Swifty's never-ending project thread! - Page 31

**scheides** · 05-19-2010

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

Swifty1638 · 05-19-2010

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.

KEEP YOUR CHIN UP!

You are sooo close!

**4seasons69** · 05-19-2010

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

Swifty1638 · 05-19-2010

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!

**scheides** · 05-19-2010

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

95talonracer · 05-19-2010

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

Swifty1638 · 05-19-2010

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.

F*ck that.. At least you can rev it to the moon now!

**asshanson** · 05-19-2010

Hopefully the shop you bought it from can do something for you, like a new one.

DSM_brother2 · 05-19-2010

shitty to hear

for sure keep your chin high!

Sorry to hear about the turbo. Look on Supra forums or something for a billet 67 or another 4294.

The company or person that put that turbo together isnt smart enough to realise that compressor wheel puts way too much thrust load on that 270 degree thrust bearing setup.

Swifty had no heat marks on the turbine shaft which would signify lack of lubrication. Builder is at fault.

Nice little paragraph on the differances if you scroll down.

Nice meeting you today, sadly in unfortunate circumstances.

We had a couple issues also that will end up having me pull the engine out of the car for a few tweaks.

Swifty1638 · 05-20-2010

Thanks guys. Thanks Chad with the turbo help an such. John, no idea what I'll do but I want to get the same thing. The guy I got it from usually orders them through another company for his customers. He had ordered 2 for his customer who then flaked out on hu project (galant vr4) and so he ha this to get rid of, hence the deal I supposedly got. He's running one of these on his "beater" 2g and he's going to pull it today to see if it's a 360 degree thrust bearing. He doesn't think that would matter, but then again he's not a specialist or deisel tech whom deals with turbos all day.

Funky, first fuel, and now what!? Horse shit day.

Iguess what I say about going to DB or any other shop to dyno I'd like the dentist afterall-anxiety, and not a guarentee you'll walk out all smiles.

Constant_Project21 · 05-20-2010

I cringed when I heard this! Blows balls, hopefully the shop you got it from won't bitch out and do something to help out. That's an expensive fuck up on their part.

**Kracka** · 05-20-2010

Sucks to hear Swifty, hopefully the shop is able to take care of you.

Swifty1638 · 05-20-2010

Comp wheel, aluminum backing plate, comp cover all ground into/trashed. Anyone know of a shop that can get parts? Or take the comp cover, weld it, then turn I on a lathe to get it back in spec?

It's shitty when you spend a lot of money to dyno, just to have something out of your hands fail you, and you are out that money, plus the money for the turbo, plus towing all the way back to my place in savage, if that's why's needed. I BETTER get something out of this.

**Murlo26** · 05-20-2010

Sorry to hear about this man, its never fun having more downtime

Hopefully you get it sorted out, good luck!
