Hey guys, need some expert help please.

Basically i blew my turbo, installed gt3040/3082r (top mount manifold, wastegate etc etc the usual). Now the car misfires under load, when idling, all these strange noises, clanks etc are coming out. Very worried. I have my mate looking at it tomorrow if no success im taking it to a specialist.

If anyone has any suggestions on what to look for and check out before i tow the car away, please pm me or write here. Help is appreciated in these hard times :(

i think more info required.

When your turbo "blew" did the rear exhaust wheel come off or did the front oil seal let go causing alot of oil to get into your engine, because if it's oil, i'd be cleaning out the intercooler and replaceing plugs as cleaning plugs is often done incorectly.

I'd check over your work, make sure you didn't disturb anything else when replaceing the turbo, with a keen eye on intake leak's, are you running a AFM still ? or Map sensor? as a vacum loss inbetween the afm and turbo is not cool

When the turbo let go, the rear exhaust wheel didn't come off. Seals not sure will double check with mate.

We checked all the the vacum lines and all seems fine, afm is still there and so is sensor. The noise is comming from manifold and bottom of the engine. weird, very weird. Its very loud noise, banging, clicking etc and as i said before, misfiring reallly badly.

:S:S

Im just scared that its the engine, Dont really wanna do engine re build. Spent on it all day.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
