I have a 2 stage turbo in a 93 integra (1800 Vtec). However, the second turbo no longer works instead all I get is a weird whistling sound (not the same as when spooling - its much louder and its a horrible sound). The first turbo works fine. I noticed a bit of fluid of some description around one of the turbos and am wondering if theres m,aybe a leak somewhere or something? I dont know much about turbos so any help would be great if anyone knows what could be wrong??

 

LOL

 

I have no idea what you're talking about...pics might help

 

was the 93 teg a b18 vtec? i thought it was a b17. unless its swapped. but anyway, what the hell are you talking about? are you trying to tell us that you have a twin turbo gsr? lol. i find that hard to believe. i agree with Schister66, maybe you should post some pics so we can all be in awe! lol.

 

this does sound like but ive seen twin turbo on a gsr before, and a b16 but i have no clue when he says 1800 vtec?? but this sounds like bs

 

maybe he thinks the bov is a turbo

*edit
point it out setup should be something similiar to this

 

maybe he means 1800 rpm is when vtec kicks in...i worked with a dude who had a type r crx and the vtec was set at 1000 so you were in vtec at all times ( thats what he said )

personally i think its redonkuluss to have vtec set at that rpm if at all possible

 

When you say the first turbo, are you talking about the compressor and the second turbo is the turbine? Or is it an actual twin turbo setup?

 

in for pix

 

 

1.8L=1800 cc's?

 

Pics would help alot

 

Ok its a b18. Its Vtec. Its twin turbo. The second turbo isnt working. Anyone got a helpful answer???? If theres any difference, I'm from New Zealand and its a Honda (not Acura) although I see no difference except the badge and drivers side.

post pics of your "twin turbo"

no matter that it's rhd or the badge is different ( although you could do the inverse of what jdm ricers do over here and put an A badge on it)

 

If it helps, for those of you with narrow minds, just imagine that its a car that comes out in twin turbo. Forget that its an integra. Its irrelevant. Heck i'll even do the imagining for you.... lets say it's a 93' twin turbo subaru legacy.... now any helpful answers???? (and saying that im in the wrong forum is not helpful cos remember, were just using our imagination here, it is still actually an integra)

i think you're using your imagination in thinking you have a twin turbo inline 4

Or you just dont have a clue what could be wrong maybe? At the end of the day I'm not going to waste my time making up a story. Who gives a s$%t if I've got a twin turbo or not?! I just want some help cos I know next too nothing about them. If no one wants to help then thats fine, I will take it a mechanic. I just thought someone might be helpful and give me some hints so I could maybe do it myself. Thats what I thought this forum was all about. Apparantly I was wrong.

 

is there oil around the turbo?? maybe its leaking from the oil feed line??? maybe second turbo is jacked up why dont you take it apart and inspect it?, pics wud help man to see how its set up and maybe show us the leak...

EDIT: youd get more help in the FI section

 

this is why he won't do it:

prove me wrong and i'll admit my error in judgement

again, i'm not saying it can't/hasn't been done, but this isn't something you see evryday

There is a fluid around the turbo which seems to be oil. So you think its probably just a leak? Will try get some pics up later. Cheers for the help.

 

make sure oil feed line is tight and doesnt leak anymore, then go from there, make sure all ur vacum hoses are connected right or hasnt fallen off, check the second turbos shaft for play, it shud have a lil play but if its alot of shaft play its time for a rebuild for the turbo
