Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
 

me: he posted it
says it has lots of shaft play

Chris Scheidecker: I beg to differ :D
I doubt he gets much shaft play

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
 

In the amount of time and money you've spent trying to get these turbo's from no-name vendors to work, you could have bought a nice one from a company with good customer service.

uhg.

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
 

Jesus...leave the man alone, I am sure he isn't happy the turbo doesn't work already, doesn't need everyone giving him crap, lol.

This forum is excellent at the intranet beat down :)

With ya on this one, not like swifty crawled in the turbo and fucked it up on purpose, shit happens. I do agree with getting a new turbo, from a vendor, to give you a little insurance on it not blowing to shit again. I wouldn't spend another minute with that company you have been dealing with (unless its to get the turbo rebuilt and selling it). I recall URV8SUX saying something about selling his turbo in the shoutbox (sorry, I don't know your name, screename will have to do haha), his seems to work fine :biggrin:

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
 

LMFAO! Gotta admit, that was well played!

Swiftmeister, sorry man. :( Time for better oil pressure monitoring at the turbo inlet or something? Gah that sucks.

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
 

meh. After all the advice given, all the I'm gonna do this and that, I'm gonna billet billet billet, and then half ass purchasing a no-name "GT42" and having it fuck up. Ummm. I'd say:

a. Take people's advice if you're gonna ask and have it simply just work
b. Take the shit you put on yourself because you skimp on a turbo and buy things out-of-logical order things and have no money left (fire suit, cage(the car hasn't even seen a time slip before), 20 gauges, -AN this and that, 50 different FMICs, etc.)

That's just my ten cents.

Maybe it's finally time for a turbo with a legitimate warranty. It really isn't that hard to put these cars together to make easy power...

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
 

I think that about covers it well.

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
 

Aaaand you people are why I never post. I gave an update, not asking for opinions. When it's your money, we can talk. Till then...bye.

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
 

swifty, did you ever think about goin' with a compound setup? just wondering...but that manifold you got is pretty sweet when the right turbo goes on there. good luck to ya.

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
 

Just part it out and be done with it.

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
 

best. advice. ever.

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
 

Seriously though, how the fuck does a rebuilt turbo have fucking shaft play within a 100 miles? Even if its a piece of shit knock off, it should last awhile longer than that. I could see one doing it, but two in a row, come on.

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
 

Refund.
