never gonna work on my car again

[Brutal_r3drum]

so i just started to pull my junk exhaust manifold off to weld the cracks and thought to look and see what the shaft play on my turbo was feeling like... bad idea... there is like a half inch of in and out movement... wtf???? no side to side though... even bigger wtf... how could this happen?

How old is the Turbo? Maybe antilag? Not oiled?

Thrust plate is toast. Cause; probably friction and heat aka lack of oiling. Also, it wasnt a bad idea, it was a great idea unless, you want to try to combust shards of metal.

Haha the typical DSM problems, upgrade to a 2g manifold and rebuild the turbo, its gonna be fun, so keep going at it, "So work on your car again!!"

Been there man. Trans is out right now for the... uhhh.. 6th time now?

Orig clutch failed, replaced with ClutchMasters FX400
Clutch drag, put in stock replacement from Advanced Auto. Problem persisted.
Put CM FX400 back in and replaced clutch master and slave with OEM from ExtremePSI
FX400 disc failed so it's back out.

And that's just on this trans. The trans that came in the car came out a few times as well..



Ohh and I had your exact problem on this 16g. Lots of in/out, no side to side. Rebuilt it and put on a 2g mani. Problem fixed.

You do realize all turbos WILL FAIL at some point. A turbo is a part, that NO MATTER WHAT at some point and time, will eventually die.

A turbo is simply one of those parts that you need to replace at some time, how long depends on the wear and tear you put on it.

Your log says 18g, 660s, afpr, ect. Im sure your running some higher boost and beating on the car a bit.

Also make sure you have sufficient oil feed.

Dont look at it as your being forced to fix it, more that your car asked nicely for an upgrade. the turbo could have exploded while driving leaving you stranded.

Thanks guys!!! Turbo isn't that old maybe 9 months... I only run 15 lbs right now nice I'm not running a fmic and I don't beat in it very much because I'm not flowing efficiently(sp) so I take it easy... idk what I'm gonna do right now... I can't afford a rebuild or upgrading it...so who knows I might just sell it get a daily and save up some money for another...

yea dude i feel u, my gst is for sale on craigslist as we speak, no more garage and im not doing this ish in the snow... best of luck and turbo rebuilds arent that much work i had fun learning how to do mine, those how to's up there are REALLY helpful but i didnt check ## mod list tho so maybe not

 

[leecastillo]

it should only be a hundred bucks for a rebuild kit

 

[98mitsubishigst]

i mean, im selling my 14b =p you could buy off me for like 20-30 bucks so you don't HAVE to drive your car.

 

[shadow001dsm]

if it makes you feel better mine has no compression right now. it cranks but no start. idk its not the gaskets or rings.

WTF That blows.

As for the OP. Just b/c you have some shaft play doesn't mean you sell you car ! I say you take up that offer for that 14b ^^^

 

[motozachl]

Just a crack and some minor shaft play
