The point is you dont really know an answer to his question. There was a post about this from an Admin. here lately.http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=131790&highlight=answer Have you ever taken a turbo apart? Have you rebuilt one? do you know what actually leaks on a turbo when it goes? If not then dont post. Its that simple. Giving an uneducated opinion does nothing for the forum and just makes it harder to search for quality info.

pull your intake piping and see if there is oil in it. Or if its just in the exhaust. but for sure i would be calling the company that built the turbo and see what they have to say. they might of even forgot to put the seal in place. ya never know.

That doesnt matter that only has to do with sealing the intake charge or the exhaust and has nothing to do with oil.

Have you had a turbo apart mjlamberson? There is only one nut or bolt that would make the turbo leak if its a t3 or t4 series turbo. and thats the nut on the compressior fan. and if that came lose you would hear all kinds of noises. So basically not to be rude but stop guessing when it has no benefit to the OP.Just because it was rebuilt means nothing. It could of been rebuilt but the person who rebuilt it just threw in a rebuild kit and didnt realize that the shaft had been turned down or something like that and that would cause tons of oil. Also how do you know the oil is coming from the turbo and not a bad ring or rings??

what kind of turbo?

i have them to they are 460's

AMAZING! thats alll I have to say...and that i thought you where going to tape it together and throw it on a flow bench first??

MAN!!!! I really hate you right now!!! lol that is a really really good find. Once my car is back together this week ill have to come out to orlando and see ya.

i have the he351cw not the he351ve mine doesnt have the vgt set up. i believe it can be made to work and i plan on buying one and trying to get it to work with my megasquirt but thats at a later date.

you guys do realize this is from 06 right??

yep should work it says its for the 2+2's which came with the 240mm flywheel. thats actually a pretty good price if its any decent clutch .

start researching the "REACTION DISC" Id bet it came out.

I dont think you can rest a 280z ecu I dont believe it has any memory in it.

Does it go to the floor and then you have brakes at the very very bottom of the stroke?? If so your reaction disk came out in your brake booster. Probably happened if/when you where pumping your brakes up after you put the calipers back on the struts.

Sounds like you have a bad oil ring and oil is getting into your cylinder. Id start with a compression check and go from there

thanks for measuring 280ZFORCE puts my mind to ease. ill order up a flange and clamp today

i honestly dont know. sorry

idk mine is working fine.

I have to say you are no where near done spending money on turbo stuff. because you see you are about to get a tast of boost, which is addicting and your gonna want more boost than what that tiny little t3 can produce.. thats the phase im in right now UPGRADE PHASE!!!!

i say vacume bag carbon onto the board but have a release film on it so you just have a pure carbon lip

some one had fun with there cnc router..
