Join us on his turbo vlog to find out what\u2019s going on here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It all started when our friend\u00a0noticed white smoke and caught a whiff of straight oil\u00a0while driving his turbocharged car\u00a0days ago. It seems like the car is smoking with oil coming out of the exhaust, and it is leaning out when he eases into the gas. He checked the bearing and shaft in his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpeedingrods.com\/product\/gt3076r-gt3037-audi-vw-opel-t3-flange-water-cooled-500hp-anti-surge-all-6-8-cyl-universal-turbo-turbocharger.html?tracking=blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><u>Maxpeedingrods standard turbo<\/u><\/a>\u00a0and didn&#8217;t find anything wrong. So he speculated that all of this was because the turbo was on its way out. No worry, let\u2019s do the upgrade then!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first step is to remove the old turbo, which isn&#8217;t very difficult, only that\u00a0the turbo is tight within the engine bay.\u00a0Due to the hardware damage caused by the turbo heat,\u00a0he plans to use\u00a0fresh bolts and anti-seize\u00a0on the new turbo, making it easier to mount it on the manifold. He also emphasizes that it will make future repairs easier. He then unboxed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpeedingrods.com\/product\/upgrade-gt3037-gt30-500hp-t382-ar-74-trim-turbine-turbocharger-water-oil.html?tracking=blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><u>Maxpeedingrods\u2019\u00a0upgraded street turbo<\/u><\/a>. The shiny golden compressor wheel is made of forged billet CNC machined aluminum. And this street performance turbo can boost up to 500 HP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alright, now all the things to do is to clock Maxpeedingrods\u2019&nbsp;upgraded street turbo&nbsp;exactly the way the old one is. He then went to&nbsp;a modification shop to install&nbsp;the new turbo&nbsp;and get the oil return fabbed up for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the process of connecting the new turbo&nbsp;to the manifold, there was another issue. The bolt holes on the manifold had rust and corrosion, and there were no threads left in the holes. So, he tapped out three of the bolt holes to a thread specification of 10 by 1.5 mm. Another hole needed to be tapped out to a slightly larger size, which is 12 by 1.5 mm. At the same time, the exhaust hole on the turbo needed to be enlarged to the corresponding size.&nbsp;So if your turbo is facing the same problem, grab some tools and hopefully, it can be repaired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then he installed\u00a0a\u00a0new coolant\u00a0system\u00a0and started a test running, but the installed return line was a bit long, about half an\u00a0inch longer than necessary. This was the only concern he had. So, before driving the car too much, he decided not to do so until he could take it to the modification shop and have a professional confirm whether the line needed to be redone. However, apart from this issue, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpeedingrods.com\/product\/upgrade-gt3037-gt30-500hp-t382-ar-74-trim-turbine-turbocharger-water-oil.html?tracking=blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><u>Maxpeedingrods\u2019\u00a0upgraded street\u00a0turbo<\/u><\/a>\u00a0seemed to be in good condition. The manifold turns brown color and the engine emits a pleasing roar during the test running. In the subsequent road test, the exhaust is no longer smoking, and there is no more oil leakage. Shifting gears is very smooth, and the lean-out issue has also been resolved. You can see it\u2019s a lovely ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nothing lasts forever, as our friend said, but we hope that Maxpeedingrods\u2019&nbsp;turbo can accompany you on a longer journey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This video is presented by @DrivenFilmsPhotography, an avid car enthusiast deeply passionate about tinkering and fine-tuning vehicles.&nbsp;In this video, his Honda CB7 seems to be experiencing some issues, and he plans to fix them.
