New Turbo Install - How To Stop From Spinning *alone*??
 

Im about to swap my SSAC t04e into my crx and I realized I have a problem.

The instructions say to hold the wheel firmly when its started and to hold it for 30 seconds until oil is all over it. I thought sure I can do that

Ofcourse I never thought I would be all alone until almost 12pm tonight and frankly I just cant wait that long

How can I do this myself?

Thanks guys

Don't cut off any fingers. Just disconnect your fuel pump relay and prime it by cranking your engine.

Re: New Turbo Install - How To Stop From Spinning *alone*??
 

just start it
not like your gonna ruin an SSAC turbo, those thing wouldn't break if you threw it off the roof. quality stuff i tell you.

If the motor isnt turned over the oil pump is still priming? Alrighty that works then

Re: New Turbo Install - How To Stop From Spinning *alone*??
 

The motor isn't gonna turn on but its still gonna crank...

Re: New Turbo Install - How To Stop From Spinning *alone*??
 

get ur neighbors to help you ffs.. you hold it while theey start it up..

Re: New Turbo Install - How To Stop From Spinning *alone*??
 

Just wedge a piece of cheese in there

Re: New Turbo Install - How To Stop From Spinning *alone*??
 

lol stick your dick in the inlet and yell for your moms to come start the car ;D

run a wire from the batt terminal to the starter trigour(with the key off)this will turn the engine over but wont start

Re: New Turbo Install - How To Stop From Spinning *alone*??
 

I believe pulling the ECU main fuse next to the battery will prevent the car from starting(well I know it will do that) but I believe it turns on the oil pump. Then you can just crank over the engine a couple of times and the oil should circulate. Sticking your hands in a turbo while the engine is running is just a bad idea in general.

open the wastegate and wedge a socket on the nut of the impeller

Re: New Turbo Install - How To Stop From Spinning *alone*??
 

THIS JUST IN!!!!!!!

THE SSAC T04E COMPRESSOR HOUSING IS ------- MASSIVE COMPARED TO THE T3 .60 HOUSING!!

HAVE TO MODIFY EVERYTHING!!!

Re: New Turbo Install - How To Stop From Spinning *alone*??
 

Big suprise. ::)

Re: New Turbo Install - How To Stop From Spinning *alone*??
 

lol. i really did lauch out loud.

who would have imagined a t04 turbo would be bigger than a t3. whoa.
---- priming a turbo. the ---- will get oil. it will be alright.

Re: New Turbo Install - How To Stop From Spinning *alone*??
 

yeah removing the ECU fuse turns on the oil pump. Just remember to put it back in or the oil pump will drain the battery because it's an electrical device that runs on electricity...from the battery. :1

Re: New Turbo Install - How To Stop From Spinning *alone*??
 

stick a pen in there, start, wait, take pen out

Re: New Turbo Install - How To Stop From Spinning *alone*??
 

just start the damn car, oil is at 50psi and up that ---- will move through the bearing in less that .00005 of a second.

Re: New Turbo Install - How To Stop From Spinning *alone*??
 

i bet anyone here 5 bucks that his turbo won't spin at idle anyway ::)

and even if it does, do you really think it could spin fast enough to damage anything? And if it does, does it really matter?

Re: New Turbo Install - How To Stop From Spinning *alone*??
 

seriously :1

Re: New Turbo Install - How To Stop From Spinning *alone*??
 

lol, didnt even think about that. :1

Re: New Turbo Install - How To Stop From Spinning *alone*??
 

disconnect your spark plug wires real quick, prime it a couple times and then put them back on, not hard....

Re: New Turbo Install - How To Stop From Spinning *alone*??
 

Talk about scraping the bark, hardcore blowjob.

anyway just unplug the ecu and crank it over if you are worried.

Re: New Turbo Install - How To Stop From Spinning *alone*??
 

---- it, just start it up.

If you are really worried you can just pour oil into the hole retard :P

Re: New Turbo Install - How To Stop From Spinning *alone*??
 

Anyone who believes in priming turbos is not a friend of mine.

Re: New Turbo Install - How To Stop From Spinning *alone*??
 

Exactly. Do you know how quick your car builds oil pressure? Quick enough to make you cry.

I'm just hungry for cheese

Re: New Turbo Install - How To Stop From Spinning *alone*??
 

If you don't start your car right now I'll put a jihad on your ass.

Don't even think about trying to oil that turbo... oil will get there (unless you're retarted and didn't hook up the lines correctly).

Re: New Turbo Install - How To Stop From Spinning *alone*??
 

for real. and open the wastegate, it probably won't even spin.

Re: New Turbo Install - How To Stop From Spinning *alone*??
 

For the record, yes it spins at idle

Re: New Turbo Install - How To Stop From Spinning *alone*??
 

I've always primed turbos. Its so freaking easy to do why not take that extra lil precaution? :S

Re: New Turbo Install - How To Stop From Spinning *alone*??
 

Lots of things that are easy are not worth doing, i.e. YOUR MOM. jk :D

Re: New Turbo Install - How To Stop From Spinning *alone*??
 

BAD. you can damage the coil doing that because the spark doesn't have a path to ground. Just disconnect the plug to the Dizzy, problem solved.

Re: New Turbo Install - How To Stop From Spinning *alone*??
 

:y

or just get some oil in a cup and pour it into the oil feed for the turbo and spin it with your hands

there are about 100 different very simple ways you could do this :)

id just pour some oil into the turbo and spin it with your hands, its worth it then you dont have an excuse if your ssauto turbo breaks after one pull

Re: New Turbo Install - How To Stop From Spinning *alone*??
 

Well after all this hustle and bustle, I figured alright Ill pull the plug wires and crank it a few times

I guess I got lazy and pulles # 3 and #4 and said ---- it, its not gonna start

Went to go crank it and the fucker started right up!!

God damnit, anywho, its on the car and already popped a headgasket for me I think lol
