I know when you are starting your car the first time after putting a new turbo on you take the sparkplugs out and crank it for a few cranks. What about just taking off the wires? Wouldnt this work?

I need to go have an 02 bung welded in is it okay to drive it to the shop without the o2 sensor hooked up? I wouldnt see why not but I dont know. Does hondata use the 02 as a vital part of the running of the motor or will it be okay fo the 25mile drive?

Please help quick.

Thanks

i never worried about priming the turbo, but others do. I wouldnt worry about o2.

 

You do not have to remove the plugs as per say, You want the oil pump to circulate oil through the lines w/o running the engine. I hope I remember to do that on the initial startup, I always forget the little things like that.

 

Just fire up the car while holding the compressor wheel from turning for 30-45 seconds while it builds pressure up.

 

man im a newbie at this but even i know dont do that.---- cut your finger clean off.

 

It barely spins if at all when idling.It will not cut your finger off.

 

i thought i spun really very?or is that not till it starts to spool?

 

Not until it starts to get some exhaust flow going.Alot of turbos dont spin at all when idling.The directions i listed are as per on the box the turbo came in.Most people dont bother as it probably isnt needed but I just do it anyways.
