i swapped out my Ct26 since i had an exhaust leak, since i was there i thought might aswell swap the turbo. I just went for a test drive and it boosted fine. I'm having problems with my HKS EVC IV controller so i unhooked that and its was boostin around 6psi. But as i was geting air for the tires at the gas station and hopped back in the car the temperature gauge was hittin the 75% point and i shut off the car and went out to look the top radiator hose was stiff and hard, but to hot to touch. I hear a sizzling sound comin from the turbo:1zhelp: would it be i need to burp the system after the turbo installation? or mabe something is stuck in the turbo coolant system when sitting? anyone ever had a problem like this after swappin out the turbo? i've searched for a while and havn't found anything related to turbo prep after installation etc? i just plugged in the key and let the oil pressure build up before i started her up the turbos boostin fine but then it overs heat when i boost, i've never had this problem before the turbo swap so i'm sure its caused by the turbo? any tip and help appreciated thanks:icon_conf

It may just be a fluke, but you might have a BHG that decided to blow at the same time you installed the turbo.
coolants clean oils fresh motor has about 60k swapped my old motor had a bhg it took along time before it started to over heat like that. i hear i sizzling or water sound comin from the turbo. Those coolant lines drained out when i removed the old turbo. so those lines are empty and when i place the turbo in it, it would mean theres air in the system? could that be a reason?
Could be a reason yes.
Simply fill the system with water/coolant when cold.
Put the front of the car up on jack stands.
Grab the lower radiator hose and squeeze by hand.
Repeat.

can't i just run the car from cold with the radiator cap off? and when it get warmer i should see air packets/bubbles? would the coolant flow form the turbo lines? since its the same system? or does it have some certian type of vavle? thanks i assume its cause it picked up air from the empty turbo lines but i figgured it wasn't alot so i problly didn't have to burp the system. but it started pourin so i guess i'd try to burp it 1st before i waste bandwidht thanks for the input if anyone has anything esle that could be cause also just speak much appreciated =) thanks, But why when anyone ever ask anything everyone who owns a mkiii would point staright to BHG? lol
we point to BHG first hand, because 75% of the time, thats the problem.
Not to mention stock 7mgte's are notorious for blowing head gaskets.

you people need to stop bringin up the BHG if anything has the word overheat in it
1st off Turbos make ALOT of heat inmost cases they will turn red
driveing a car with a water cooled turbo hard is defently gona heat things up FASTER maybe to fast for the cooling system to cool down fact is its most likely air in the system from replaceing the turbo burp it and get back with us

With the attitude of most supra owners, the age and condition of the engines, and the abuse the 7m goes through:
NUMBERS DON'T LIE. Chances are if the car is overheating and its a 7m - BHG.
Take you're 11 posts and shoosh.
yea wow i wouldn't be talkin to mdc like that lol noob (11posts) vs umm not so noob (3,334posts)
yeah burped the radiator and is no longer over heating. We'll i don't blame noone for jumping the gun to BHG because i do only have 11 post lol, but im orginally from SF, but it seems like i get more mk3 related questions answered here more. Thats what i hear everyday and every where as if BHG's come daily to the supra. Well i blown out a BHG motor till it knocked till it couldn't knock no more, so i know how the sweet sweet smell of coolant is when ur tryin to spit coolant outta ur tailpipe on a porsche when you hit on it -=]
however i think this turbo might be bad or mabe my valve stem seals, car started to hufff pufff oil burn smoke after a hard drive on stop. hope its the turbo and not the stem seals from sitting the car. Means upgrades =]
thanks alot guys for the burpin adivce, i didn't even think about it untill when BHG came up and i thought about coolant related and air pockets.

A properly operating coolant system will burp itself. You've either got BHG or a faulty cooing system in need of some repair/new parts, or you are jumping the gun too fast by not giving it enough time to burp itself.
number of posts has nothing to do with how much i know about the 7m and the problems it has so you take your jesus complex (3,355 posts) and talk to someone that cares,
on a other note was the turbo rebuilt or some junkyard pull ?

indeed
try leting it sit for 15 mins with the rad cap off and it should help it out alot or if you wana jeck for a BHG get a buddy to watch if bubbles come up when you rev the eng, in most cases you can see the gas comeing out of the rad
and smell the lovelyness of a bhg (trust me you will know the smell)
