Hi everybody

Hello, Im Steve Webber.

I live in West Meath, Ireland., but im originaly from Mid Glam, S. Wales.

I bought an Aristo 30V about 7 weeks ago.I have joined the Club Aristo. Because the engine is the same as a Supra iv'e registered with you as well.

I've been having problems with No1 Turbo Oil seals leaking.

I recently bought two second hand Turbo's, but after I had collected them, I was travelling back to Hollyhead when the engine woudnt go past 4000rpm, just crept upto 5500. Tried it a few times, no joy.

Seen a mechanic over here, he thinks No2 has jammed. I also got a little vibration rattle about 2000 rpm, and when im driving a noise like a police car siren. Plenty of power up to 4000 rpm.

I only have accesss to the internet at work, (at the moment). I work Shifts, Nights untill Wednesday, I might have a go stripping the car Thursday. (Not decided yet).

Buy for now

Steve

Steve. Sorry to here about your woes mate, but rest assured smart people will be along shortly narrowing down your trouble to one or two possible causes.

Plenty of Aristo owners here too.

Dunno why

welcome to the club mate.hope you get sorted soon.

Thanks for the hellos.

I listened to the noise today, I think its external from of the turbo's. i put a screw driver on the castings, could'nt here the noise. Meeting another Aristo owner Wednesday, may start stripping on Thursday, also I asked for back up from my regular machanic if I get stuck with something.

I noticed the Blade, I got a 96 Bandit, had her 9 years. I used to use back and fore to Wales, not registered or taxed, or insured at the moment. I use it occationally to go to town and back.

I was in Oxford last Tuesday, visiting my relitives.

Other places i visited was Coventry, for my cousin being made lord mayor seromony. Burnly for my girlfriends sons Birthday, Milton Keynes, Turbo fit, to pick up the second hand Turbo's I had bought,

and S Wales. I Travelled up the A470, (when i noticed the lack of power), to N.Wales. The sucurity Gaurd would'nt let me go into tesco's powllelli for a P***, due to it nearly closing. Then back on the boat to Dublin.

Found the problem, the Exhaust valve wasn't opening, the actator retaining circlip had fallen out.

Back on full power again. also, its early days yet, but I think no1 turbo seals arn't leaking into then air inlet sytem.

Welcome Steve!! Glad you are sorted.......

H.

Good stuff mate. Glad you're sorted out...

Still loosing a little bit of oil, not as much as I used too, and still got a noise like an American police car under the bonet, will start to prepare the second hand turbo's ready to fit.

I'll keep you posted.

Welcome to the club Steve

Glad you got the turbo problem sorted, actuator on second turbo is quite a common one. Where is the sound under the bonnet coming from?

Any

Hi

Welcome to the club Steve

Not sure. Only happens when the car is using a bit of torque, (It could be normal. just me being paronoid).

Im going to the JAE, I'll be on the Aristo Club stand. will be there all w.end.

I'll be staying in U.K. for the Bulldog Bash, Then back to Ireland.

I'll make a start on the defective turbo then.

Hi again.

I went to the JAE, I was the nearest Aristo to your Area. You looked like you had a whale of a time. Was going to come over but I was too shy, instead I sheltered from the rain showers in my tent.

Update on the Turbo's, I stayed in Uk for 3 weeks, when I came back to Ireland, I developed a Virus. I managed to change the Duff turbo last Monday. Could'nt use the new No1, Air impeller fins were damaged. So I made the new No2, a No1 and fitted it.

I did a bit of a mod at the JAE, I'm diverting the air coming out of the BOV, into a container as there is oil comming out of it as well, and also I made a Knock up induction kit.

After changing the Turbo, I still have oil coming out of that divert pipe into the container. Its early days yet, perhaps its oil still in the intercooler, or worse No2 is leaking oil as well.

Buy for now

Steve

welcome to the club steve, it was good meeting you at JAE

Hiya Robert, aint it a small world. Hows things with you.

All good mate, hows the car going?

I haven't looked under the bonnet the last couple of days. Had to go into Hospital yesterday for the camera down the throat.

Working tonight so i'll check on the oil leak when I arrive there at 7.00. The police siren sound as gone, just hoping No2 turbo seals havent gone.

Is yours all fixed up.

Yeah mines all sorted mate, i would come over and post but cant be bothered to be honest. Nasty job the camera down the throat business i remember having it a few years back.

Going well. Just hoping that No2 turbo seals have'nt gone.

What BHP is yours producing.

Have to go to work tonight, I'll catch you later.

EDIT>>>I couldnt find the post above when I went back looking, so I posted

this quickly as I was running late

Welcome:D

Been told tonight that my intercooler has probbably got a few litres of oil in it, so I have to drain it and use something to rince the oil out. Im nights all W/end, so will tackle it 1st chance I get.

welcome to the club mate, glad to see another member in the surrounding area ! which parts r u from ? :)

T not registered or taxed, or insured at the moment. I use it occationally to go to town and back.
