joy of joys, i think i blew another one
 

turbo that is, #3 now has oil running out the exhaust side.

woo-hoo, this is it im done. looks like im blowing my tax refund buying a new turbo.

i will certainly do alot more research before i have another turbo rebuilt.

Re: joy of joys, i think i blew another one
 

How long did it last?

Re: joy of joys, i think i blew another one
 

this one lasted about 4 months.

it still boosts fine so im going to pull it apart on saturday and see what is going on.

so ------- tired of this happening.

anybody no a good place to buy new turbos from?

Re: joy of joys, i think i blew another one
 

Did it come from Blaast? I got a new one from him, a 1000 miles later the damn thing smokes like a bitch. 900 bucks down the drain. It really pisses me off

Re: joy of joys, i think i blew another one
 

hahah, welcome to the club.

Re: joy of joys, i think i blew another one
 

Well yeah. My experience with this was a little over a year ago. Still pissed about it though, and still wanting to retaliate :7

Re: joy of joys, i think i blew another one
 

Blasst strikes again my ching chong still works great 6monthes 8k SSautochrome FTW O0

Re: joy of joys, i think i blew another one
 

Plenty of my buddies run the same and have been for awhile. Its sad, i could have bought 6 of those things if i haven't given my money to that stupid canadian

Re: joy of joys, i think i blew another one
 

this is the second one from blaast, the first fell apart. literally.
it was upgraded to with a bunch of seals and ----.

then he sent me another center section, not upgraded.

im not dealing with him anymore. im over it. not worth the frustration/shipping cost.

Re: joy of joys, i think i blew another one
 

BLAAST sounds like one dodgy ---- , I was in the market for a turbo a few weeks ago glad I didn't buy from him!!

Re: joy of joys, i think i blew another one
 

what a ------ douch bag!!!!

Re: joy of joys, i think i blew another one
 

eh, i learned and im over it.

now i need to change turbos. so any suggestions for a decent turbo for my engine.

its a d16a6 bored to 76mm w/vitara pistons.

i have a 60 trim t3, its from a tbird i think. it starts making boost a little below 3000rpm and hits like 5-6 psi at around 3500rpm.

i have 600 dollars to spare from taxes, but cheaper is better.

ideas?

and no chink ----.

Re: joy of joys, i think i blew another one
 

Evo 7/8/9 turbo. Can usually get one with low miles for around 600$.
Good solid factory turbo with excellent bang for buck ;)

Re: joy of joys, i think i blew another one
 

hy35
/search

Re: joy of joys, i think i blew another one
 

yeah, i was thinking about a holset considering the good luck that people have had with them.

im wondering, what do i need to search for?

im asking for opinions about my particular setup. its non-vtec, so i dont have the same powerband as the d16z6/y8.

so you search, and if you find a d16a6 w/ a holset on it in a thread then link it here. but i didnt find one on this site.

Re: joy of joys, i think i blew another one
 

I say try out one of those chinese ball bearing GT28's. Otherwise *sighs* just get a Holset like everyother person these days. ::)

Re: joy of joys, i think i blew another one
 

no ------- way, wont touch a ball bearing turbo, and definetly not a chinese one.

it will probally be a holset.

or maybe a 60-1 w/.48 exhaust housing. seen it on craigs site and just like how misproportioned the housings are.

or a 60 trim t3, but a new one this time. i really liked this turbo.

Re: joy of joys, i think i blew another one
 

thats gay get something bigger. Ching chang to4e?

Re: joy of joys, i think i blew another one
 

I wonder if that guy from BLAAST just slaps rebuild kits onto your turbos and calls it a day, or goes through the dozens of procceses actually required to rebuild a turbo to make it last. I make turbos for a living and can tell you that its not easy. Turbos are extremely picky of tolerances and every piece affects the other. In other words, get your turbo rebuilt from a repuable source, and if you buy a ching ching turbo, god help you. Some may last, but others wont, simply because China does not have strict quality control standards, they simply rely on volume to fuel their buisness. However, I can tell you firsthand that China has some of the best castings and machining quality I have seen, but their tolerances must be out of whack. i am sure their $1/hour labourers dont know how to/or intend to asjudt their machines to produce the correct tolerances. If you are mechanically inclined and have the now how, buy a SSAC turbo by all means, disassemble it to the last bit when you recieve it, and check all the specs. If you have a manual lathe in your shop, adjust the dimensions and you have a kickass turbo for dirt cheap.

he's using a y7 head on a z6 block if I remember right, using a holset h1c. Those you can get for a lot cheaper, but they are older and a little less efficient than the hx/hy's. I'm pretty sure the hy's are supposed to be slightly more efficient than the hx's, and should come with smaller turbine sides for quicker spool, that is if I'm remembering my holset lore properly

Re: joy of joys, i think i blew another one
 

14b ftw get a use one from crx22111 here on hmt if the ---- fail he will take care of you tell him mark sent you

Re: joy of joys, i think i blew another one
 

No ---- hes a badass to deal with! Wtf is up wtih this blast guy still selling stuff i have heard MANY storys about his work..

Re: joy of joys, i think i blew another one
 

mark and i are pretty cool with each other and he make good by his word and if he gives a vouche to anyone and i mean anyone they have a pretty good rep with him and that my friends is not easy to come by marks number one in my book ie net sales and as a person of his word

Re: joy of joys, i think i blew another one
 

Are you idiots running an oil restrictor? If you aren't then it is your fault the turbo seals keep blowing,

Re: joy of joys, i think i blew another one
 

who the ---- are you calling idiots bignig?

yeah it has a restrictor, stick to bashing noobs w/ your infinite knowledge, and gtfo of my thread.

wish that the thread was still alive looks like he deleted most of it.

i dont know if i like that power band though, my build is really low compression so the bottom end is a dog getting up to speed, right know it really kicks in at like 3500 and i like that, dont know if i would enjoy driving a car with a 2000 rpm powerband.

but the h1c is an old ass turbo, and maybe an hy would spool faster.

i dont know if a 14b would flow enough air for 300hp.

Re: joy of joys, i think i blew another one
 

does anyone know if ford still sells the turbos for the 80's thunderbirds?

like an exchange for a new one?

Re: joy of joys, i think i blew another one
 

i dont think so. i went through hell trying to find a .63 ford t3. you can find the .48's all day. but only the m/t turbo coupes and stangs had the .63, everything else was the tiny .48.
i was gonna suggest oil restrictor, but looks like you got that covered.
why not run a 16g? they are not too hard to find and reliable. dsm boards have them everywhere in their classifieds

Re: joy of joys, i think i blew another one
 

trying to hit up that cracker motha fucker on here for his svo turbo, hopefully he gets back to me.

i like the .48 housing but i will try his .63 if i get it.

nice avatar.

maybe i wil try a knock off one, people seem to be having good luck with them.
