another noob question from me guys! well im almost done putting everything together, my question is, is there anything i need to do on my first start up since my turbo doesnt have oil in it yet?? or just crank it up and let it flow?

Thanks!

 

i pulled the plug wires off and held the compressor wheel from spinning and cranked the motor over for about 15 seconds. put it all back together and started it up

 

 

Inserted key, started, quick looked under car to see if if anything was leaking. A-OK. Put car in reverse, get onto street and tore ***.

 

when i did this the first time i had shitloads of oil coming out of the compressor i thought... omfg the trubo seals are fucked!... looked down the oil pan....kinked cheap *** hose :1 got some steel braided hose with some rice looking fittings and was all good, i shitted my pants that day

 

take off your feed line to the turbo and just put like a cap fll or 2 of oil in the turbo and spin it with your hand a few times to get it lubed ok. then turn the key and hold your breath...lol

 

most exciting part

 

just start it up and check for leaks then get ready to feel some power

 

Thanks guys! i think im gonna go with the cap full of oil into the inlet idea! hopefully ill get done tommorow!
