HI sorry for the dumb question, but I was re-reading maximum boost today and I was looking @ the last chapter "miata turbo install". I was looking @ the part where he filled the compressor reservoir with aircraft turbine oil...but he pulled off a small plug, grommet, or bolt from the compressor side and filled it with 120 cc of oil. Was I supposed to do this, sorry I am new, I thought the only oil was supposed to run through the middle "feed & return lines". Please lmk if I was supposed to fill it. I don't see any of the plugs like on the turbocharger in the book. Thanks for the help...here is a new picture, sorry I still need to reroute stuff. Today was just an easy day of replacing the VC gasket and painting it. http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/4...1133xi3.th.jpg

looks good but i see no WI nozzle I hioe you get it all together soon. :bigtu:

6psi on 330cc injectors and a stock ECU, and now you have oil and smoke from the tailpipe... I really hope you need an oil feed restrictor and not a new motor.

Savington, my motor runs fine, I haven't got to do a leakdown or compression test after installation, but honestly it is pushing great still. Also I am runing the stock injectors now and hardly get any lag, mind you this is before WI. I am only pushing approximately 4 psi, this is due to the fact that I have a huge BOV leak. This should be resolved by a buddy of mine getting me a TT BOV. I do beleive it is a restrictor. After the first day or two the blue smoke stopped. Sometime but very rarely I will get some smoke above the turbo, "I believe it is the seal by DP". I plan on doing a rebuild soon. Thanks for all your help guys... but can anyone answer my question about filling the compressor reservoir with aircraft turbine...thank you |

Going to get MS...is anyone selling one used... I WTB CAS MS "going on 99, with 330's on a t25, but I could always remap" Boomslang. If you have any of the following or see any good deals please lmk. I think I will just buy the MS off of the 2 mods who are selling them unless I can get one used. Thanks guys... |
I think my compressor blades are hitting the walls, I am getting a clicking noise out of my turbine area...I will check it later today after work, would it be better just to find a new t25 or rebuild it if the fins are bent?

Compressor wheels aren't cheap but you might be able to source one. Rebuild kit and new compressor wheel will cost about as much as I usually find good used T25s for. ($100-150)
What are the specs on your turbo, i might have something for you. |

From the picture i can't tell. Garrett T25s standard flange is a square 4 bolt inlet with 5 bolt outlet. The mitsu ones have a round port inlet i believe that has a 4 bolt pattern as well. The outlet might also be different. A 3 bolt inlet tells me it might be a WRX turbo.

In regards to the outlet I am officially retarded...I never really looked at it until today. It is a normal 5 bolt outlet but it has an adapter to connect to a three bolt pipe. here is a picture. http://img186.imageshack.us/img186/5...1571oc0.th.jpg As you can see the three bolt crap mounts up to a five bolt flange. I don't know if this is normal but I haven't see it before. Anyways I am getting a weird noise when I drive the car...the turbo makes a slight screeching grinding noise. I don't know if it is the blades hitting the housing because shaft play seemed minimal. After a while "approximately 15 minutes of driving it went away"...I will try to get a video clip of it.:)thanks |
If the turbo is screeching your blades are hitting the housing which is never good.
That is the smallest picture you could have possibly uploaded. It looks like a common adapter, nothing special. Also looks like a HKS manifold which means it's a standard T25. That turbo might still be usuable, it just won't be quite as efficient. You could rebuild it for around $50-80 with a kit from gpopshop.com. Or have them rebuild it. Or buy another used turbo. |

Look in the archives on this forum. There is a How to rebuild a T25 and how to rebuild a T3. Between those two writeups you should be able to figure it out.
