Please tell me WHY!

[IJ.]

not to be an ass or anything, but suprahooked did.... just FYI.

What part of STFU aren't you getting?

Your posts add NOTHING of any value to the tech section.

You then try and pass your ignorance off on "I was kidding around" ENOUGH.

It's ok to "kidd around" after the OP has a solution to a question asked but all you do is clutter the section with garbage such as you passive aggressive bullshit post above.

I won't tell you again one more BS post and you'll be taking a holiday from SM.

IJ, Should I just disconnect the drain from the block, start the car and catch the oil in a bucket? Or pull the feed line off of the turbo and catch the oil that way?


At this point I want to test all I can that could be the cause.

Thanks,
Matt

Matt: Yes run the drain into a bucket and run the motor for 1 (one) minute at idle and then measure how much is in the bucket.

It might come out like whipped brown cream don't freak that's sort of normal, you may want to add 1 Qt before you do this test.

There has to be a reason why it's eating Turbo's and it's usually too much/not enough Oil, they're quite a simple device with little to go wrong.

Uhm, from the sounds of it i had the same problem i bought a 57-1 and each time I got it back ( twice ) i had a problem, you at least got to drive it for 3-4 days mine was never balanced correctly and made ( Cow nosies ) ^^ I swear that is what it sounded like. I guess its a lot to ask for a Good turbo these days, Ill stay with the HKS Turbos for now they never caused me trouble then again for the price... they shouldn't., good luck man!

Will do! What should the correct amount of oil be?
BTW, thanks for trying to keep the post clean!

Matt: It really depends on Turbo type and which bearings it has.

I suspect starvation as you're reporting abnormal amounts of wear in a short time.

This could be something as simple as an incorrectly assembled hose fitting, what did you change when you went back to the CT?

I didn't change anything. I use the same braided lines for both the stocker and the upgraded CT. Lines could very well be the issue.
Thanks,

Ok if it's NOT killing the stock Turbo that pretty well rules out a supply issue Matt.

 

[mhopemk3]

Just trying to rule out all possibilities!

Thanks

 

[HommerSimpson]

well id still do a test on the supply and drain...make 100% sure you cover that base...
And good thing you got a spare turbo...
I got a spare motor today from junk yard ( never bought spare motor for anything i ever owned before damn 7m's lol )
what turbo you going with next ?

 

[mhopemk3]

I am going to test it anyway.

Next turbo will more than likely be a gt35r.

Kewl... how much Hp ? ya think you gona be at with the gt35r

I got everything to finish mine today from junk yard... took 3 of us oan 36 inch pipe wrench and 3 foot cheater bar to turn a motor 3/4 inch to slide intermediate shaft out as mine has a chiped tooth...then went and got spare motor for shits and giggles....
I will prob call you if i have any issues... and if all goes well maybe sat night Karen and I take road trip up to jax...
So hope you are still running :}

 

[mhopemk3]

Nothing wrong with having a spare.

I hope I would be somewhere in the upper 400's to low 500's.

I will be running! Good luck and let me know if you need anything.

Matt, i still say you can try out my 57 trim to see if you like it :evil2:

Plus i wanna see how well it runs before i bolt it on mine, haha

I appreciate the offer but I am a little gun shy about bolting on another turbo! Especially if it's not mine and not under warranty!

 

[87nasupra]

Well, look at it this way...........if you blow it then i know ill have to rebuild for sure. haha. i just think it would pull harder from the bottom end then the 60-1

 

[black91turbo]

I am pretty sure Matt wont be bolting on any CT-26s again......::dead horse::
