dbr11k Posted October 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 Boosted it up the driveway this arvo... Proceeded to blow the bearings in the turbo... Yay. can only put it down to me getting dirt in the turbo housing at one stage of me taking the turbo off, and blocking the oil feed off.

dbr11k Posted October 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 Shaft is just flapping around in the housing, shut it down as soon as I heard it but it looks like its ʞ©$ɟed the compressor wheel.. Which is a billet item and is one of only two ever made. Have it boxed up with GCG's address on it already. This ones gunna sting the wallet :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbr11k Posted October 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 (edited) Video right before the bearings shit.. Was running perfect, absolutley loving it I was, at least I know what it's going to go like once its finished, so my motivation is through the roof, was in the shed for 14 hours today working on the car, had it basically stripped back to a shell again and re did all the fuel system, fixed all wiring up, did a back yard wheel alignment and a shit heap more won't let this minor set back stop me Edited October 4, 2012 by dbr11k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
