Turbo is pulled! - Page 4 - 3000GT/Stealth International Message Center

gearheadvr4 · 09-18-2008, 10:23 AM

I'm starting to agree with iceman on this one. I have a set of 15g and a set of 16g (with manifolds ect.) 16g is almost too much hassle, even if you already have everything.

I'm a glutton for punishment and not quite ready to admit defeat. So I'll prob go 16g one more time. After spending all that $$ I'm kinda stuck.

Turbo pulled Wednesday
Turbo Rebuilt Wednesday
Started the reinstall Thursday night

Stripped out one of the bolts to the Manifold, used nut on backside of flange
Bolted up to Manifold - Done
Oil and coolant lines - Done
Downpipe and exhaust - Done
Sensors (O2 and EGT) - Done

Tonight the plan is to drop in the radiator and reconnect all the IC pipes.

Good. I want to see this pumpkin. I might carve one out and bring it to you.

I was just messin' with ya, Scott. You damn well know what you're doing with that car and don't need my advice. I just felt the urge to reply with something sarcastic

(TD05's would be more reliable)

iceman_ii · 09-19-2008, 03:41 PM

Actually I welcome your advice, I just prefer to stick with my small-assed TD-04s...

fearpb · 09-19-2008, 04:14 PM

Cant wait to see it scott.

You are certainly motivated.

Turbo out, fixed, and installed in a two days is pretty quick. Good thing it was the front. I'm sure I missed it but how did you determine the front turbo was bad?

Well, I just finished it up, I primed her nice and long... I figure for somewhere between 1.5 and 2 minutes. reconnected the CAS, and started her up.

She started, and seemed to have no smoke

Its dark so I will wait till the morning for final testing... looking for coolant and oil leaks etc.
