How do you get the turbo actuator part of the turbo back on with the turbo still on the motor?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The turbo actuator is a critical component for a turbocharged engine and it can be tricky to put back on with the turbo still on the engine. To ensure the job is done safely and correctly its important that you follow the steps below:

  • Disconnect the battery to ensure that no power is running to the engine.
  • Locate the turbo actuator and loosen the clamp that holds it in place. You may need to use a wrench or socket to do this.
  • Carefully remove the turbo actuator from the engine and set it aside.
  • Clean the area around the turbo actuator and make sure it is free of debris.
  • Reinstall the turbo actuator and tighten the clamp.
  • Reconnect the battery and start the engine.
  • Check the turbo actuator for proper operation.

By following these steps you should be able to successfully get the turbo actuator back on with the turbo still on the motor. Remember to take all necessary precautions when working on a turbocharged engine and always have a qualified mechanic do the job if you are not comfortable doing it yourself.

How a blower works?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A supercharger increases the intake by compressing air above atmospheric pressure, without creating a vacuum. This forces more air into the engine, providing a boost. With the additional air in the boost, more fuel can be added to the charge, and the power of the engine is increased. Supercharging an engine adds an average of 46% more horsepower and 31% more torque.

the 300zx is cheaper to buy a turbo'ed engine and all the managment that goes with it. otherwise you have to buy a differenct ecu and a turbo. modify the block and run oil breathers and all the running gear, intercoolers and sensors.

Can you put a blow out valve on an automatic turbo?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

yes you can put a blow off valve on any turbo application, A blow off valve helps relieve boost pressure spike/surge when the throttle is quickly closed, helps prevent damage/excessive load on the turbo and throttle body.

What is the functional difference between gate valve and sluice valve?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

a gate valve is a positive shut off valve for liquids and gases and should only be used in the fully open or closed positions, different temperatures and pressures must be considered to insure the correct type of valve to install. a sluice valve is a non-positive shut off valve used for heavier materials such as stone,grain,sand,etc.

Why a turbocharger is not used in a petrol engine?

Asked by Wiki User

They certainly are. Using them together with carburetted engines can be a bit tricky, and usually the compression has to be lowered when compared to a naturally aspirated engine.

What is turbo and what does it do?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A turbocharger uses spent (wasted) exhaust energy to spin a compressor wheel, which forces more air into the combustion chamber in a process called forced induction. The process of FI allows a smaller displacement engine to maintain some semblance of fuel economy while still achieving a level of performance normally reserved for higher displacement engines. The two liter turbo of the 2nd generation (95-99) Eclipse/Talon was capable of 210hp, which is more than some v6s of the day, and the same maximum output of the 3 liter v6 that replaced it in 2000.

Popular applications usually involve engines smaller than 2 liters because of displacement based taxes in Europe and Asia, although some larger engines are also fitted with a turbocharger (the Subaru WRX and WRX STI being extremely popular examples).

How do you make a blower or small turbo charger for a gas scooter?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

you can't

Well, if you have a small battery powered weed blower you could...you'd need to figure a way to connect it, and inject some extra gas, but it should work.

AnswerGo to wall wart and pick up a hairdryer. take it apart until you get the motor with the fan blades on it. That should run extremly fast at about 9-18volts depending on the motor. use a drill battery to power it. as for the extra fuel, figure out some way to get another gas line out, and have it hooked up to an electric switch of some sort, and hook that up to a bike pump needle valve thing ( you use it to pump up basketballs ). make some sort of adaptor to the air intake on a carb and fire it up! Also as a heads up, do not, I reapeat DO NOT USE PROPANE AS THE EXTRA FUEL!!! This can and WILL ruin your engine because it does not help lubricate the engine in any way, and could backfire on you resulting in a horrible explosion!

Answer

The previous two answers assume a pressure being built "after" the carburetor. That does require an increase in fuel. A simpler solution is to build an air-box "before" the carb and pressurize that. With a pre-pressure setup, the carb itself will deliver more fuel because of the pressurized air being pushed through it. The ideas above for a blower would work, although I prefer an automotive smog pump, due to the heat resistance, and operate it from a belt. I have used these to good results on Briggs engines. It would be heavier than a plastic impellor, but little chips of plastic from a heat distorted fan going into the intake would not be pretty. Propane is not a good idea, although if you are going to blow a small engine, you have already blown the warrantee. Think acetyline and raw O2 from your cutting torch tanks to pressurize the air box. (Use care and a scatter blanket.) I have made 72 horsepower from a Briggs 3.5hp engine. (blown, using O2 and cutting gas, aviation fuel in the tank, timing advanced 2 teeth and started with a drill) It lasted almost a minute, was at 13,000 rpm and accelerating when it blew.

how can ya make a engine go faster (peugeot 205 1.0)get the fan for the heatermetric from a saxo and build a box up for it so it sirculates the fan n seam weld it up, ad a tube to the center of the box so the center of the fan can draw in air make a tail on the inside of the box so the air is directed off from theside walls to an exaus pipe that goes to the air box, using fuse relay wire and a switch wire up to a permenant live switch. it makes a big difference trust an extera 10mph up a steep hill a got 45mph before 55mph after ok for a £10.00 and a bit off steel n about 2hour making it putting filler over the box (makes it look cool)and prime and respray £8.00 for the prim n paint!! and this is my way!

How do you fix the turbo on your 1997 Volvo 850 GLT?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on whats wrong with it.

1. The most common is a leaking oil seal, which is easy to diagnose by the blue smoke from the exhaust.

2. If the bearings are worn and the wheels are ok, the turbo can be rebuilt. You can have it done by a shop or by ordering a rebuild kit and fixing it yourself.

3. If the wheel or housing is damage, it would be easier/cheaper just to by a new/rebuilt turbo.

What best describes the operation of a waste gate turbo charger?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The waste gate controls the boost coming out of a turbo by bleeding off exhaust gases/pressure to the turbo's turbine. By control the amount of gases/pressure the turbine see's, it controls the turbo's speed/pressure.

Can you turn a non-turbo car into a turbo car?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

yes though you may need better than backyard mechanic knowledge. check the internet for "turbocharging". this will give you a basic idea of cost, what will work and some will give instructions on how to. alot of times they sell them in kits for the do-it-yourselfer. good luck

Of course you can put on a turbo, but you should probably get a professional opinion, and research witch is the best turbo for you.

Find another 93 eclipse or eagle talon in a junkyard and swap the parts from one car to the other and the computer also. And only run 5 pounds of boost. Which can be controlled by a boost controller.

It's possible but potentially very costly. Several things must be considered, including: (1) The current compression ratio of your engine - it will need to be lowered because of the increased air pressure in the manifold and combustion chambers from the turbo. (2) The fuel pressure regulator may need to be changed. (3) The intake and exhaust manifolds will need to be replaced with manifolds that have additional ports for the turbocharger connections. (4) The camshaft will need to come from a turbocharged car. I've seen this question pop up many times in car forums. It's usually cheaper (and safer) to just buy a car that has a stock turbo as opposed to spending a lot of money on turbocharging a naturally aspirated engine.

Correction. The camshaft need not be from a turbocharged car. Often times the cam specs are the same and sometimes N/A cars have wilder specs.

I've installed turbo's on a few cars that were originally NA. It's generally not as bad as many say it is and you can generally just put the kit on a healthy NA motor as long as you TUNE for it. The biggest thing that is overlooked is when you add something such as a turbo the engine will need more fuel/retard the timing. Example of parts:

Turbo manifold, turbo, oil feed/return lines, materials for a downpipe, materials for charge pipes, wastegate, blow-off valve (or recirc valve depending on MAP/MAF setup), intercooler (not always needed if boost is low enough), clutch to hold the power, silicone couplings/t-clamps for couplings, larger diameter exhaust system, engine management (DON'T cheap out and use an FMU or any piggy back system, most vehicles will either be able to be chipped and tuned by a professional or a standalone system can be used and tuned to your boost/power level.

Some things that are a good idea to change while in there are the head bolts. Most times the head will lift under boost if stronger bolts aren't used. Sometimes a thicker radiator is needed as well because of the extra heat the turbo can cause.

For vehicle specific stuff there are tons of forums out there online.

Can you put a turbo on your stock 22R engine in your 84 4x4 Toyota pickup?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You don't need to rebuild it just because it has 50,000 plus miles on it. My 91 has over 205,000 on the 22re and 194-196psi compression. If you put a turbo on the stock block you'll have to run super low boost, rear; minimal power gains. To do it right you'll need to do a rebuild with low compression pistons, preferably forged to take the extra abuse. DO NOT utilize the ct20 turbo that came on the 22rtec trucks, they're junk.

You can turbo charger just about anyhting. I found this link in a few seconds. Go to Dogpile.com, type in "toyota turbo chargers". there are more there.

http://www.marks4wd.com/turbo-charger-index.htm

You can indeed put a turbocharger on just about anything. However, if the engine has more than 50,000 miles on it (it probably does) then it needs to be rebuilt. It needs to be rebuilt from the inside out, boared out, new pistons, spark plugs, the works. Yes, it's costly but if you slap a turbocharger on a high mileage engine, it WILL NOT be able to handle it and you will ruin it.
