And the Fun (upgrades) begin
« on: June 29 2006, 08:56:48 PM »
Pulled IC to clean & found....

That the new turbo to IC hose already had black oil in it. I pulled the filter hose off and checked the wheel from there. Little to no in/out play, but has up/down play. IF I push up on wheel and spin I can hear the fins slightly hitting the housing and there is black oil on this side. I didn't pull the exhuast side. Guess sitting mostly for the last ten years wasn't good for it.

I'm borrowing a stock turbo from a friend (Chris from TBS) while I decide on a turbo.. I'll get back under the car this Sunday and pull the TC cover off and see if I have a stock TC..this will decide on the size of turbo I go.. Thinking of the GT3161E, GT6152 or what is this GT3255????? I already have 50lb injectors and a razor kit to support a larger turbo. Later I'll upgrade the IC to a stretch stock location..I know it's a interheater..j ust don't want to go front mount.

At least you caught it early before things had gotten worse,
and you have a stock turbo to drive on in the interim. :prayer:  :psix;

No I'm not having fun...OK some fun... Yes I'm glad I had another to put on, I had 2 people offer me stockers while I decide on a turbo.  Tested the TC stall last night..it's a stocker. I didn't catch the 83's turbo going out in time...it was ugly

I called limited talked to Chopper..he said TA49 or TE44 would be best for my car. He did not Recommend a GT series turbo. So I'm leaning towards the 44...but I have time to think about it..My trip to Seattle just got canx so I have a couple of days off...Friday night T&T...oil leak isn't to bad...thinking of going, it's 2 hours there  or am I pushing my luck  :dunno:

IMHO, calling Limit and talking to Chopper is wise. Great people.

I totally imagine Chopper as this rube with one huge tooth. Hence the name.

Any reason not to use the GT series turbo?

'Fun' with a TR....now there's a fantasy of mine. I wouldn't let the TC limit your choice on a turbo....heck, Pat's has some strong 12"s (2800 stall or so) for under $300. Just a thought. If'n you find other parts that ain't doing so well, ask us first....betwe en us, we've likely got an entire car worth os spare parts. If I've got anything of use to you, it's yours.

Thanks that means a lot...Wife has money, I don't..lol
I found a cam sensor for CHEAP that I'll might get too, mine is ticking. I may steal the 10.4mm wires off the 83 since it's sitting and put the old wires back on it.

"cool and fun" is an understatement .

it's like, every car you can imagine shows up. Cars that shoot flames, straight up illegal race cars, old tyme cars, modern cars, everyone does burnouts...peo ple line the streets and it looks like Mardi Gras, fat tuesday, Canal street in New Orleans. People come from all over America for this.
