fuuuuuuuuuuuuck, really?? that sucks!!! is this the new turbo?

[photoeye0]

Yup. 2 years ago. I bought it and couldn't afford for finnish the install so it sat on a self. And it only has a 1 year warrenty

[Mazda_Powered]

dammit man, that blows! what now?

[photoeye0]

Not sure...push it off a cliff maybe.

lol no doubt, its like when i swapped BPs and did a clutch job, gasket job, axles, exhaust...turns out to be a bad smoker (rings were warn!) so it only lasted a solid season? haha it sucked.

Oh My GOD has it really been just shy of a year since I've been on? Wow! The car is off time out and I am actually in the mood to work on it again. I have rebuilt the turbo for now, but now I'm having some issues with the injectors. As far as I can tell 2 of then aren't opening all the way or something. I'm gonna head down to Raven works tomorrow morning and have them re-cleaned and tested. Fingers cross that does it or I'm not going to make in to the meet.

hey glad you're still kicking around with the Protege. What injectors are you running currently?

[photoeye0]

I'm tryin to get some rx7 high Z 550's working. I had to re-pigtail the harness so I'm gonna be so pissed if I gotta go with some other injector, but it would be an excuse to go bigger yet and maybe e85...

[Mazda_Powered]

I'd love to run e85 if it was easily available, but it's not

Looking for some 1000+cc injectors then?

[photoeye0]

Well DAMN!! I just got back from Raven and 2 injectors aren't opening so now I'm F-ed. Mike over there is seeing if he can find me any cheap but it doesn't look good. Any one have anything laying around in a 550cc or so let me know.

[Mazda_Powered]

damn dude

Send them to injector-rehab.

The 550cc can be bought at RX7club.com, thats where I get all my Turbo II stuff easy.

When was the last time (if ever) does injectors were cleaned?

Did you have the oil restrictor?

The injectors were cleaned a few month ago, I just now got around to putting them in. Something must have happened to them in that time. And as far as oiling goes, I have a gauge inline with the turbo and it's right around 5 psi or so at idle, but my oil return isn't the best. The turbo is mounted a little low but I just put an other spacer under my front mount so we'll see. I'm thinkin I might end up getting rid of the to4 and going with a top mount HX-35 this winter anyway, I just want the car to make it this summer...

you have an oil pressure gauge for the turbo feed? sweet idea lol
