I drove it for about 5 days. Full boosting too.

Im picking the turbo up today around 6 pm. Wednesday Ill probably cut off the stock v band and weld my own on to match my dp v band. Then ready to go again.

 

Just picked up the new Turbo today. 18.5 cm. A little larger than my last. Thats fine with me.

 

Looks good.

 

Damn looking good, so when are you going back to retune?

 

Only thing holding me up is a vtec solenoid lol

 

Atp, doesnt carry that type of vband clamp, they carry what im already using which suck beyond, those bolts are to tyny to tigten properly, i need to find that cmalp for a 3" er

 

The v band setup im currently running IMO sucks *****. I wouldnt recommend it to anyone.

It has a teflon seal (which also aligns the 2 bands) which must be removed for exhaust use !

So your stuck trying to align the bands by eye.


On a good note I put the turbo in today, I swapped my old h1c exhaust housing right onto it since I already got the v band welded onto it.

 

its just they the one it shows on the first coupld of pics looks pretty heavy during and would be able to handle a good tighteing, the other clamps fukin all broke on me from being hand tightned

 

So what's the skinny on the old turbo Joe? You had it rebuilt and it still smoked? I'm looking for a turbo for the 850R and wanna try something different. If it's not too hosed would you let it go for cheap?

 

I rebuilt it myself which was cake.
I sent out the wheels for balancing.
When I got it back and began to reassemble it I couldnt see the alignment marks the dude made for balancing.
So I just threw it together.
It still works, I hit full boost a couple more times with it. But sometimes the wheels would get caught and no boost lol.

On a side note though, the shaft was pitted and fins on both wheels are a bit damaged. I wouldnt use it. Im just gonna keep it for the housings.

Wouldnt sell it to ya henry, I dont see any hope in it.
