Ian C Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Does anyone know what typical Diesel EGTs are? Aren't they around 500degC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vvteye Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Wow, What a relief Interpro insisted that I should use a boostlogic manifold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 That turbine has had shrapnel through it, no doubt 110% sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan.G Posted October 5, 2007 Author Share Posted October 5, 2007 Mine says Garrett and DAF Not to worry im picking up my new T61 this afternoon. Will go through the manifold with a fine tooth comb and then if it looks alright now will pop it on. No boosting tho for 200 miles as got to finish running in of clutch.

Ryan.G Posted October 5, 2007 Author Share Posted October 5, 2007 That's nasty and some serious wear/damage. Was it somehow still in balance though? If a bigass turbo like that goes out of balance it'll burn oil like a 2 stroke You should have nicked Wez's -Ian No loss of oil and shaft seems still stong with only little play. So glad i checked it out as would have hated for the guy to buy it and fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan.G Posted October 5, 2007 Author Share Posted October 5, 2007 Just a quick update to this thread basically got the manifold off and gave a good clean out with shot blaster at my friends workshop. Have also manage to get hold of a precision t61 today thanks to STUPRA. Great Guy Took for quick drive and feels lovely so much more responsive and at part boost its spools soooo faster. Roll on next week and will get Mr license to drive it while i map it Right of to wales mapping now so hopefully there is wireless at travelodge lol Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz1 Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 boll*cks, looks like i got to re pm everyone pricing my bits, to include a new turbo then:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 isnt the t-61 a bit of a step down from the 4088? Be interested to hear your views on how they compare in high boost driving. JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannoSupra Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Shows how sh*t XS Power really is... Keep Clear if anyone can! Some bits might be OK - BUT my experience with their stuff, awfull! I've never put anything on my cars, just customers... Always had to put stock back on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLicense Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Bugger. Perhaps that in someway goes towards your high inlet temps? Lucky that you were changing it though! Will happily take it for a blast Hope you have fun in Wales! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerous brain Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Hmm looking at those compressor housings I see the one I got on my new turbo with the funny 90 degree angle on the oulet. Is that normal? My car doesn't have that it has a straight out outlet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My car doesn't have that it has a straight out outlet.They don't come from the turbo manufacturer with a 90° bend on the compressor outlet. It's a bodge done by someone else to make it fit a certain car. Short radius 90° bends are not good for gas flow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bodge done by someone else to make it fit a certain car. Short radius 90° bends are not good for gas flow. My BL came with the same radius bend welded on by BL themselves. Almost all turbo's I've seen that use the 'stock' IC pipe routing need to use a 90 degree (or very close to it) radius in order to get the IC pipe pointing towards the inner wing. Edited - just seen your garage and your's uses the 'other' method... it's a tidier way of doing things, but very hard work to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 My BL came with the same radius bend welded on by BL themselves. Indeed, BL did it, not Garrett/Precision/Whoever. As I said; BL have modified the turbo to fit a Supra. I'm pretty sure the turbo manufacturer didn't weld the right angle onto it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah right mine is indeed a BL housing so if anyone wants one I have one as its utterly useless to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
