Shortyz, where are you located?
How much would you charge me to
rebuild my turbo?
How long would it take to rebuild it from the moment I shipped it to you?

ahh yes, the risk we take at putting junkyard turbos on our cars... looks like ya got a bad one ;)

Re:'95 Si D16Z6 Turbo Story G O N E B A D :( (PICS)
 

poor guy, stuck w/o a car right now. Main reason I am too nervous to do one to my car. Maybe over the winter I will..we'll see.

Re:'95 Si D16Z6 Turbo Story G O N E B A D :( (PICS)
 

What could be wrong with this turbo?
Is it all fucked-up, or is it just a minor thing that's busted?
Come to think of it, it think that the smoke was more like coolant than oil........ Maybe it was just the coolant that was burning, and the leaking oil was just a leaking oil return flange.... Does anyone have any suggestions on what could be busted?

Re:'95 Si D16Z6 Turbo Story G O N E B A D :( (PICS)
 

if it was oil it would so smell.. coolant not as bad.

burning coolant looks like the smoke that comes out while your car is cold in the winter. oil is a thin blue smoke.

did u have your exhaust connected? was it coming out of your exhaust? or just the turbo ex outlet?

Re:'95 Si D16Z6 Turbo Story G O N E B A D :( (PICS)
 

its impossible to have coolant leaking into your exhaust. its a cast housing, not possible.

if the oil is leaking outta the return fix the leak.

its your motor putting coolant in

also if its 215 cdn, buy another junker. i would do it if the turbo was worth more but i am being honest here

find another. unless you want me to do the rebuild

up to you. but imo u can find another one for 50$

post a WTB in the classifieds.

Re:'95 Si D16Z6 Turbo Story G O N E B A D :( (PICS)
 

Ok...... it's definitely coolant thats burning then...
It's mostly coming out of the exhaust pipe, but some of it is coming from the downpipe/turbo connection. It doesn't smell bad...
What could be wrong with it?
Could some seal be blown, or WTF???
Could I just try disconnecting the coolant supply lines, and checking what will happen then?
I'll post the pics of how/to what I've connected the coolant supply/return to... maybe that's where I've F%&$ up.

Re:'95 Si D16Z6 Turbo Story G O N E B A D :( (PICS)
 

mabey u have coolant in the oil holes. take pics ofyour coolant/oil line setup for us


block the coolant off if its fucked up.

Re:'95 Si D16Z6 Turbo Story G O N E B A D :( (PICS)
 

I'll post the pics as soon as I get home from work...
I don't think that I've messed up the oil/water connections... The water connects to the "banjo lines", right? Maybe I've connected the water-return to the water-supply, and vice-versa.. could this be the -----up?
