should bolt right on to my 4g63 right?

 

[nfernotalon]

No, you need an exhaust mani made for the t3/t4 and theres more stuff too I just cant think of em right now... but no it wont bolt up, get a 16g or 18g or 20g

then this?

 

[nfernotalon]

Yes that will.. be careful with ebay parts too

my friend has a 14b off an old eclipse he had that he would sell me for $85... if there is a tiny bit of shaft play, should i worry about it? i read somewhere that a little bit of shaft play can be caused by no oil but if you get it up and running then it should go away..??

 

[firefightermdc]

if you're a 1g you already have the 14b, so you don't need it. go with a 20g!

 

[Plaser]

i know i have 14b..

can someone please help me? i havent got a straight answer on any of my other posts.. the car smokes white smoke with a llttle hint of blue, especially when its cold.. when im cruising it is not blowing smoke..coolant is fine..

now for the turbo part.. the turbo smokes quite a bit somewhere from the middle.. there is absolutely no shaft play and it spins freely.. it boosts properly and everything.. is it possible that the seals in the turbo are bad and leaking oil in the exhaust causing it to smoke?

this is all why i just think i need a stock 14b to replace mine. oh and the compression is 140 all across.. the guy said he replaced the valve seals 1000 miles ago but he could have been BSing me..

can someone please help me!!

It does sound like you are getting oil in the exhaust through the turbo. Check the turbo, or have your friend let you borrow his for a test. ;d If it works fine with his you can buy it.

White smoke is coolant, blue is oil.
If the turbo is smoking, it is possible seals are blown; however, you should also check your oil feed line. The crush washers can shift and/or deteriorate over the years or the banjo bolt can rust out and cause oil to spray on the turbo. Any oil leakage onto the exhaust housing will smoke. Hope this helps.

where is the oil feed line and the banjo bolt?

 

[JusMX141]

Oil feed goes into the top of the turbo's center housing.

There's a fine chance that your turbo is leaking oil a bit on the turbine (hot) side- I've rebuilt over a hundred 14B's and they all came from daily driven cars and suffered major oil coking around the turbine shaft seal from improper cooldown. Bringing your car in hot and shutting it off immediately is the worst thing you can do for your turbo.

if you're a 1g you already have the 14b, so you don't need it. go with a 20g!

You should be ashamed. He doesn't even know where the oil feed line goes into the turbo, and you're telling him to buy a turbo that reqiures extensive modification to the fuel and exhaust systems, as well as a tuning device.

If the car is your daily driver and you're happy with how it performs, find another 14B or I can rebuild the one currently on your car. Don't buy an eBay turbo or you'll be doing the job again in 3000-5000 miles.

go to vfaq it shows you how to do everything with pics.

20g he needs way more than a stock motor to run a 20g at its potential dont get a 20g first find out whats wrong with your turbo, It might be good still and they have a lot of potential for your car right now..

 

[Plaser]

so i guess, rather than ####ing with it, to just go go a junkyard and find a good one and see if it works..

the thing that bothers me is that my turbo has absolutely no shaft play and seems good..

 

[Plaser]

if i get a turbo off a junkyard car, everything i need to pull is basically all hooked to the turbo right?

and can i just reuse the old gaskets and add some high-temp RTV to them?

 

[JusMX141]

Right, but it's possible the oil and carbon have collected underneath the turbine seal, rendering it useless. Think of it as an old, carboned-up engine with carbon wedged in the piston ring grooves.

dude are you on a budget or something cause it looks like you just seem to be taking the cheap way out. You can get a complete gasket set at autozone for like 25 bucks. A COMPLETE turbo gasket set.

 

[Plaser]

but i thought if you rebuild the turbo you have to get it rebalanced? or can you just replace the oil seals?

 

[JusMX141]

The components on journal bearing turbos are balanced individually (compressor wheel, turbine assembly.) The only time you'll need to rebalance the turbo is if you've modded the turbine in some way (clipping) or if you've chipped the compressor wheel and are too cheap to buy a new one.

GUYS I FOUND IT!! its not my turbo that smoking its the oil feed line.. the gaskets are bad at both ends and getting everything oily..

now could this be happening: there is a flexpipe before the cat, could the oil be seeping through that into my exhaust pipe causing it to smoke?

 

[JusMX141]

Not likely....those are 3-layer stainless mesh woven over an actual piece of stainless flex pipe. Either your turbine seals are still leaking, or your valve guide seals are leaking.

 

[Plaser]

well i will replace the oil feed line gaskets and go from there..

 

[nfernotalon]

The oil coming out of the line is being blown by the wind on to your exhaust... same thing happened to me

 

[Plaser]

man now im getting pissed.. i just had the most ####ed up time trying to change the gaskets on that thing and it didnt do anything.. so now im pretty sure its the turbo smoking cause it blows out when i give it gas it doesnt just smoke when i rev it and let off..
