SiCaln Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 sounds like the turbo is properly fucked to me tho.. no boost and smoking like a trooper ?i can assure u it wasnt, no movement of the shaft at all and worked without any issues up until i took it off my car Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ollie ryan Posted August 17, 2011 Author Share Posted August 17, 2011 I no the turbo was mint in your car, I trust everything worked, as said it's something stupid I have missed, just want to hear the wastegate and screamer pipe now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_shaun_ Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 its likely gonna be something small staring u in the face but u cant see it cause your looking to hard thats what always happens to me lol. did u check to see if the wastegate was sticking? am sure if u dont get it before sunday between u and shorty ull get it sorted and i guarantee the first time u drive it boosting properly it will be worth the wait Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ollie ryan Posted August 21, 2011 Author Share Posted August 21, 2011 right this weeks update thenduring the week i recieved a nice little JDM boxit contained a splitfire grounding kit looks an awesome bit of kit and will get that fitted next weekend then today i noticed the headlights and clear indicators are looking very dirty and horrible so i gave the headlights a nice flat and polishyou can just see in that picture the dirty indicators so i took them apart and gave them a good clean and re-sealed them and its made the front end look so much cleaner and then the legends shorty and turbo grant turned up today to help me with my turbo problemsthey tried a few things with no luck but after about half an hour they decided to run a vac line from the throttle body to the top of the wastgate and we had boost and no more smoking!so happy and cant thanks shorty and turbo grant enough for their help, the car is fast! to say the least and after three weeks of not driving the starlet the brakes scared the hell out of me! so defiantly sorting out some 4pots now!after they left i gave the car a well deserved clean and got bored so took as many photos of the new sexy engine bay next weekend i will have a new midsection made up as my current one is restricitng the turbo so much its like a brick wall and if i have time i will fit the grounding kit and hopfully the polybush engine mount edit: forgot to mention, as some of you no my fan hasnt been working for the past year but today we also managed to sort that out so the fan is now working as it should Quote Link to post Share on other sites

templar2007 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 O is it mate I was thinking to go this turbo or Td04 when I got my car I bet your loving it so much Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ollie ryan Posted August 21, 2011 Author Share Posted August 21, 2011 K24 is the way forward if you ask me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shorty Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 As stated ollies mid section is restricting the turbo a fair bit, the bends are tiny! When his new section is on should spool far better. Much more savage a kick than my old td04 kit tbh. K24 is a nice setup imo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ollie ryan Posted August 21, 2011 Author Share Posted August 21, 2011 i just didnt want to do the usual td04 and the k24 can get the power i want Quote Link to post Share on other sites
