Turbo Carnage

[Loki]

Well I got my old dieing turbo off, well actually it died about 45 minutes from home but i limped it home. It was all downhill, there was alot of costing :aigo:


Well here are the pics off the old turbo, enjoy.

ouch, that hurts

 

[JimR]

Yikes! At least it's oiled up ;-)

 

[aye mate]

sheee... that makes me nervous about pushing my 146k miles one too much....

 

[Adjuster]

Just curious what PSI that stock CT26 died at? Or is it from coked bearings, and then the exducer side sheared off?

Does not appear it was spooled up to max when it failed, so I'm going with the coked bearings theory. (What does the oil drain side look like? I bet it's caked with coked/baked on oil deposits.)

Well Loki, I gave you the knowledge on how to rebuild it, and I also have a good turbine laying around....

 

[Loki]

It was at 12 psi, it had 176.000km on it but it's fine now I've got a 60 trim on there now.

Owie!!! That looks like it hurt...a lot! I wonder what it's like to be a turbo...

 

[MDCmotorsports]

Hey Loki... wanna sell that turbo to me?

 

[Loki]

Owie!!! That looks like it hurt...a lot! I wonder what it's like to be a turbo...

I would guess it's kind of hot being a turbo :icon_razz


MDC, if you want it. I don't know what broken turbo's go for these days.

 

[MDCmotorsports]

Let me know...
Surely I can rebuild it.

Eleventy Billion Dollars

used broke turbos are at a premuim. I'd say at lest twice that amount 'mate. or .25 cents /lbs.

that turbo and my celica have something in common.

Mine failed in the same manner. Made the most horrible grinding noise too

Mine whined for about 2 weeks, then on the way home it made some horrific noises and then the boost gauge wouldn't come out of vacumn. It sucked, then I had to finish going up this huge hill with no turbo


And yes, it does have something in common with the Sillycar.
