View Full Version : VID: turbo spinning at idle yamaha16bw 03-19-2007, 03:23 AM A buddy of mine emailed me this link. You turbo guys have to see it! Its a subie but just watch how long it spins once he shuts it off. http://s39.photobucket.com/albums/e181/asabater/?action=view¤t=albertdspics.flv Yanki01 03-19-2007, 04:00 AM is that good or bad? Butane 03-19-2007, 04:21 AM its good. I've seen longer. The turbo i saw had ceramic everything lol BuddhasTC 03-19-2007, 05:41 AM that's normal...that's why after running your car with turbo, it's a good idea to let it idle for at least a minute or... get a turbo timer and it allows the turbo to slow down during idle before the car shuts off Neothin 03-19-2007, 05:51 AM the longer it spins, the better. more time spinning means that there's less friction, which makes it spool up faster.

De16 03-19-2007, 06:47 AM normal; even with n/a cars you should let it idle for 1minute to ge tehe oil out so yeah not just for turbos. yamaha16bw 03-19-2007, 02:05 PM I know its normal but ive never seen it. I just thought it was cool.

Choke the turbo?? I think you are confused with oil coking in the turbo which won't happen if you using synthetic oil... BuddhasTC is right, the turbo will continue to heat up for a while after the car is shut off, since no oil is flowing through it, so by allowing it to idle that lets the turbo dissipate some of the heat into the oil before it shuts off. insanetc 03-19-2007, 05:20 PM holly crap batman that sounds so mean i gotta get my buddy's sti to sound like that now it just sounds like a freakin jet...nice though Butane 03-19-2007, 05:44 PM that's normal...that's why after running your car with turbo, it's a good idea to let it idle for at least a minute or... get a turbo timer and it allows the turbo to slow down during idle before the car shuts off nah, its to allow the oil to get out of there, so the oil does stay in there and choke the turbo.

Avoiding coking is to allow the turbo to cool down.... |
