Rattling turbo

[GlanzaJ]

Last week i had to changed a ct9 hybrid because it developed a really bad rattle and after taking it off it was completely f***** and now a week later my normal ct9 has started to rattle ? wtf ! ?

[rinseep82]

What sort of rattle mate?? You running an adjustable actuator

[GlanzaJ]

No mate , its sounds like bearing's , i hoping that I've been unlucky and 2 shagged turbo's instead of oil starvation from some where ?

[rinseep82]

Hmm well there's not many places to check for starvation to a turbo really return pipe from sump and from the bottom of the filter housing did you fit the turbo yourself

[GlanzaJ]

That return pipe on mine has a slight kink , but i thought minimum oil comes back through that ?

[rinseep82]

U don't want any kinks dude everything needs to be perfect with fluids really even if it's a small amount a kink can still restrict the flow look at a hose pipe u don't need to link it much before the water starts to slow

Did you not prime the turbo mate?

[RobSR]

As said .. Did you prime the new one?

If it's shagged two, does sound like an oil supply issue.

[GlanzaJ]

How do you prime the turbo?

[patman]

Leave the black pipe off which goes from the sump to the turbo (just leave turbo side off) make sure spark plug leads are out or king lead, so car won't start (people do this many different ways) then turn the car over till oil comes out through the turbo, when it does, stop the car, put leads back on, and black pipe on turbo then your sorted 👍

I would just add to the above to remove the EFI fuse so you dont fill the combustion chamber with fuel.

Also you are cranking it until oil starts coming through the oil return line (the one you take off)

[Liam_D]

Definatley sounds like you've got another issue turbos usually die through a problem with the vehicles engine. If you had a kinked oil pipe than that will more than likely be your problem. Or even if you didn't prime it properly.

[H_D]

remove plugs and efi fuse then crank the engine with the oil return pipe off the turbo.

Once oil drips out of the turbo connect the return pipe back and install plugs and efi fuse.

simples.

If your asking how to prime it, I'm guessing you haven't.. Which is probably your problem.

[GlanzaJ]

Im pretty sure it was kinked pipe
