Project Truck Turbo MkII, gathering dust

[ozonehostile]

I got a gti front arb with two new links for sale

well done with the progress chap

is your turbo mani just bolted onto standard xud manifold??

excuse my highly technical drawing :p

this is very basically how my manifold looks, based on a t2 manifold but using pipe instead. 4-1 so it doesn't cause space issues against the bulkhead and using the biggest pipe possible so as to not cause restriction issues or hot points

f*cking lol at that drawing
Sucks to hear about that damage caused from falling out :/ I met the guy I'm pretty sure? And he seemed alright! Bad times. Hope you get it all sorted soon mate!

[Piggy]

Yeah you met him when you were over, I've got my own place now so don't need to have any further conflict about it. All good :-)

And yeah my drawing lol, not bad for a laptop with a dodgy mouse haha

If it's that hole in the hedge on the Eardisland road it's not mine, that was after my attempt further down the road from there

Damn, I was close tho.Would be interested to know where you binned it.

That road is quick, I've seen many people coming a cropper on that road mainly in the wet.

It's not much to do really, just finishing touches to get it ready for the mot :-)

Saturday is working on the car day, got no time for minis at the moment ;-)

Although if you're thinking of going do so, brilliant track action with the minis

[Piggy]

already got tickets

[silverzx]

Nice to-do list lol!

[ozonehostile]

well bit of a sad update, you know I mentioned previously that Ive had a fight with my brother in law after he started the car up while I wasn't there which resulted in the wheel coming off and draining all the oil through the disconnected turbo feed?

well I was at the workshop all day yesterday doing jobs on the list and just happened to check my less than a thousand mile old turbo for shaft play to find out its completly f*cked. Running it dry of oil has resulted in a turbo with zero play a couple of months ago turning into a turbo with a good mm of movement in any direction. completely f*cked.

I don't even know if I have the heart to finish it, whats the point when someone else will just f*ck me over again

[lolsteve]

Piss through his letter box, or something.
That is a right bummer though that it's failed and not even due to your fault.

[Jimbo]

It would have had to get hot to f*ck the turbo up that quick

[ozonehostile]

revving it with no oil

[sam]

Awww man thats s#*t dude

[ozonehostile]

looking at my options, drive it till it blows up, in the current state I give it about 600 miles before the shaft snaps, or I can try source a new one at great expense and difficulty as you just seem to get them in the UK, all shipped from the states = £££££££

or take it off now and have it fully refurbed before it gets worse

[padge]

have it refurbed.

[darrenjlobb]

revving it stationary with no oil wont cause the turbo to have raping play....play only occurs over time / abuse...all that will happen with no oil is itl seize...I seized the turbo twice on my blown transit from the hose pipe oil feed failing out field on FULL boost at 40psi..just got it turning again with a deep socket, got oil feed up again, and ragged on, never failed / play never got worse of such!

I'm just curious how it went from zero play to lots and all that's happened is being ran dry and revved enough to leave soot stains on the floor :-\

[Piggy]

sucks dood.
seriously need to get that waste of oxygen to pay back what he owes and the damages too
