Loud pop

[Jay633]

Hi,I recently replaced my ct26 and after finishing, I started turning The motor for oil to pass through the turbo. Car suddenly turned on and I immediately turned it off. Cranked it once more and a loud pop was heard from the back off the exhaust, any suggestions on what it is or what I should do?

I'd guess it was built up fuel in the exhaust that popped when the engine fired on the second crank. Nothing to worry about imo, just be sure to double-check everything before running it!

I hope it is that rather than a problem. How can I pass oil through the turbo easier than cranking it. I don wanna run the worry of turning it on once more

If you just want to prime the oil system, I suggest pulling the 'EFI' fuse out of the engine bay fuse panel. Car can't start without it

All I have to do is prime the turbo then I can turn it on right?

Yep. Anytime I start an engine dry/after its been stored a while, I crank it (pull the EFI fuse) until I see my oil pressure gauge start to go up.
