Mon, 12 April 2004 12:46 hi norbie! 2 guys, who kill 2 cars, and had to take 2 trips just to get back to brisbane... what a fuked up weekend ... me thinks carbi/fuel system decided that while on boost it should not deliver enuf fuel, cause the other hardware appears to be intact: -the gaskets on the turbo (in & out exhaust) were not leaking -the bearing in turbo seems to have same play as per 2 weeks ago -the exhaust turbines has no visible damage (e.g. no sagging or missing bits) -the intake turbine is clean (e.g. front seal intact) and has no debris -the smoke came from oil on the waste-gate and it had carbon 'stain' like you get from sooty candle flame so i think we were lucky not to have engine fire -the oil-drain hose (heavy duty black hydraulic hose) had split below turbo which is why wastegate is oil-soaked - the inlet side flange of wastegate had minor leak so most of the noise must be from the buggered manifold gasket. -the exhaust manifold/turbine/dump pipe is internally coated with carbon/soot so the short run it got to get on/off trailer while running non-boost with heavy choke must have coated everything, because even the plugs are black - the manifold is stuffed because when you squeeze the wrap, you can hear it crunch - so a lot of the manifold has turned to ferrous-oxide or similar - will remove later tonight and take more pics ... so i'm selling the carbi, holley pump, T04 turbo and have other plans/moves afoot (tba) ... oh and we killed Wilbo's auto gearbox - so instead of spending the next few days off work doing fuck-all, i'm helping wilbo install a 5speed into the cressida... ... so we shoulda dumped the car in warwick in piled in with you/blake. ...a painful lesson.... moral of the story? don't try to soldier on witha problem car - dump the hunk-o-shit and don't go back for a replacement. charles.
