SilverSoop Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Hi all, ok this may sound like a very stupid question but I am sooo tempted to give my Supe a run at Suprapod, but with the way my Turbo's are, would it be safe to run or not??

Nic Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I wouldn't risk it, if the turbo does let go it could lunch your engine like mine did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 lunch your engine? Turbo blades digested by the engine, the results are not pretty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Turbo blades digested by the engine, the results are not pretty! Pah, thats such rubbish. The results are fantastic, shiny new pistons and rods, fresh head gasket Surely oil seals wont result in turbo's blowing due to a few runs down the strip. Would just advance the problem?

Pig Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 He also mentioned there was also excessive play in the bearings. Well........ thats not such great news. My suggestion has changed then. If you can afford to rebuild you engine then go for it and enjoy. If you cant and your thinking to yourself ill just have a couple of goes but take it easy DONT. you wont take it easy and it could be very costly for you. HTH Thanks Nic, sorry i missed that one.
