1G turbo compressor wheel cracked

[Jc'sLaserRs]

well it looks like the compress wheel on the intake side has a crack in one of the blades like a Little crack at the back would this affect anything ??

 

[silver bullit]

Yes, turbo is probably shot. Any shaft play in or out?

 

[silver bullit]

P.S. was your car bone stock and where you doing an awd dyno when you got your car dynod just curios.

 

[Jc'sLaserRs]

well the turbo doesn't move in and out at all but it has a Little play when u spin it but i did a awd dyno and well i just have exhaust down pipe and thats it i think the dyno was a Little off set or something because the car feels like more hp then that

 

[silver bullit]

Can you take a pic of the inlet of the turbo? If the compressor wheel sxed in something and chip a wheel or blade i would look in the intercooler, intake, piping to see if you can find what it was. How many psi was you doing?

 

[Jc'sLaserRs]

p.s oh yeah it think the person that fixed my car up a Little proably tryed messing with the compressor wheel proably thought if u stuck a flat head in there that it hold it when the other side has the part u can hold it at stupid guy

What, what, what did you say?

 

[Jc'sLaserRs]

no i think the guy who did my timing was messing with the turbo or something heres a pic sorry this computer is being really slow hopefully its big enough to see see that chip at the bottom

 

[silver bullit]

I see it, can you get a pair of needle nose pliers to get it out? but you may want to consider rebuild or maybe buy a 16g or something else but dont take it back to the guy to fix it. I never though i could change mine, but i did 5 times in 3 months. Its not that hard.

 

[Jc'sLaserRs]

is this gonna b a problem i know it proably wont boost as good anymore which sucks but do u think it would affect driving till i get money to rebuild cause it is a brand new turbo was installed only 40 thousand miles ago

well when i look at it that pic is a Little blurry cause its from my camera phone but it looks like a part of the blade and i was stomped when i saw it i was like what the

 

[silver bullit]

I would say its not safe to drive on, due to now the turbo is off balance and gonna sux that and the metal shavings from the broken wheel into your intake and valves and it will throw the balance off even more and the bearins inside will seperate and youll get metal into you oil pan and bearings and stuff, and if it goes on the worse that could happen is you will need a new motor. So i say to park it or find one to replace it.

 

[Jc'sLaserRs]

yeah well that is no good how much does it cost to rebuild it ??

 

[silver bullit]

Depends on what is savable and how bad yours is messed up, maybe a few hundred, or if you do it yourself like 100 but you still need to have a shop balance the turbo wheel once its replaced, cause if you dont it will tear its self apart due to the imbalance.

 

[Jc'sLaserRs]

yeah that isn't bad so what kind of shop would do this like a mechanic shop ??

 

[silver bullit]

Maybe, i am not sure but you could look around or check the venders on her and see if they do.

 

[Jc'sLaserRs]

do u think if i just replace the compressor wheel on the intake side would the turbo come off balance

 

[GVR4592]

Yes it would

 

[silver bullit]

Yes and in order to do so you almost have to rebiuld it so it would be better to rebuild it then you have a fresh turbo instead of a half rebuilt one.

 

[Jc'sLaserRs]

yeah I'm gonna check Around at junk yards and call around to shops if I'm lucky id proably come across a good turbo for cheap at a junk yard i mean not cheap proably couple hundred Cause i don't have 600 to a grand for a new one i wish but yeah I'm gonna do some calling around

 

[silver bullit]

If you get it from a junk yard get a warranty or proof that it works, but 500 or so can get you an evo 16g new.

 

[MelloEclipse]

i'm sorry...i'm still trying to recover from the flathead in a turbo....*sigh*

 

[Jc'sLaserRs]

yeah and thats my 2nd option i look for a evo 16g at the same time ask some 1 to chip in on the money cost or go check at the junk yard and look around and well ask them if theres proof if it works

 

[Jc'sLaserRs]

yeah melloeclipse flat head in the compressor wheel no wonder my turbo has been acting strange boost flys all over the place sometime and sometimes it just sticks at 7 and I'm like what the cause Ive tighten all the hoses down boost leak test plenty of times and take the turbo out today and find a hole in the compressor wheel

 

[MelloEclipse]

..i hope he isn't your friend or anything...

 

[Jc'sLaserRs]

no he isn't thankfully cause i would tell him to buy me a new turbo if i knew where he is i tryed contacting him but cant get ahold of him so whatever i guess its on me
