The point I was attempting to make is that boxed and complete Mitsu are component and assy balanced, not just component balanced. Just take a look at the shaft nuts. I have about 200 1470's out there on a a pallet, most of them have some material removed from the shaft nut. This indicates a assy...
The turbo obviously needs a new compressor wheel. We need to get the turbo in hand and measure the run-out on the shaft. There is a 50/50 chance the shaft is tweaked slightly from the incident, if so the repair could be costly. However you might find it settling that if all it needs is a new...
1. That is what Loctite 272 looks like after it dries, it's not felt.
2. That is an oil deflector and it does not do anything but act as it's name applies, it is never under load unless the bearings have failed.
Journal bearing bore spec is .618", and I don't find it even remotely amusing.
Try calling next time 972-984-1800 x 103 leave a detailed message and I will call you back.
Pouring your own turbine housing doesn't effect the size of the banjo fitting in the bearing housing. There are two popular bearing housings being used by most turbo vendors. The dry housing which comes M10x1.25 and the wet housing which come M12x1.25. When we use the dry housing we drill and...
The last PTE GT32 and PTE GT37 turbos I was hired to rebuild had custom machined back plates on them that allow you to use a smaller TO4B cover for block clearence. These custom seal plates are proprietary, I assume they are made by PTE on a CNC mill. So, if your turbo needs a new one, I do not...
Whatever you decide to get I would strongly suggest an inline oil filter in your oil supply line to the turbo. Most of the mods I left in my quote introduce contaminants to your oiling system.
Ok, cause all the turbos that leave here (unless a factory box turbo) will have lines etched in the nut to indicate they are phased correctly with the shaft.
Its hard to believe its been a year since I posted that. I don't know what happened to the images in my posts. I wonder if maybe anyone backed it up or saved the image tags so I can find those pics and re-upload them to my server? TIAI'll get back into this and make a few more posts.
How does that indicate it was built improperly?Radial (up/down, left/right) should be at least .018" but no more than .022", wheel should move just not enough to allow the compressor wheel to contact the housings if spun
Axial (in/out) should be no more than .002" should barely be able to...
Just to make sure there is no confusion, just because the BB is not on the site, doesn't mean we don't sell it or have it in stock. I have several and they retail for $1949 with a T4 housing.
All Genuine Garrett BB CHRA's have a 1mm orfice. I can't comment on PTE turbos, so it is best to call them and ask directly.
Here is a picture of the "seals" and the oil supply side orfice.
Just curious, who did you speak with at Forced Performance?BB Turbos (all turbos for that matter) have seals in the form of piston rings on each side, the only o-ring goes under the seal plate but has nothing to do with oil leaking unless it is damaged or missing.
That is a TDO6H 20g from a Cyclone/Typhoon. They had Garrett T3 inlet flange patterns but were still made by Mitsu. Probably an intresting story behind why GMC designed their manifold for the truck with Garrett flanges then used a Mitsu turbo.
Anyway, same principle behind the HRC 20g except...
Man, I'll tell you what. You have to be motivated to want to take on an EVO turbine housing with a Dremel. I port anywhere from 15-20 housings a week with a 11 amp grinder that turns 15,000rpm you hold over your shoulder and the material the EVO TH is made of is no joke!Here is a picture of...
Here is a big one, I am going to let a big secret (for some) out of the bag here for you guys so bear with me through this.First of all, know that there are compressor housing A/Rs and turbine housing A/Rs. Since turbine housing A/R is likely the context of your question I will address...
You can do 400 on race gas with that .48 housing but if you ever want to unlock the potential of that turbo on your motor then you will have to put a larger housing on that turbo. Remember, you can't get in what you can't get out. You'll enjoy the response that .48 housing will offer though...
Simply put, Mitsu is to Garrett as Ford is to Chevy, at least in the DSM market anyway. Mitsubishi is an extremely diverse company that manufactures everything from commercial power plants to televisions. In order to simplify supply concerns and control costs they make several of the components...
Yikes! It's hard to answer these questions when answers take so long to write all the while more questions are getting shot out so fast and so general. So please be patient with the questions while I hammer these out, I will try to answer one per night for the next week.
Completley normal.Turbochargers do not have seals made of rubber. The device used in most (some have carbon seals) turbos to make a seal are called piston rings. Just like the rings around the pistons in your motor these rings have a small end cap. This seal is reffered to as dynamic...
I'll step up to the plate, but this is going to take a couple of days to write in order to cover this proper. Might take two or three pages and several illustrations, problem is most people have a 3-5 line attention span on message boards. In addition, 2 or 3 of those questions have been covered...
I'm not saying it doesn't make a difference. All I am saying is that it isn't as big a difference as you might think. When comparing a 2.5" tubular O2 housing to a 3" tubular O2 housing you have to keep in mind that we are talking about 6-8". While that might mean alot to your girlfriend it...
The product pictures on the website are old, all of the FP30 2.5" O2 housings have downpipe flanges on them that heave threaded holes and come with OEM studs, all you need is your old nuts.As far as the whole 2.5" vs. 3" goes. It may not be "choking" it as much as you think. The exducer...
What happened is you decreased the backpressure after the turbo, effectivley increasing delta P across the turbine wheel. This transmits more power to the turbine shaft sooner.The less backpressure the better, that is why everyone needs a minimum of a 3" exhuast.
Just so I know you understand. I wouldn't take those bearings back becuase you had been putting them in and out of your bearing housing, measuring, and trying to put them on a damaged shaft.My policy on taking back things in this circumstance requires me to be able to sell the product to...
Here are a couple of easy pulls on the dyno with a 2.0 (9.0:1) motor at 26 or 27 psi. Blue run is in 4th gear and red line is in 3rd gear. We were messing around with the boost controller, trying to get some bugs worked out of it (boost controller).You can see it spools to 27psi in 4th gear...
