rallyruss Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 So the turbo on the rx is blowing lots of oil into the intake and the shaft is slopy it still spools up. at the rally X last weekend it was blowing lots of smoke as it ran around the track. here is the delima. I could go looking for another stock turbo. not to dificult espically since the car will be up for sale soon. or I could try to upgrade to either a WRX turbo $$$ or do the legacy turbo hybrid thing that I have heard of. I understand there would be at least a new up pipe involved with the WRX turbo and thats not a problem I can fabricate something there. does any one have some spare turbo stuff around? sugetions for a low budget? (under 200 bones). :cornfuzz: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonOfScio Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 you could do the legacy turbo. or buy the turbo out of the turbo XT in the town I live in. (scio) he'd sell it for like, $50 or $75 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallyruss Posted November 2, 2003 Author Share Posted November 2, 2003 ok I am going to the J/Y now to see what I can see. hope to see a legacy turbo:D if not a regular turbo will have to do.:eh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallyruss Posted November 2, 2003 Author Share Posted November 2, 2003 ok I grabed one from the junk yard and its just as sloppy as my old one:madder: as well as an intercooler that will not fit off a probe. does any one know where to get them rebuilt at a reasonable price? or have legacy turbo parts????

JonOfScio Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 dude, there's a JY with a perfectly good turbo in my town (Scio, OR) and he'd let it go pretty cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallyruss Posted November 3, 2003 Author Share Posted November 3, 2003 I appreciate the offer, but I am sure the trouble to get that turbo from off that car and then down here to me would not be an inexpensive proposition. if I were a local up there I would take you up on that one. Ok I guess I want to get crazy with a bigger turbo too thank you , its the best thing I have got back so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormTrooper Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 sucks about the bunk score at the boneyard. there's a couple EA82 turbo's at moss landing now, and one Legacy Turb, intact still. Plus that XT that I mutilated still has a clean looking spider intake on it:brow: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
