Maifold/Turbo flange seal, T2

Postby steveatyork » Mon May 21, 2007 7:47 pm

A problem :twisted: Firstly as anyone used high temp silicon sealent on the manifold/turbo flange? just a bit reluctant using any sealent before the turbo, its all bolted up and running, but there is a slight leak, a gasket is fitted, i was just having a look on the RV8 forum and a couple of lads are using it on there turbo rv8 conversions, Any suggestions.

2nd prob, the turbosmart boost controller, not a real prob at the mo :cry: but it isnt doing anything :cry: so i presume i have it hooked up wrong :roll: the instructions on the turbosmart www dont really relate to the T2 set-up using a external wastgate i.e. vacume take off on the T2 throttle-body?

Suppose ill have to get a move on with it & try and get it ready for the French car show :roll:

Things to do as well as trying to put some miles on the RX7 to run it in before remap and some mods on the TR :twisted:

CC rad to get fitted
Pump and hoses to fit
Sort the manifold/turbo leak
MOT---Tomorrow
Over to Motoscope for setting up and map the water inj (MF2 controller)

Plus try to get on with some work and keep the wife happy :D

Exhaust paste? Yes. Just be sparing and try and lay it so it gunges OUT rather than IN when bolting up.

I had a leak between my turbo and the waste gate a while ago and used sum gum-gum exhaust paste to tray and seal it up prior to bolting the 2 together again.

When I took the waste gate off again about a month later, all of the putty had gone, I guess the pressure has blown it away. It does go very hard after a while and starts to break up.
