Oil pressure is nothing crazy, I have an upgraded oil return line from extreme psi that I've never had a problem with. I'm thinking because I've driven with 'blow by' for a while that the turbo seal was first to go. Just wanted to see if a bad seal would cause problems like this
I own a 1995 eclipse gsx with an evo III 16g turbo setup and many supporting mods running about 21psi daily. One day during a drive, i noticed blue smoke (from oil) coming out of the exhaust under boost and clouds in between shifts. Before this, i have always had crankcase pressure but the...
thanks for everyone's help, turns out the thermostat failed in the open position and caused all these problems. Replaced the thermostat and went out for a nice run with no problems :)
A bad head gasket is what i fear, the only thing that leads me to think it is not the head gasket is that the car idles perfectly and runs outstanding when i do hard pulls and such. Also, the oil looks perfectly fine and has no coolant mixture in it. I'll just have to wait and see what happens...
Yes but this was a significant drop in temperature that never happened before i started having this problem with the coolantThanks for the info, although if the temperature drop was the only problem i was having i wouldn't be that concerned. The big problem is that the coolant i pour in...
When i went for a run once the car was at normal operating temperature, everytime i would do a hard pull my temperature guage would go down and then after a short while return to normal temperature. So far it has never went higher than normal temp, only lower.
No, had the car running until regular engine temperature with the rad cap off and it seemed the thermostat never opened because the coolant just kept flowing out the holeand thanks guys i will replace the thermostat tomorrow and reply results here, i'm just worried that it is a head gasket...
Okay so i just got done replacing swapping my Big 16 with an Evo 16g and took it for a run. Car had a ton of power and ran perfect. However, i am having trouble with keeping coolant circulating properly. Here are details:Even though motor has no coolant, it will still send out coolant to the...
Hello, i have a built 1995 gsx and recently my big 16g turbo gave out. It started to whine very loudly and stopped making boost so i assume the turbo went bad. I have been looking for brand new turbos and found a real Evo III 16g on ExtremePSI.com for $600. My question is will it be okay to just...
Had my Eclipse Gs Turbo for over a year and a half and i still haven't been to any meets or anything. Just wondering if any meets still go on up here. My specific location is Passaic County but im willing to drive to nearby meets. Let me know, Thanks.
Trust me dont boost your motor stock, i boosted my 420a at 8 pounds and blew the motor. Now my motors fully built and boosted at 15 pounds no problem :D
Hope this helps, its a diagram for your actual boost controllerA few notes: On the profec-B, there are 4 jumpers on the control unit that can be set for low or high boost operational modes. the profec-B will not work (esp on upgraded turbos) unless set to HIGH BOOST mode! beware, for...
Okay so i have a 61 trimm Garett Turbo and it dosen't have a nipple like most other turbos do. I know that the one end of the MBC will connect to the wastegate but any suggestions on where the other end should go? I've heard connecting the other end to your BOV is unsafe so that's why im asking...
