turbo for carby scorpion

[ardyrr]

one of my scorpions has a 4g54 with a turbo and it is leaking oil out of the exhaust can i fit a turbo from an injected motor or are they different somehow,thanks

Before you swap the turbo, when you say it's leaking out the exhaust - what are the symptoms? Clouds of smoke? If the turbo seals are cactus you will get a lot of smoke.

What kind of turbo is on it now? Any markings on it?

Basically, any turbo will work as long as it fits.

If the car runs a suck-through carby setup (which sigma turbo had) the turbo you replace yours with will need a carbon seal in the turbo.

If its a blow through setup (where the turbo forces the air through the carby) you wont need the seal.

4g54 scorp would be a t03 maybe t04 flange
me thinks.

starion turbo is (YES) differant.

it is leaking from the oil seal as i put a new seal inside but it was to worn to make much difference.My turbo is a suck through from a sigma turbo but i replaced the original with a t04 because the t35 was flogged out ,what will happen if i put a injection turbo on it,will it leak petrol?if not where can i get a carby turbo from?

I have 4 spare t03s high flowed/rear wheels cut back.
new carbon seals (carbie setup)(sigma)
and 2 spare t04s (carbie setup)(yep suck through)
all have less than 5000K`s on them and an injection
setup wont help your smokie turbo
shoot me a PM

funny thing that` I started with sigma/gallant/tritons and
soon turboed them all (SOUNDS GOOD RIGHT ???)
then I started breaking them (gotta get some spares)
and Im still locked into this Visious circle.
