[Supras] Possible or not? update

[Harley]

So.... I feel like a dumb ass.... I got board and tired of driving a 1.3 honda, so I took some time and went and looked at my car. Turns out the turbo isn't blown. It's getting there as there is some movement, but its not there yet. I looked closely at it with a flashlight and noticed that the turbo practicly seperated from the manifold. I went through and tightened all the bolts which were alot. The studs are new as they were done at the shop about 2 months ago when i got the head done. The nuts however are rusted and very lose. It looks like it blew the turbo to manifold gasket. Thought the turbo was going out cuz i heard a clicking noise... that went away, (thinking it could have been a piece of gasket in the turbo). Also thought the manifold was cracked turns out its burnt oil in the corner of the manifold right under the CPS (Thats another problem... CPS is leaking externally). So the car is drivable at the moment. I'm taking it easy until I can get the gaskets. Its annoying as hell with the exhaust leak... but I'll live for now. I have hardly any boost.... i think the max i have recieved so far with the leak is about 7 or so on the highway.

    Anywayz... Thanks all for the info.

  Hey Harley,
  I have a turbo that you could send out to get rebuilt so that your car won't be down so long.  I was going to use it but, I will be going with a full ball bearing turbo later.  It is a used ct-26, think VERY used.  It needs a rebuild as the shaft wiggles a bit.  I would take $150 plus shipping if you are interested.
