Car Forum / UK Car Forums / Car Modifications (UK group) / February 2005I love a warm turbo in the morning.
http://www.abbottracing.com/2003/images/historical/b202_testing.jpg I really do want a Saab again. But I love the Celica, so it will have to wait (like my next rear engined Skud).

Best pic wins something I haven't thought of yet :) I think the temp is about 1800 or somthing stupid like that > >> http://www.abbottracing.com/2003/images/historical/b202_testing.jpg > >> [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > I think the temp is about 1800 or somthing stupid like that Bloody great heatshield covering my turbo, can't see bugger all.

Cools down *very* quickly though, so you've gotta be quick to look at it. And DON'T turn the engine off whilst it's that hot - it would result in bad things :) > > http://www.abbottracing.com/2003/images/historical/b202_testing.jpg > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > And DON'T turn the engine off whilst it's that hot - it would result in bad > things :) Oh yeah, particularly on the older Saabs, they had oil/air cooling only, no water coolant was used in the turbo. The Celica uses oil and water, but it still stays bloody hot even when the rest of the engine is stone cold.

Oh you silly bastard. Mind you I did burn myself on the Saab once. The wastegate arm had detached itself after the clip had broken. So I left it an hour and I knew it would still be hot, and even being really careful reaching under the turbo, to reattach the arm, I managed to catch my wrist, then elbow on the exhaust shell. that f.cking hurt.
