Outer Limits 4x4 Board

hi fellas i am unable to open & close the waste gate while engine is off i should be able to shouldnt I ????
what does this meen what can it lead to ???
1hz motor if it matters cheers heaps ....azwa.

Can you describe how you are trying to open the waste gate?

If its still connected to the actuator I find it's real hard to open by hand.

I was using multigrips but also air it should actuate at 7
I gave it 100 & all it was doing is bending the bracket...
I'll give ya the whole story ,
To much oil steep climb out the breather fed the turbo ,
Luckily a mtr from the top ,
Full noise won't shut off won't stall running on oil...
Luckily just enough to go a min of full noise & not full failure ,
started a min later drove back to camp cleaned all of the piping
To remove oil topped up water
because when she finally stopped ,
water was bubbling back into the overflow...
This was thurs morn .. Day before good Friday
It's my daily & still is ... I 4wd rest of thurs , fri
No probs Left to go into warwick for supplies
all good just pumpin out the black,
stopped for rbt as I accelerate away
notice shes headin to reds
Pull over let her cool make it into Warwick no prob
While the missus gets the goods
I feed the car water while it's runnin .
Go to supercheap get some chemiweld
Drive back to camp no prob...
Rip out thermostat test bit shit
Left it out topped up with water no prob
Continued 4wdriving sat , sun left to come home mon
Camper & pretty much more than I'd ever packed before,
Loaded to the hilt halfway to the gap
Starts gettin hot pulls over let it cool get her to the servo
Juice up let her cool hit the gap
A third of the way up she's headin to the reds
I throw her back int 3rd boot it & she actually cooled down
Stopped at aratula (gfc)
Found top hose( return ) squashed in
Bent a spring from a bucket handle
shoved it in the hose & no prob got home .
Drove to work for the week
& replaced thermostat ...

Since then I have replaced glow plugs ,
All the ends are all smashed off
They are 2/3rds the length of new .
Injectors 1 of them had its own nozzle wrapped around itself
& yes I was still driving daily for 3 elks before I did the inj...
I only just done my glow plugs
The tensioner spring for the timing belt was stretched &
the pump had advanced around 2 cogs...
So yeah she's gone thru hell but she's still blowin a lot of black even though
I've turned the pump right back & she's boosting up so I thought maybe after
The incident it was so red hot that after it closed she's welded ....
I don't know , all I know is I can't afford $97 / hr
For someone to try & fix fucknose .... You get me aayyy...
Cheers Azwa

Any ideas guys ??? Am I barking up the wrong tree ???
Cheers in advance for any help in advance...

That's a bit of an epic story up there and frankly, a little hard to follow so I'm just going to address your waste gate issue for now if that's ok.

Remove the actuator rod from the waste gate lever (circlip?) and try to move the waste gate lever by hand. If it moves freely, replace your actuator. If it is still jammed shut, it's time to pull the dump pipe off and see what's going on in there, at which point you might like to seek advice from a turbo repairer. Mention the series of events you described above, but without offence, do it by phone.

Good luck.

no offence taken at all mate ,
for some reason i kept gettin logged out while writing & all that id written was being deleted ,
so that was the 3rd time i wrote it & yeah i express myself much better in person...

will a ct 26 turbo be an easy replacement for my safari if it is shagged or is it not the 1 to get???

A safari manifold will use a garret flange (probably t3) so a ct26 (square Toyota flange) will not bolt on. There's a good chance your turbo could be repaired/rebuilt.

all right , removed circlip dropped off arm & still couldnt move the waste gate even with multigrips.
dropped off dump pipe then removed back of turbo that has the waste gate on it have freed it up
& have it soakin in some wd at the moment...

with having A jammed open waste gate what will it cause ????

Jammed open will give you stuff all boost jammed shut will give you too much boost.

whats it mean when the wastegate is welded shut? like on the dts td05 turbos for 1hz

It will make the maximum boost the turbo can.

all right fellas heres an update + i have a question.
1st the update , turbos farked & so is the injector pump maybe , shes leakin bigtime...
turbo has been rebuilt after i re fit should i start it or wait until pump is done ?????
