Not sludgy at all motor is fine the turbo line is blocked

so you're saying it is blocked? seen a few cars with turbo oil starvation problems, usually blocked lines/filters if it has them, it's getting oil in the exhaust after it seizes you mean?

Yeah I mean was running fine then the rear turbos exhaust wheel blew cos of shaft play it was hitting the inside of the turbo housing so I changed the turbo now it's make only 7 psi instea of 14 when I start it up only the front turbo spins freely at idle the rear one is hard to turn

the oil starvation will flog the turbo so the wheel will come into contact with the housing, if you disconnect the oil feed off the rear turbo and start it up you'll prob see no oil come out or the odd drop, you'll have to pull it apart and check and clean everything

If oil feedline blocks then it will seize while drain blocks will cause turbo to leak oil from all seals. It looks like the feed is blocked. Check the line and drill out the oil restrictor in its fittings.

wont be oil drain, its 4x the size of the feed.

feed will be blocked, meaning there is gunk elsewhere in the system most of the time... cause if there wasn't - how can it be blocked?

No I've got it all worked out if the turbo was seizing it wouldn't make boost its only making 0.6 bar so I'd say it's leaking somewhere one of the pipes meant to be 1 bar And now it's smoking like a bitch on boost I compression tested it and my results where this 50 55 75 100 100 125

Im sorry Ash, I've tried to stay out of this thread.

Your compression is wwwwwaaaaaayyyyyy f**ked.

Your motor has most likely sucked 1 of the 3 turbo's you have gone through.

You say you have it all figured out? I dont think you do. You need to go and buy another motor from the wreckers, this time you need to

  • Make sure you have a good fuel pump
  • Make sure you have working turbo's
  • Make sure you compression test the motor prior to dropping it in
  • Go and get a tune (for the love of god)
  • Don't come on here and ask for advice then turn around and say NO I have it all worked out. (very frustrating when you offer advice and it gets thrown in your face!)

So you had the same problem back in July? Or is this a new compression problem?

If it's a NEW compression problem i would suggest

1. Getting a better tune

2. Learning how to drive

3. Selling the car all together

now it's smoking like a bitch on boost I compression tested it and my results where this 50 55 75 100 100 125

after reading some of your posts I have to ask, how exactly did you go about doing the comp test ?

you say the rear turbo is the one that keeps blowing but the front 3 cylinders have the lower comp

    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
    • Nah, I'm not an a-hole, ha ha!   I do like the colour match. Some of the carbon fibre wraps are quite freaking horrible. There's one a local company I know uses, and it looks damn good! Also very very expensive per metre to buy! ha ha ha It might be cheaper to respray the roof than use the good CF Wrap, ha ha!
    • Please noooooooo 😭 As for wrap, no thank you mate, I've seen and used "carbon fibre" wrap before, and for these hard tops, they look soooo good when colour matched Like this >>>
