Wierd Problem

[scotty nm35]

oh right...but if the oil pump is faulty wouldn't the whole engine just go bang? because when the car was still driving the idiot light never turned on? even till the day where i ripped off the blown turbo...

Is the restrictor in the oil line? It could be blocked causing the initial turbo failure.

how about the intercooler piping? wouldn't it just not start and keep stalling?

either plumb plumb it in to the piping somewhere or unplug it and try get it to start in limp mode

and hypergear, cranking is not always enough. i cranked my motor for about 5 mins with the plugs out and didnt get a drop of oil up to the head or any pressure whatsoever, started it up and had pressure within a second

JonnoHR31 so u experienced the same problem? cranked it a few times and there was no oil flowing out?

[JonnoHR31]

yer, made a slapper 30det and cranked it on the floor with no luck, then dropped it in the car and cranked it for ages (with plugs out), didnt get anything. started it up and got pressure straight away. fairly often cranking just isnt enough

besides, even if you do have a serious problem, starting the car for a few seconds isnt really gonna do any more damage unless something has gotten worse since last time it ran.

oh true hmmm ill start it up on the week end its just a bit wierd that my turbo was rooted from oil starvation but i was driving the car around for a bit then took it for a tune and on the dyno the turbo just died...thanks jonno
