i was just curious as to why OEM vehicles that come with a turbo (ie the SRT4 or Evo) dont come with an OEM turbo timer yet it seems almost mandatory to use one on a vehicle that has a turbo installed on it (aftermarket).
it recirculates the oil through the turbo to cool it down so you just don't shut it down after being run hard and fucking up the turbo. Why do you think you see so many cars that came fac with turbo's for sale with messed up snails.well i remember looking in my old srt4 manual and seein in the back of the book that they recommend 1 minute for cool down for normal driving and 3 minutes for hard. dont know if thats really nessecary, thats just what the book said.
i don't feel like seaching for what cars come stock with just oil-cooled/lubed turbos, but i know supra's had oil-coolers... i'd think quite a few stock turbo cars that aren't water cooled would at least have oil-coolers...i was under the assumption that if the engine was designed to have a turbo on it, then cooling the oil would be something they had accounted for in the design. i just dont know how...
but a water cooled turbo that makes sense...and must be nice
Dude, if im trying to get my sip on or some action, why would i wait around in my car for an extra minute and a half, thats missing out on like 2 or more shotsPersonally, turbo timers are overrated, are you really that hurried that you cant sit and let the car run for 90 seconds if you've been driving hard? (but I dont have to worry since the wrx is water cooled!)
im not dissagreeing with it, im just saying that most people dont read the manual and it clearly tells you what to do so you dont have to have a turbo timer.it recirculates the oil through the turbo to cool it down so you just don't shut it down after being run hard and fucking up the turbo. Why do you think you see so many cars that came fac with turbo's for sale with messed up snails.
