MaTTSuN Posted May 29, 2004 Share Posted May 29, 2004 ive bought a 81 zx with a blown turbo, I have a turbo 2 put on it but i was wondering if i have 2 do anything 2 it befor starting it up? Oil has gotten into the intake so do i NEED 2 clean up anything or can i just put a new turbo on and drive it? Thanks allot :Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yo2001 Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 Fresh oil and oil filter since all that broken turbo parts drain back into the oil pan. I always prelube the turbo before installation. that's just me though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad-ManQ45 Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 Make sure to clean out the oil supply line and drain to/from the turbo - a number of people don't and wind up with another blown turbo... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaTTSuN Posted May 31, 2004 Author Share Posted May 31, 2004 Ok other than changing the oil and cleaning the oil feed line and of course new plugs is there anything else anyone can think of, because oil was going into the intake.

v8dats Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 yeah i would definately check out the oil lines. replace them both theyre cheap. i have seen the drain line blocked solid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
