my turbo was glowing red after a race, all i have a is rb full exhaust,intake, is that ok, or bad , and its a 1988 tii

 

its normal... mine used to glow like crazy!

 

thanks

 

I spent 3 mondays on an internal combustion engine lab for one of my classes. We noticed the turbo and the exhaust manifold glowing bright orange. We freaked and hit the emergency stop. Then we found out it was normal. The T.A.'s (teacher-assistants) grumbled about how the emergency stop was bad for the engine. It always glowed, we just didn't notice til it got bright.

 

that's why the cast iron tends to crack, rotaries abuse the hell out of turbos and exhaust systems in general but it is perfectly normal.

 

awww yea

 

Dude. You can't run full intake and exhaust without other mods..

You might be glowing mad-red because of not having any fuel mods.

 

Get Rtek and a fuel pump.

 

Yeah, I bet you're running super lean with just those mods, which will cause it to get even hotter than normal.

 

eh, just another engine to rebuild. keeps me in business.

 

Where's the FCD?

 

if its glowing red, let the car idle for a few minutes before turning it off. it lets oil and coolant circulate through the turbo more while it isnt working hard so it can cool down.

 

or for those who are lazy/forgetful.... get a turbo timer! then youll never have to worry! i set mine for 2 minutes, unless im driving the crap out of it, them ill set it for 3 minutes... well worth the money if you want long turbo life!

 

i got a turbo timer and a fcd and 255 fuel pump,

 

like we said.. its perfecly normal... even bone stock t2's glow if pushed hard

 

and small street port

 

and all you have for fuel is a walbro pump? piggybacks? larger injectors?

 

I've got a free turbo timer...

Its called patience.

 

I Put 680cc Injecters And Fpr, The Car Ran Like **** Way To Rich, Put The Fpr At 40psi.still Same **** Gets Better When I Drop The Psi Of The Fpr, But Still Ran Like ****.

 

40psi is a bit high at idle and without a way to lean out those larger injectors there's not much you can do about it.
