CockneyRick Posted May 14, 2021 Posted May 14, 2021 My first foray here & into the turbo scene. I pretty much know nothing about them other than they nearly always are on my cars! So i acquired this lot that clearly needs work to sort it. And seeing as i haven't a clue, it will be dumped on my mate Pete Field to mess with. Issues i see already are turbo has play, the plenum to turbo pipe has been welded on, & the wastegate header outlet was cut off? If i'm wrong on any of this, then please correct me Oh yeah, afaik the engine is a std 1127 lump. 1 Quote

Paulm Posted May 15, 2021 Posted May 15, 2021 Looks horrible to me,hope it didn't cost much if the turbo is knackered Rick(hopefully turbo is ok) Quote

But it's a good start/learning point for me. Turbo is most likely shot, but i know they can be sourced reasonably cheap(ish) Quote
Paulm Posted May 15, 2021 Posted May 15, 2021 Agreed mate,like I said, I hope it was cheap(knowing you it probably was) Quote

Gpz1100_Convert Posted June 16, 2021 Posted June 16, 2021 why not stick it in that drag bike you brewed up rick? mod plenum and away you go. if the turbo is goosed likely worth a rebuild perhaps. do bear in mind all turbos have some play. excessive is harder to work out mind. Mark Quote
