Does this turbo look ok?

[-GSX-Falcon]

I just bought a used Big 16g from someone here on Tuners. It spins freely and has no shaft play...but the turbine looks chewed up. Will it still be good to use? Dude said it only have 750 mi on it.

looks all messed up to me I wouldnt put that on. I think you got ripped sorry man

 

[-GSX-Falcon]

Yeah this sucks :thumbdown . He seemed ok to me. I just asked for my money back and that I would ship it back to him. I have his # and everything if it comes to that. I hope he feeses up and realizes its crap.

Turbos commonly run at 120,000 RPM. If you boost hard on that for very long, the turbo's bearing will quickly wear out, and you'll have enough shaft play for the wheel to hit the housing.

If possible, see if he'll take it back. If not, report him to goodguybadguy, and send it somewhere for a rebuild and a new wheel.

EDIT: Oh, forgot to explain - the reason it'll fry the bearings is that with the wheel chewed like that, it's no longer properly balanced.

WTF



You should not run anything that is even half as bad looking. Why would someone sell a product in that condition, unless he told you it needs a rebuild!

Those dam gremilns got to that shit!

You have to ask 21 questions before buying things like that. That thing looks crazy and the seller should have disclosed all of that before you paid. That's not cool at all. I feel your pain. He needs to give your money back.

 

[-GSX-Falcon]

Well, hes gotten back to me and he seems cool about it and is willing to help. So we will see what we can work out. Thanks for the advice guys.

Hmm, looks like an 8-10mm wrench did that.

 

[Jason_99ozGS]

I hope you didn't pay much for it

 

[Tallen]

Someone left a shop towel in the intake!

It ate something

 

[psi on u]

theres a good reason for that thing only having 700 miles on it

 

[dsmturboawd]

use it as a door stop or something.

 

[RiceKiller_TSi]

WOW. The guy that sold you that needs a nut kicking. Yep.

 

[GSntncT]

What the flying #### is that????? Looks like that has been through a ####ing meat grinder. That blows-hard.

 

[matt123]

Hm... heres my newbie guess...

Ied say he left his intake off to feel the "awesome" gain in HP, or so he thought... and "something" perhaps a small animal :laugh: got sucked in and ####ed the blades to shit....

anyways... how much did you pay? Did he not send pics before hand?

 

[NickBsGST]

Hmmm looks kinda like my turbo

hehee just kidding

man that totally sucks...maybe i missed it but where did you buy this from?

Rabbits add a 24hp boost when they get sucked up. Deers add about 43hp.

 

[doodie]

Let us know if you got your money back. It looks like someone stuck a wrench in there while it was still spinning. Since you said it doesn't have shalf play and it spins good.

 

[-GSX-Falcon]

I got a hold of Forced performace and they said it should be fine with just a new wheel. The seller said he would pay for the new wheel so its all working out.

 

[markGSX]

that compressor wheel is in the worst shape I've ever seen
