

btw i know i have some chips in my pipes and i am building a heat shield to cover the ex manifold next week.... so no comments abt that since i have been really lazy this winter and let my car go to s***..... my shows dont satrt until may so it will be fixed by then
