Oil Pan treasures!

[Sandman817]

Well this past weekend i replaced my oil pan gasket since when i would run the car hard for a little bit, oil would leak out of the gasket. So i went ahead and removed all the oil pan screws and the flywheel shield, and slave cylinder. Finnaly got the oil pan loose from the block and lowered it. Cleaned it completely out in a parts cleaner bin and guess what? i found some treasures!! I dont even know what these are and not sure where they came from.... Enjoy the pictures, any questions/input is welcome, please no bashing or anything

Quick note. This is after i installed a big16g turbo. When i bought the car, the t25 on it was blown and was blowing a ton of smoke.

Looks like parts of the old turbo.

Those are journal bearings and retainer rings for your T25 turbo.

Number 1 in the picture above is the journal bearing, number 2 and 3 are the retainer rings.

thanks guys for the quick replies...was a bit worried when i pulled out all that stuff from my oil pan...133K+ miles and now im not worried anymore

Here is what the compressor fins looked like when i pulled the intake tube off 0_0

If by chance you still have the pan off, carefully check the oil pickup tube!

Yea dude your turbo is toast....those fins are too far gone. Check for shaft play. With the fins beat up like that, it throws off the balance of the turbo.

Not to mention you can see oil in there .

yes this turbo has a bunch of shaft play and was blowing a ton of oil after boosting. I replaced this turbo a few weeks ago with a big 16g. There was nothing in the pickup so im all good now.

I love the name of this thread. I laughed so hard ha ha ha

T25 internals without a doubt. I see an entire thrust plate, a journal bearing retainer clip, and the turbine seal.

I wish Mitsubishi never used T25s on DSMs.

can you put the pieces together like a puzzle and take a picture? I bet its all there


Ok heres another thought, if that was the thrust plate, theres got to be more pieces of the turbine wheel in the downpipe, and pieces of the compressor wheel in the intake tube/intercooler if not inside the compression chambers. I'd not drive the car any more until you search for the rest of the broken pieces

Just like I wish they never used 420As on DSMs.

You are so lucky your engine is ok.

I blew a turbo with a t3 center section. Changed engine oil twice to make sure nothing was in the oil. Put on another turbo to find there were still chunks, as some chunks scored my #1 cylinder wall, blocked off the oiling passage to my #1 wrist pin/rod bushing, killing my 7500 mile motor with Eagle rods and Wiseco pistons.
