So I was changing my oil pan gasket today and when i pulled the pan out, I found this: WTF

<a href="http://s70.photobucket.com/albums/i86/jsanchez430/?action=view&current=IMG_1754.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i86/jsanchez430/IMG_1754.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

I should have put a penny next to the pieces for size reference, but the circular ring is a tiny bit smaller than a penny. Keep in mind that I have a 96 GSX. I have decent experience with these cars, but I have never seen these pieces. Please help :pray:
 
not sure if you were still wondering what that was, but it is definitely from the turbo, I rebuilt mine recently and found those same pieces. The bronze piece is from the thrust collar, and the others are snap rings. if you are not running the stock turbo any more, don't even worry about it.:thumb:
You're a little late to the party. :thumb:

Old thread, I know....but might as well clear this up for anyone searching.

The parts are all from a T25 that was once on the car. The upper pieces are all that remains of an exploded thrust plate. The lower left clip is an inner journal bearing retainer, the lower right is the turbine-side journal bearing retainer.

Nothing to worry about for sure.
