    Repair my TE-61 or switch to a new one?

    Thank you Anthony P for your great information. I contacted Bison yesterday. He told me there no way to rebuild my TE-61. I have to go to a modern Garrett Turbo with a lot of modification on my hardware. I take a look at Reeds link. Maybe he can help me with the rebuild or a more stock looking...

    Repair my TE-61 or switch to a new one?

    Took the intake housing apart and it looks like the turbo has more damage than I thought. Here are some photos. On the intake side you can see the gap (axial play) between the housing and the turbine wheel (last two photos).

    Repair my TE-61 or switch to a new one?

    Couldn't wait until Sunday. Old drain ist okay and back in the car. Checked the turbo and axial play ist .042. It has a little radial play on the exhaust side, too. Is there any vendor who sells parts to rebuild it by myself? Or is it better to buy a new? Another question: Does the stock oil...

    Repair my TE-61 or switch to a new one?

    I will check it on Sunday. I still have the old drain in a box. I will check its condition. If it is good, I will use it again. Otherwise I buy a new one. The other thing is the axial play of the turbine. Looks not good for me. Will check it, too. If it is bad should I rebuilt it or buy a new...

    Repair my TE-61 or switch to a new one?

    Hello Anthony, Thanks for your response. I use a rubber hose with fittings for oil return. I bought it from GBodyparts some years ago. I saw the Bisons video some days ago and I will check the return. The engine was rebuilt less than 2500 miles ago. I hope and think everything is okay with the...

    Repair my TE-61 or switch to a new one?

    Hello, I own a 86 GN with some modification and live in Germany. I have a TE-61 which starts with blue smoke right after starting the hot engine. I checked the turbine and it has no radial play. It drive smooth this way. But it has axial play around 0,08". Seems to be to much. What do you think...

    Heater blower doesn't run

    Hello from Germany! I own a 86 GN with digital dash and digital AC control unit. In winter I put a new AC compressor into the car, because it was very noisy. Now I want to refill the system, but my heater doesn't run. I checked it with direct 12V from the battery and it works. It seems to be...

    Engine runs very rich

    Set fuel pressure on 38 lbs and use Scanmaster for tune up. How much miles should I get with the 60lbs injector by proper tuning?

    Engine runs very rich

    Hi, only for understanding and maybe I made a mistake when I made the tune up of the engine. My engine is allways running very rich whether I use close or open loop. Performance is okay, but I am not shure it could be more if it would be running leaner. What was done on the engine, you see in...
