veilsideTT Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 I have my turbos seperated at the moment and they have quite a bit of an oil residue inside the blade areas. This is due to me having oil blowing by the pistons and managing to work its way into the turbos. So, i need some advice on cleaning them out. What methods has anyone used or would suggest to do this? Cheers Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veilsideTT Posted February 1, 2004 Author Share Posted February 1, 2004 I searched on there but only came up with one thread relating to it. It plainly said "Dont do it" But one replyer said he soaked his in somthing and ran them for 65K whithout any probs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 Petrol or brake cleaner? Plug the oil enetry and exit holes first though. Wash through thoroughly and blow out with an air line. I just leave them in the grease eater machine overnight, you could soak them in a bucket of petrol instead. No smoking please... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 is it even necessary? Turbos get incredibly hot, right? Surely any oil there would get burnt away very quickly wouldn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely any oil there would get burnt away very quickly wouldn't it? The oil will (hopefully...) just be in the compressor side of the turbos, and that will never get hot enough to burn oil off. If oil gets into the turbine side it will be burnt off, or depoited as carbon inside, and short of a full strip and bead blast nothing will shift it short of caustic soda, and that'll bugger other stuff up, like the alloy compressor housing, seals, blah blah.
