vauxhall cavalier 4x4 turbo

[bigmitch]

more like he was covering the fact its knackered, no wonder he swapped it for a vectra GSi.

That's what I was thinking, but if the bodys fine whats a engine rebuild

About £2000

They are not cheap cars.I have rebuild mine twice. £2000 if he replaced the engine, but this been steven he probably didn't dip it right

erm yes i did thanks and its stephen not steven

had call from second last owner
he had put new turbo on it 5-6ms ago he cut pipe as it was poping off all time so he was going to do mod ads done he thinks pipe beneth turbo might need replaced if thats whats leeking cause of pressure when i conneted pipe back up might have caused it to leek
he rebuilt head and bottom end as well be4 he sold it WOMEN i got it from

and turns out my car is meant to have preface lift lights on it as its a 1993 just on turn of change plus it had cloth seats in it he bought turbo leather in it hence why there no wires for heated seats
so now i will be on hunt for wires for heated seats

he also said its always blown hot air threw vents he thinks pipes are mixt up or 1 not coneted so dash will be getting stript back soon as well

so weekend plans will be full engine flush and hopefully oil and fliter change and hopefully buy ads catcher tank as well

Thats not right, ALL turbo's were facelifts, only the earlier gsi's were preface. So at some point along the line the headligts have been changed , probably due to a light front end accident and they were the only ones he could get at the time.

As for the wires for the heated seats, all turbos should have the wiring there somewhere, have alook under the carpet see if its tucked away. Not sure if the clotch seats were heated or not, never had them.

[gsi pie]

only earlier gsi's were preface???

uum all GSI's were preface lift, ive never ever seen a gsi with face lift lights fitted

but as dans say all the cav turbo's were facelift to match the grill dude

[TurboDan]

I meant earlier as in the gsi was made before the turbos, didnt mean that there was an early and late gsi as i know there isnt.

Lets get some right stephen there is no f"£king way that engine would run right with that much oil in it with out
either shaking its self to death due the crank being in the oil or it was to cover for a leak which you would of noticed
there would of be aleast 1.5 litres to much oil in there if the amout on the dipstick was right .
Bud were here to help but if you wont listen whats the point of asking

[gsi pie]

[TurboDan]

Fuk sake steven its not takin the piss its called "Banter". Get a grip, nobodys really that arsed at all, were trying to HELP. If you don't want to listen or can't take criticism then you really shouldnt be on any forums as thats what there all about.

I'd grow up or get off the site.

[bigmitch]

When shes up the ramp check the all the oil seals bud cause there something not right here cause of the pressure that amount of oil would of cause
the turbo seals to go and god nows what with the engine. Take the plugs out and check see what con there are, then check if oil water mixed
Does it smoke on startup, what colour is it if it does.
I wasn't ripping the p!"s stephen but you asked we answered

[TurboDan]

Yeah i'd also be checking all oil seals/pipes. And as said what coulor is the smoke?

[TurboSteven77]

turbo dan mitch not talking about you two


its not garage ramps its car ramps
main thing i am going to do is ads mod and get new pipeing from autovaux

bigmitch it had full topend build and bottom end build 7ms ago have recites to prove it
looks like busy sunday/monday in my garage by looks of it obnly 25 days to get it ship shape

[TurboSteven77]

Yeah i'd also be checking all oil seals/pipes. And as said what coulor is the smoke?

its just smoke from oil burning onto down pipe

[TurboDan]

Put a video up of it running as it is now under the bonnet and of the exhaust smoke whilst someone is reving it abit.

Forget when it was registered the model year used to start before the previous year ran out. Model year is determined by the chassis no. 87N would be 92, 87P would be 93. 93 MY has facelift, 92 MY is pre.

[bigmitch]

Yeah i'd also be checking all oil seals/pipes. And as said what coulor is the smoke?

It is possible it is just being over filled but get it drained and use a good oil. Were is the oil leaking from, the cam gasket or turbo
Does it smoke from the exhaust on start if it doesn't then you being very lucky

[Stoater85]

'erm yes i did thanks and its stephen not steven''

I think you'll find it's TURBO Stephen
