Watching this, with both laying side by side- brought back a funny-but-not-so-funny memory: guy was "changing" turbo (not upgrade) and after a few beers and shots with his "Garage Buddies" ended up stupidly re installing the *same* seized unit again.
Happened to a "buddy" of yours, I gotcha ;-)
Joe Milton Not me. Never turbo'd, don't drink.
Stay thirsty my friends
I did that last week with my sunroof gasket
I thought teaching my daughter to drive a stick and change a tire was accomplishment.
@Joseph Gross jack up the car than its 5 nuts.... i could do that at 10 years old
Joseph Gross I don’t understand how people don’t know how to change a tire. I knew how before I ever saw anyone do it, common sense really. If you know how to screw a bottle cap on and of you can change a tire.
Never seen an engine dismantled and reassembled with such clean hands, clean engine compartment without one broken nail or even a smudge on that a nice shirt and top outfit.
A very good video, all be it, staged to look like she did all the work! But well done, none the less!
Just pulled my turbo on my '09 MS3 today following your guide. Clean tutorial and straight to the point. Thanks!
Wow, that was one of the best how-to videos I've seen in a long time! I'm very impressed by the high quality video shots, and the rigorous documentation of all torque values and tools used. I really liked the reassembly montage as well. Amazing (scary) keeping track off all the parts, hoses, connectors it takes to access the turbo.
the MZR engine is such a pain in the ass to work on. The harness is a nightmare. I love my speed 3 but god damn!
I have insane amounts of respect for this lady. That is keeper of a wife if I've ever seen one. Big props!
Best video yet for Mazda turbo replacement. Great job.
Wow, good on you for replacing your own turbo! On the only turbocharged car I had (Shelby GLHS) it was easier to remove the head and exhaust manifold/turbo assembly together as a unit, and it was a PITA, as you can imagine.
I can't get over how clean the engine bay is in your car too. I wish I could keep mine that clean. Great vid!
Wow. That is quite an involved strip down for the turbo replacement. Gives me an idea of what's involved should the Audi go bad. Thanks for the super helpful and detailed video!
I just replaced my first turbo today following your video on my pu, thank you for the detailed instructions and editing
Yes great video and well done to you for doing this job.
One question.
I have been working on cars / vans / HGV's since the 1970's and in all my years I have Never worked on a car and not ever gotten away without getting covered in... yuk, oil, crud.
You say the turbo sized but dam... that is the cleanest turbo and cars engine bay i have ever seen.
Keep up the good work.
True.
Everything follows up, I watched this video twice when I installed mine and is awesome!
Why is everything so dam clean?
the car is basically brand new. has like 50k something miles as mentioned before
@@meeks726 but they usually don't look that clean.
Get a decent paint brush and brush down your motor when you change your oil and wipe it down afterwards. Neglecting to clean your motor can cause other problems with rust etc.
@@holdshiftt2run308 ikr.. The 'car repair guys' videos r a bit more realistic when it comes to filth and grunge with Mazda. I think that's the name of the channel.... You'll know when the speaker sounds like a cross between Jean Claude Van Damme and Kermit the Frog
@@TSloanorthologisticslab i doubt that cleaning your engine of oil will protect your engine from rust, i think its a contrary result, washing it a lot will get it rusted
thanks a lot for uploading this! I got 08 mazda cx7 and the turbo went out on it, and your video is gonna be the same guide for my car!
great video, I’ve owned my mazdaspeed6 for a couple weeks now, stock ko4 has seen better days and is smoking on most starts and cool downs, I am swapping a bnr s3 way quicker than I imagined. I haven’t been able to find any helpful videos in the mazdaspeed platform and this was by far the best. kudos to you for being a girl and owning a speed👍🏻
I envy how you're able to work on this car without getting dirty! Excellent video as always.
I think its imposible
Wow I can't believe you did that yourselves....Damn good video! Thanks for sharing!
I just blew up the turbo in my Hyundai i30 Diesel, and halfway through getting the old one out, I thought I should go check a youtube video, as it seemed so hard, and difficult to get to. But after watching this video, mine is just a walk in the park! I think I should just get back to it and stop whingeing, and maybe look for a new girlfriend! Well done girl, a great video, and you've put me back on track!
Well done on the install and editing video. Best video I've found on the Mazda turbo.
Great job dear! So good to see a lady getting down to some serious business. Awesome💪👍
am glad I found your channel I got a ms3 as well, now I know how to get stuff done by myself thanks for this :D
Wow your engine bay is so clean kudos!
you are awesome! I'm being changed 850 for a recon and they have had it just over 3 weeks....
Almost 100k on my 2012 and my turbo just went out. This was a great find, thanks!
very nice detailed videos. Keep them coming.
Awesome video! I'm in the process of doing exhaust manifold because I have a leak, not sure if it's the manifold gasket or the manifold itself but those 4 bolts from the manifold to the turbo were loose, i tightened them and it's not as bad as before but still there and I can still notice it. They were easy to get off and here you are saying they're super tight. Then when I went to torque them down 45-50 ft-lb, I was scared I was going to snap them so I'm not sure if its that that's loose and thats why I have a leak or if it actually is the manifold/gasket. Any advice/input on this would be great! I love watch your guy's videos, always super informative and easy to follow!
What band was that playing at the end of the video? Great music! I've been learning a lot from your channel as I'm a new MS3 owner, thank you and keep up the Fantastic Work!
Great video. I found it looking for any help I could find with replacing the turbo in my 2008 CX-7 which failed yesterday. With our cars both being Mazda's do you think the procedure is pretty similar? Also, did you use a maintenance manual and if so which one? Also, about how long did it take to do the work?
My girlfriend drives a 10 mazdaspeed3 and I drive a 07 mazdaspeed6. She pushed her speed crazy and I found this video very helpful in the future when she blow up her turbo.
Just happened yesterday thanks for this!!! 👌👌👌
Thanks heaps for this video
Just doing my Cx7 turbo
And the video is very helpful.
잘보고 갑니다..차 다이 실력이 대단하십니다..
A very well organized video and you did a good job explaining the process.
Do you know? I find watching these videos on cars is much more informative and much easier to understand! Plus the presenter is good on the eye also, bonus.
sucks that you had to do it cause the turbo seized :/ but at the same time, (dunno about anyone else) but I found this video SUPER helpful, as I was thinking of upgrading the turbo on my speed in the future. At least now I know how :) so thanks for the video!
Amazing work!!!
I Just wanna say, Good Job to you and Steve
Hi Ally!... Love from Indonesia !
Good job and good video. Thanks for the upload.
Fantastic! Now to attempt this on my rusty bolts :( great video how many hours did it take you?
This was a huge help. I just ordered a new turbo and DP b/c my stock K04 (for an '07) is smoking and burning a ton of oil. Would love to save $1500 and not pay my dealer to do it.
Wow I really Love this girl !!
That vacuum hose in the back that you removed when taking the intake off (one near the turbo). Where does that go to? Thank you.
Love my BNR S3. 385/380 @ the wheels when on the E28 tune, in good weather. And it's still very responsive. Actually, the lack of K04 "insta-spool" helps get the power down even better as well. S3 is just about perfect for stock block, IMHO. S4 or bigger if you're going to build, for sure.
+Numinous Impressive numbers, looking forward to an S3. And yes the instant spool of the K04 can make driving a bit scary sometimes. One second your just having a good time then suddenly your torque steering towards a wall.
when you took out the turbo. did u take it out from the intake side? or did u take it out through the exhaust side?
So helpful, thank you!
I do wish you guys went a bit more into depth about how to remove the nuts. Most of mine were completely locked and many of them stripped! It took me three weekends to finish because of multiple road blocks. In the end, I wish I spent the 800 dollars for a professional
Excellent video, using this video I was trying to replace the turbo in a Mazda CX7, I bougth a new turbo in Ebay, i did all the upper disassembly but when I lift the car and I try to start the lower dismantling my surprise was that the access to the turbo was impossible, I guess the 4x4 transmission is bigger that the Mazdaspeed3, so in a CX7 it's necessary to take out the engine to replace the turbo :(
my 2010 speed3 is 6 years old never had a problem with the turbo. thank god
+greddy1010 well, k04 turbo problems on Speed3`s are not uncommon. However, there are a lot of them, pulling strong, without any problems. Sadly, mine died on my last year, even though the car was stock. Changed mine to an BNR S1, hope this one last a lifetime ;)
Good luck with your Mazdaspeed. Cheers.
nice work
..thats why i love neon srt4 and cobalts ss tubros, soooo easy
Great job ally, how on earth do you stay so clean??? Good video,,, who says ladies can't be mechanic's, very well done, more power to you.
What intercooler you're using? Looks great !!
Is there a break in period when you put in a new oem ko4 turbo??
I can’t seem to find my answer anywhere, it’s a he said she said thing.
OMG thank you so much for this video. About how long did this take? I'll be using this video for a guide to replace my turbo here in the next few weeks, hopefully I'll have some help. Pretty sure my turbo is going out. Its been smoking under hard pulls for a while now. And I just noticed a weird noise under hard acceleration that sounds something like turbo whistle and really weird rattling sound. I'm going to do some inspecting before I jump right into replacing the turbo to make sure its the turbo and not something else like the timing chain or AC compressor, but I'm almost positive its the turbo.
That was a great video
Nice job
Where there any symptoms from the turbo seizing? Also was there noticeable shaft play?
What a pain in the ass of a job.
How did you know your turbo was messed up? I don’t have a boost gauge but I’ve felt a loss in power recently and I think my turbo is messed up as well. It still kicks on but it sounds really weak and it sounds different all of a sudden. Any advice would help! I just don’t want to replace the turbo if I don’t have to, thanks!
👍 great job. A husbands dream wife. Now I just need to teach my wife about cars- especially my Golf R. Cheers
Thank you
Another quick question....if you have car lifter to rise the car....will it be easier to do the work from the chassis compare to doing it from the top???
How long did it take all together 3-4hours including putting back together?
Belle, when you hold a turbine in your hands, there is some kind of dissonance in my engineering brain. You are such a beautiful, nice and clever girl! I respect! :)
heheheh i love how hard it is or rather how long this takes just to get a Turbo off and put a new one on! was so simple :D
Thank You
Holy crap they make O2 sensor sockets? That is awesome! haha
+Matthew Maranan Yup. This one was made by Tekton and cost around $12.
+everythingdiy Awesome! Tekton is pretty legit, I have a set of punches by them and they are awesome.
+everythingdiy (very nice job with your videos) ...a flare nut wrench can work also .. all these specialty sockets & wrenches can only apply limited torque, since they are split or relieved to allow the O2 wire to pass through ... PB Wrench may help, but my experience is, get the torch out, heat it up real good, then you stand a chance of getting it loose by dead blow hammering on one of these special wrenches. If you reuse the O2 sensor, expect to have to replace the metal gasket (they corrode from heat / humidity and can disintegrate when loosening the sensor).
christ u gotta pretty much dismantle the entire engine compartment to do this.. Another win for brilliant engineering.
Is there a difference between turbo brands? Does quality effect on speed for example?
Can I clock my turbo for under-route piping kit like this ? Without taking out downpipe ?
Where did you buy your used oem turbo?
me with my speed6 turbo swap, the most dirty hands ever!..sweating profusely, cursing like a drunken sailor, inability to find the proper tools, *takes long break*, comes back, everything somehow goes perfectly fine and mission is accomplished.
J 18L did you have trouble underneath the turbo because of the transfer case?
My transfer case is a sore pain in my a$$. Such a big glob of metal preventing me from getting to bolts underneath the car
Right, I wish that I could find cars to work on where you have someone to loosen the very tight bolts or the bolts and/or sensors which are not going to come lose. This engine is very clean, no oil residue, no real rust or oxidation on the bolts.
The turbines on the speed 3s are garbage. The are under designed and run very close on the exhaust side to around 700F at operating temp. They went cheap on the exhaust side or turbine side. Maybe, they figured that the water cooling would help.
Let one of these get some miles on it, go through a number of heating and cooling cycles and then I want to see a turbocharger come out of a speed 3 like this.
Half the time you have to cut the body of the O2 sensor off and use a long pry bar along with a fully walled 22mm or 7/8" socket to get the O2 sensor out. You cannot use a torch to heat the mounting boss becasue of the heat shields being in the way.
Most people would just take the hood off as it makes things go a lot quicker, but each to their own.
Kudos!
You should make a video like this for every part on every vehicle ever.
would this be the same way to change out a turbo seal??
How long did the whole process take you
is that socket 3/8 for the o2 sensor
You are amazing unbelievable and most inspiring ....!!! My God 😮😭😭
I simply can not believe it. God bless you really . VOW 😮👍👍👍👏👏👏
I am glad i found this video and got to know such skilled and amazing lady who gives me courage to do things far simpler than this job. Thank you so very much 😄🙏🙏
Where did you bought your used turbo?
Where do u get the turbo? Ebay or do you think that buy a remanufacturade its a good idea its a oem
Where did you find a lightly used turbo for $100 (if I heard that right)?? Thing looks brand new.. great videos!
Was the turbo you bought rebuilt?
I want to swap out the turbo engine altogether to a non turbo engine. Any mods I'd have to do?
im about to do this first time on my GT-T. practically the same im guessing except i dont have to remove rad/cooland or dump
are you serious amazing work really first time in my life im seeing a girl work like this keep it up and will learn more from you ;)
Don’t even have a ms3 yet and watched all of your vids lol
I going to share this video on my Facebook
That was a lot of work!
Is oil passing through the oil drain when the car is off? I'd like to ignore draining the oil If I can.
So after i finished installation i started it up and immediately began to hear intermittent squeaking with a rough vibration and shortly after some smoke began to rise from the engine. Any ideas why this is happening???
Wow I’m very proud of u
Did you remove the plastic shroud thing over the intercooler to improve air flow?
Any noticeable increase to power or efficiency from doing that? Thought about doing that to my MS3.
Don't, that plastic shroud is important for proper airflow and cooling of the intercooler. If you remove it, you will for sure see higher boost air temperatures and reduce the effectiveness of the cars cooling system. The shroud has two important features first it creates a funnel for air to flow through the cooling channels of the intercooler and second it regulates air pressure over the intercooler and around the engine bay. In order for air to flow through something there needs to be an area of high pressure on one side and low pressure on the other. If both sides are equal or close in pressure you will see little to no airflow. This is what happens when you remove that shroud, you allow more air to flow around the intercooler which will end up pressurizing the engine bay and stopping air flow for not only the intercooler but the radiator as well. It's been tested may times on this car and the results of removing the shroud always equated to worse cooling performance. We actually do have a shroud; but it’s different because we run an aftermarket intercooler.
everythingdiy oh, ok. I was curious about that being a possibility too.
Thanks for the response!! Great Vids by the way! I'm a commercial electrician and work with my hands daily but working on cars has always worried me, excluding the "simple stuff", i.e, oil change, filters and such. But now I'm pretty confident I can do a lot more. So thanks for the Great videos! Subscribed!! I've only just started watching but do you work exclusively on the MS3? I have a 2012 "base" model. No Nav,HID or any extras. All Stock too, but I've recently put Hawk Pads and Centric Cyro-reated rotors. Nothing special, really.
What size is you're t bolt clamps intake & inlet pipe
nice work. took you long enough to upload how videos again
What is that a cx9? If it's a 7 my airfilter doesn't look anything like that is that a CAI?
I feel your pain with the bloody knuckles. I just made a how-to for removing the stock turbos on my Skyline GTR and boy was it a *bleep* :)
+GoodeZilla If you look closely enough you can see the point where a band aid magically appears on my knuckle. It's right after the turbo is pulled off the car 14:15
everythingdiy I did notice that actually lol!
God I'm in love 😍😍 a girl working on cars it kills me! Keep it up! 👍🏻
......nice....I should have found your video already..... my turbo went bad on 4/25/2016 on my way back from a rural place........I know nothing about how to fix the car...and definitely I did not know you already made this video.... I sent my car to the dealer where I usually have my car service...and I spend $3000 just for turbo replacement...... cry.... you spent only $100 for a refurbished one and work very well for you....
My car is 2010 Mazda CX-7 Touring.....DISI Turbo engine.....|||
Can you make more detailed replacing and fixing videos on Mazda or Nissan Murano cars? Thanks
