Turbos use hot exhaust gases to spin the turbine wheel when the engine is under extreme loads(think a big truck going up a steep hill)the exhaust temperatures rise which makes the turbo work harder these raised exhaust temps (on long haul trucks max exhaust temp before the engine must be down rated is 650 to 750 degrees Celsius) it is these temperatures that cause the turbo to glow red hot

If you have an 87 rx7 non turbo with turbo kit when it is started and runs for about 1 to 3 minutes the turbo manifold glows red hot why is this how do you fix it?

its not properly cooling, You should double check the oil lines running from your engine to the turbo, and then check the exhaust to see if there is a blocked catalytic converter.........you should always work on the exhaust before you get crazy with a turbo, all that hot air needs a fast way out.

Is it normal for the turbo to become red hot?

Yes, it is normal for a turbocharger to become very hot during operation due to the high temperatures of the exhaust gases passing through it. The turbo is designed to withstand these high temperatures, but if it becomes excessively hot or shows signs of damage, it could indicate an issue such as oil starvation or a malfunctioning cooling system. Regular maintenance and monitoring can help prevent overheating and ensure the turbo operates efficiently.

Lift the seat up all the way and on the right hand side you will see the battery. You will need a battery charger with relatively small clamps. Pull the red plastic cover back from the hot terminal and connect the hot clamp from the battery charger. Then connect the ground clamp to the ground terminal on the battery.

How do you use a battery charger?

It depends on the charger. The one I have, all you do is hook up the red clamp to the red pole on the battery, the black clamp to the black pole, then plug the charger in to an outlet. The charger has a gauge on it that tell you when the battery is fully charged. I don't know where to hook the charger
