car is using up oil

[rsnissan]

and that will be why ford couldnt be arsed to carry on the YB on after the new emission regs came out

[Ryan81]

yeah its just my turbo that need rebuit , engine is ok , the garage i took it to actually done shit loads of work on it before , it has green injectors, st 3 chip , actuator , used to have a bigger turbo , but was taken off and replaced with the std BT on escos , so £600 for the turbo to get sent away and rebuilt or if i can source one myself.....easier just to let garge sort it out

Bet thats a relief !! You going for a hybrid so it'll last a bit longer ?

phone around i got quoted £250 for a rebuild with 360 deg brg just means you have to take the torbo off and fit it yourself

Hybrid turbo could mean anything but in simple terms I think it refers to having a 360 degree bearing installed as standard ones come with a 300 degree one (I think)

[Chris1974]

A Hybrid is anything that isn't standard, You fit parts from different turbo's to get the best mix of parts for your chosen BHP. It might be worth looking into if you plan to up the boost. It would be a good idea to talk to the folks who are doing the rebuild to see what they recommend for the setup of the car.

I'm sure the standard turbo comes with a 270 bearing, The 360 offers better support to the shaft.

[Ben Purnell]

I knew it was less than 360, I don't understand it all personally

[GARY F]

I wouldn't rule out rings, but most likely to be your turbo.

hey , i think my car has been using up quite a bit of oil ......

whats the main reacon for this ?

take plugs out after driving the car and see it the top of the pistons are wet on some cilinders...if so for sure are vlv stems...it could be only slightly oil on the top of piston but enough for burning oil also....when turbo is using oil you could see it on idle when the car is hot...then oil press drops and turbo shaft drops down and then the oil is passing trough the rings on the exhaust part of the turbo shaft and you will see lots of smoke....hapens to me....hope it helps.....btw do also comp test of each cyl....
