Have you addressed the oil consumption issue yet? Do you think the new turbo might help or is it a motor issue?
|
No, I have not really addressed the oil consumption. I have a rebuilt a short block and i have a head gasket kit, but they are on the floor of Tommy's garage. I could either move my current heads over or get them freshened up first. I'd like to go that route as i would expect/guess i could get an other 130K miles out of the motor the way i treat it (lots of racing, lots of hard driving)
he took the turbo out (chasing down a coolant leak) and said its broken. which the last time i drove it the car made no boost at all (i thought i was due to being in limp mode Cel + flashing cruise) but i think it went into limp mode due to the dead turbo... Anywho i actually just had my "make an offer" accept on Ebay ... they were asking $400 and i offered $300. i'm a bit shocked they took it (but happy) :D |
TD04's go for $100 shipped all day long. :P
Good luck with all that, Dude. |
ah, TD04 isn't stock legal though for autocross , or rally (if i go that direction with the sti ... )
|
Also, it's *terrible* on a 2.5L. :lol:
|
Agreed, the TD04 on the 2.5 WRX was terrible. The 39 falls on its face on the 2.5 and the TD04 dropped off in the middle of the rev band.
|
Duh! I wasn't suggesting that Alex get a TD04. Rather, I was trying to make Alex feel bad that his stock turbo is so much more expensive than my stock turbo. Yes, I'm that good of a friend. :P
|
LoL and I just thought you were just trying to trick me out of a competitive pax setup ... hehehe

I need an other one. :( i got one off ebay for $300. car ran great... for 1 mile.. then the heads seized .. it appears my oil pick may have a slight crack after the pressure sensor, as the heads and turbo appear to have suffered oil starvation. Heads come back from AIMS on Monday. I also need a complete timing belt kit /w water pump. but i doubt anyone has one of those laying around... |
Actually, quick question :
how good are the rebuild services I've seen around forums and ebay for turbos? Is that a better route than buying a used turbo? |

KSpeed may have a TB kit in stock, and even if not it will be worth waiting for them to get another one. |
I'll have to call them up... do they do the turbo rebuild themselves or they just have the kit? I don't think i should be rebuilding my sti turbo.. sounds easy to make an expensive mistake...
|
Kspeed, doesn't rebuild turbos. TB = timing belt. I answered two posts with one response.
|
oh. sweet. I'll call em up... :)
