Swifty's never-ending project thread!

[scheides]

Tell us how it went swifty! Doesn't sound good, hopefully you got some baselines down at least.

[Swifty1638]

it revs to 9200 or more, if I so choose..not sure what to rev to.

Turbo is done. Fucked that shit up. Dunno what I'm gonna do.

FMIC is too thin..heatsoaks. Prolly gonna sell it, and get a 5" or 6" think ETS core.


Now you all can speculate, or shit talk some more. I'll let others fill in details as they soo wish..I don't really care to deal with or discuss anything right now. I'm just in awe at how much this fucking cunt of a car goes sometimes, but hey, it's the hobby and what we choose, right? I guess it could be worse.

that really sucks man! sorry to hear!!!!

[Swifty1638]

oh yea, I also forgot..a looped line on the coolant t-stat housing (for the turbo feed/return if it was a bb) blew up, and shot coolant all over db's dyno room. Their walls are now dawned with the blood, sweat and coolant from myself/talon. Take that DB!

Holy crap it revs! Get any WOT runs in? Any actual numbers?

[95talonracer]

He told me that is taking the turbo apart right now. Let us know what you find.

Seriously, WHO THE FUCK USES A 270 DEGREE THRUST BEARING FOR A TURBO THIS SIZE!?

Since the pics are not quite clear, comp wheel is done, backing plate is ground away/done, comp cover..done. Thrust bearing had too much in/out shaft play, wore away, had more play, then the turbo comp wheel sucked itself straight into the comp cover. Everything is fucked. Turbo is now an expensive paperweight, till I figure what the fuck to do.
