Where are you getting a $2000 clip from? Thats cheap if it is a supra clip. Remember you get what you pay for.........

Check your ignitor. Code 14 refers to that. Possibly the connections or the ignitor itself. Try another one if you have access to it. Taking out your ecu might be a little drastic! Definitely will have problems then!!!

My only suggestion is to use a different feed source. I use a tee fitting off the oil pressure sender as I have an NA block. The pressure sender screws on the tee as does the feed line. Mine is -4an. Maybe you have an obstuction in the stock GTE feed port somehow? You could stick a plug in...

You are currently using the stock feed port right?

If it was just trickling out of your supply line, I think you may have found the problem. I primed my turbo a similar way and had a good flow of oil coming out. You may be starving the turbo of oil.

Thats my setup in oldskool-nick's link. I have had a few people PM me asking how I did it so I will do a short writeup here to hopefully answer some questions. I took all the brackets etc off the top of the engine, and cut the piece of the bracket that holds the cable. I don't have a pic but...

Here's a couple of pics rebuilt, ready to go back on the car. We will see how long it goes for, I still won't be suprised if it shits itself in a spectacular way:evil2:

Woot!!! Turbo is rebuilt and boosting good... NO smoke:biglaugh: I was a little cautious about rebuilding my own turbo, but I shouldn't have been. It is pretty easy. Follow the intructions and its all good. Looking at the write-up before I started made it look complex, but once you rip...

Yep, the MSD wires come with a little crimper that you can use to put the ends on right. Next update from me will be a turbo rebuild. My stock CT26 just shit the bed at 10psi:cry: I have a kit already, and have a local shop for balancing, so I am gonna try to rebuild it myself. If I fook...

Code 52 is your knock sensor. Code 51 is TPS related. It will not light the CEL though. Maybe you meant 52?

The outlets are 3 inches, just like it looks in the pics. I like the no rice look of it! The outlets are only 3 inches long as well, from the end of the can to the tip. I was going to add longer shiny tips because at first it looked too short. But I like it now. This is a great muffler...

Here's mine. Magnaflow #12298. 3inch in, dual 3in out. Sounds awesome, nice and deep. Paid $78 shipped from Performancepeddler.com

Its definitely oil smoke. I've had 2 BHG's so I am pretty sure of the signs for that:biglaugh: Actually first thing I did after seeing the smoke was a compression test! Oh well, I guess it is time to use the rebuild kit I bought a while ago. I was hoping to get more life out of this turbo...

Good point Koulee, the shaft play is a sign. I realise that the turbo is far from perfect, with the exsiting shaft play, but from previous experience with other turbos I expected a more gradual death! My last turbo that blew seals (on a starion) got worse and worse over time. Not like this one.

Yeah, thats what I believe, blue smoke from rings/valve seals etc, and white smoke from turbo exhaust side. This turbo was pre-oiled etc correctly, as its been on the car for a while now. No problems until now. Just found it strange that I have had no warning, just started smoking pretty...

OK, here's the problem. I just put a new 3in exhaust on my car. Drive slowly around the block to check it out. No smoke. Go out later and boost to maybe 1-2psi, drive back to the house, smoke out the ass??? It's white smoke, definitely oil smoke, so turbo seals........ This turbo has...

Bigzavs, The wires are MSD 7M-GE wires. They are longer than GTE ones obviously. They have the correct plug end and you have to modify the coilpack end to fit the GTE coilpack. The set I got came with that end unassembled. I cut to length then cut the brass electrode thingy in half, and...

Did you look here? OH NOES...................It IS missing:aigo:

Steven89, Cost is relative to your patience! I was in no hurry as this car is not my daily driver, so I just kept checking the forums and picked up deals when I could. I ended up buying an 87 turbo with a BHG for my parts. I actually made money on it so this conversion cost me nothing. I got...

da89soup, First, congrats on your ROTM. Nice car. Now let me answer your questions. I am running the stock NA block and head, I pulled the engine to do the conversion cause it is easier to do. I also put the R-154 on too. I am using a stock headgasket with ARP bolts @ 80ft/lbs. Oil...
