Turbo Talk

[bud8fan]

yea appreciate the help and info everyone...another note when i do this im gonna request a manifold where i dont have to mess with the coils or plug wires

then you need a log type manifold

then you need a log type manifold

Yea i seen Allen and Ray making 1,,one time.

some info i found,funny thing is i hated school ,that i dropped out Jr year...but now im researching this lol

What is good for a turbocharger?The turbocharger is designed such that it will usually last as long as the engine. It does not require any special maintenance; and inspection is limited to a few periodic checks.

To ensure that the turbocharger's lifetime corresponds to that of the engine, the following engine manufacturer's service instructions must be strictly observed:

Oil change intervals
Oil filter system maintenance
Oil pressure control
Air filter system maintenance
What is bad for a turbocharger?90 % of all turbocharger failures are due to the following causes:

Penetration of foreign bodies into the turbine or the compressor
Dirt in the oil
Inadequate oil supply (oil pressure/filter system)
High exhaust gas temperatures (ignition system/injection system)
These failures can be avoided by regular maintenance. When maintaining the air filter system, for example, care should be taken that no tramp material gets into the turbocharger.

Failure diagnosisIf the engine does not operate properly, one should not assume that the turbocharger is the cause of failure. It often happens that fully functioning turbochargers are replaced even though the failure does not lie here, but with the engine.

Before looking for faults in the turbocharger, the following points should be checked:

Power loss or black smoke:Is the air filter dirty?
Is the engine compression too low?
Is the injection system operating correctly?
Blue smoke:Is the PCV (positive crankcase ventilation) system operating correctly?
Are the compression ratios correct?
Are the spark plugs in good condition?
Is the oil drain free?
Only after all these points have been checked should one check the turbocharger for faults. Since the turbocharger components are manufactured on high-precision machines to close tolerances and the wheels rotate up to 300,000 rpm, turbochargers should be inspected by qualified specialists only.

[QUOTE=STUNNA;427266]What is good or bad for a turbocharger?
every thing you had here was correct but i didnt see anything about a blow off valve....you want to kill a turbo then run it without a BOV.

[George C]

for decades apond decades autos are raced and daily driven without a BOV...you need a BOV more on a manual then an auto but everyone just runs a bov anyways on the auto[QUOTE=bud8fan;427273]

plus BOV sounds cools, kinda like having a nitrous purge
