No Cookout for me :(
Last night cruising down the road, the car started to act up at higher RPMs, started missing and whatnot. Well trying to push past the misfire I ended up loosing boost and looked in my mirror and saw a HUGE cloud of smoke. Like I couldnt see the car that was 15ft behind me. Got it back to the shop and found this...
Something doesnt look right... http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/t...h_d00af400.jpg LOL Then I took the turbo further apart and this is what it looks like http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/t...h_3e0d6485.jpg http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/t...h_85e86d74.jpg http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/t...h_b6525664.jpg http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/t...h_3fb50a15.jpg http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/t...h_505db1fd.jpg http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/t...h_ff009c03.jpg If anyone knows anyone with an FP3575 that they want to get rid of hit me up I just cant win with this car!

Re: No Cookout for me :(
It will be fine dude. Just weld up the outlet and let it buck! But seriously though, that is some shitty luck just in time for the cookout.

Re: No Cookout for me :(
We may make a plate that bolts on where the center section bolts to the exhaust housing and block it off and run it up there NA. Just a thought
|
Re: No Cookout for me :(
Why not. That's so hill billy! at least it's only the turbo.

Re: No Cookout for me :(
Buy cornfeds turbo
|
Re: No Cookout for me :(
+1 cornfeds turbo
|
Re: No Cookout for me :(
You still have some time to get another turbo. Then once it actually runs, stop driving it until Sunday morning before the Cookout. LOL

Re: No Cookout for me :(
Just tow it there like you did last time!! :)
|
Re: No Cookout for me :(
Ive never towed it to the cookout
Im working on getting a replacement |
Re: No Cookout for me :(
I don't think Nick's turbo would bolt up. Doesn't that 3575 have the EWG right on the turbine housing?

Re: No Cookout for me :(
It's the cookout curse
Out of all my Mitsu's the only one that wasn't broke down for the cookout was the ratty Scummit |
Re: No Cookout for me :(
Hmm, did you buy it from FP direct? Or is it a used one? FP is pretty good about warranty work, but they even hooked me up pricewise when I damaged my 3575 compressor wheel a few years ago.

Re: No Cookout for me :(
I got it second hand. I was looking for a cheap option at the time and that came up. I should have rebult it but it was only sposta last a short while anyways, just not this short.

Re: No Cookout for me :(
Probably wasnt torqued down correctly as well as balanced and did you use a thread locker? Tighten that back up unless your compressor whell is really messed up. I have a big 16g compressor wheel if it would fit, was thinking of modding my 14b though. stick it back in there and dont boost:)

Re: No Cookout for me :(
Make sure you remove your intake pipes and intercooler, and pressure wash them out to make sure no metal chunks get sucked down your motor!
|
Re: No Cookout for me :(
