Best Answer

Either the turbo/turbine housing is too large, the waste gate is stuck open, or the turbine fins are damaged.

R33 stock turbo should turbo spool with revs or is okay to spool at any time?

Only a Big Turbo should spool. As far as my Knowledge goes a Stock turbo shouldn't spool at any time. Should only spool with rpm. That's what the factory setting comes at. Unless you've changed something d go see a mechanic about it


Can the EJ208 turbos run at once?

Yes, they run in a sequential setup. The other turbo will start to spool up after a certain engine speed is achieved. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin-turbo#Sequential_turbos


Inoperative turbochargers could be caused by?

It could be a couple things, if it is a stock turbo? It could be damaged( compressor/turbine wheel). If it spins freely and no visible damage, you would need to check for exhaust and compressor piping for leaks. If it is an aftermarket turbo or turbo installed on an engine that didn't come with one. Other than the causes above, the turbo or turbine housing is too large and their isn't enough exhaust volume to spool the turbo up in your operating rpm range.


What causes the turbo charger to red hot on stationary engines?

Because the exhaust is not cooling enough before its cycled through the turbo which causes the turbo to heat up and turn red.


What are the benefits of twin scroll turbo chargers in the performance application?

The twin scroll turbo chargers take less time to spool and it reacts faster instead of a single scroll turbo. Plus, it packs a bigger turbo boost to the engine u applied it to instead of a normal turbo.


Can you run a twin turbo set up side by side on a Talon front wheel drive tsi help?

yes you can, this is known as "tandoming" it isn't worth it tho'. I build these engines all of the time and the engines perform better with one larger turbo. i have tried this with over 7 diffrent sized turbos and the amount of money and time isn't worth it. sparky11: Hes right about it running stronger and more powerful but don't forget that powers nothing if you get to much turbo lag with a big turbo. It isn't cheap but if you wanted to run a inline twin turbo set up then do your research on a sequential application. What this is, is a smaller turbo feeding a larger turbo, the small turbo spools real quick forcing stronger air into the larger turbo allowing it to spool quicker. Not to mention that youll start to spool at like 2000 rpm or even less. (not cheap!!)


What is the advantage of a supercharged engine?

s/c have instant power there is no lag waiting for your turbine to spool up but it also takes engines power to drive you s/charger turbo uses exhaust gasses to power turbos so there is no power lose to drive turbo its free power


What is a spool case?

a spoolcase is something that you use in sewing or when you sew you put the spool into a spoolcase but you must make sure the spool is filled up with thread then you can start sewing only if you have a long piece of thread in the spool!!


Cant get the spool out of a craftsman line trimmer?

1. Rotate spool to line up arrows on spool and surrounding casing. 2. Find notch and pry with wide flat-end screwdriver. 3. Spool will pop out.


Feeds thread from spool to needle?

The thread moves from the spool through the needle to make stitches on a sewing machine. The thread take-up lever is what feeds the thread from the spool to the needle as it moves up and down.


Why VCR eating tapes?

A wobbling take-up spool causes the tape to wind unevenly and eventually seize against the inner cassette casing. Once the take-up spool seizes, tape pulled past the reader head will be pushed out of the cassette and become entangled in the moving parts of the tape drive.


Whats the biggest turbo you can put on a d16a3 dohc motor with 78 000 miles and the cylinders bored 30 over without blowing the motor?

the turbo has nothing to do with blowing the motor it's the amount of boost you run the will blow it the bigger the turbo the longer it will take spool.
