Mv35 Turbo Dead

[ONCE-NA]

So the turbo in my M35 Stagea is dead at 78k, who here has taken one out without dropping the motor, and what do I need to look out for. Aparently you can just lower the hearbox a bit, do i need to disconnect anything else before tilting the motor back?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

no doubt has done a bit more than that.

Where do you live? There are very skilled people who can help you out in Melb and Syd.

You don't need the motor out but you do need a good variety of tools.

Your first tool is the search function...

+1; and a bit of patience.

Finished mine only a week or so ago, how mechanically inclined are you? Do you have access to a hoist?

Sounds like you got this on copy and paste

[bigkevracer]

Good one.

But this has been covered over and over again. In fact I remember it popping up again recently in the thread where Brad discussed dropping his engine to do his, and Scotty talking about his easier way.

Not hard to use a search function - it'll give you an idea then you can ask further questions to clarify...

[ONCE-NA]

Yeah search function wasnt really returning the results I wanted, all stuff like, "This guy has done it - use the search function" Lol

[ONCE-NA]

Okay got a bit more info, wasnt using the right search key words, or the correct order or something, was hoping for pics of the difficult bits, sounds like its the heat shield bolts though.....

You been around that long Stag250, 2007? I thought Cam's was the first to blow.

What ended up happening mate?

[iamhe77]

Mine let go in 2007 as well. I think it was only a matter of weeks before STAG250's. Winter sometime (I remember freezing my arse off at RE while it was on the dyno.

Mmm, seems there are quite a few failing this winter too, conspiracy?

Think you might have it wrong Alex, my thrusts are worn. Did an inspection on the w/end & my axial play is in the region of 0.020 - 0.030'' by feel!

And you were following close behind Alex just like I was.

Coincidence?

2 strikes on the door!

check your compressor wheel for evidence of my over-run fuel smoke! Maybe thats what killed it! If so, Iains is bound to die shortly, but under warranty
