Guest mk47 Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 my turbos gave up on me a couple weeks back and managed to source a set of replacements from ibrar. finally today started on it and following tlicense guide its not very difficult at all. started around 4pm today and been unbolting bits and bobs between burgers and drinks and have managed to get quite a bit done. have now wd40'd the manifold etc and leaving it to soak before i attempt removing them tomorrow heres a few pics of the progress so far first turbo all the bits that have been removed so far At the same time i have got a machine polisher and will be polishing up everything in my engine bay i.e. the pipes shown above and the throttle body etc and fitting a fmic aswell. cant wait to get the car back on the road its been 2 weeks but feels like forever!

Guest mk47 Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Well finally cracked on with it yesterday morning, started around 10.30 and was finished for 9pm, everything is back in as it should be, had a few problems with a couple of rubber hoses splitting but replaced them just now. all thats needed now is an oil and filter change which ill be doing shortly and a rad flush. quite proud of myself actually got it all done heres a few pics: Turbo # 2 Spot the difference: and Guess what this is Should be good to drive in an hour or so once iv done the fluids cant wait it feels like ages since i last drove it.

Branners Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 the picture of your first turbo...thats the inlet side is it not? It looks like the blades on the inlet side are quite badly damaged, as if something went through the turbo. Might be worth checking the IC pipework and inlet manifold to make sure theres nothing waiting in there to make its way in to the engine. And the exhaust side...I dont think thats a ceramic turbine, were those hybrids? JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soonto_HAS_soop Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Looks like a ceramic turbine to me, look how the other one has shattered around the tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB Yes the first turbo shows the inlet side. i have checked the IC pipework etc and nothing was found, although i found bits of the blades in the exhaust and front decat.. Its definately ceramic and the blades on the first turbo are slighty broken because i broke them with a hammer just to see how weak/strong they might be.

Guest mk47 Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 How did they fair in your hammer test? Weak/strong? at first i banged it against the floor with not too much force but they held out fine, and then slightly harder and they chipped. the hammer with slight force did not do much damage, but as i hit it harder the worse the damage they got. overall id say they are quite strong so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mk47 Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 If you can do it I can and can you post a link to Tlicense thread in yours in case anyone does a search in future. its actually very straight forward to do, this is the first time iv ever done mechanical work myself to this degree myself. took it out just now for a good run and to clear some of the oil out the exhaust its running sweet again. feels good to be driving a supra again. and for reference if anybody does want to do it themself: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=82952 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanM Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Think your hammer test is a bit irrelevant to the operating stresses on the blades. good the job is going well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
