Today, i had my turbo in my hand and i tipped it over on its side and saw motor oil pour out the hotside exit, where the fan blades are. Now is that normal or did i bust a seal?

 

No that is not normal. You might have a blown turbine side oil seal.

 

blown seal

 

uh oh

 

Damn Damn Damn. I just got my motor built and now i run into turbo problems.

Now tell me this, can i buy the seal somwhere or is it better to just buy a new turbo. TN wont cover this under warranty because im the second owner, but its still under 1 year.

What do you guys recommend.

 

I recommend Deadbolt ... these guys are awesome. They can rebuild/fix anything. http://www.boostplanet.com/

Very popular in the subaru crowd (I used to own an STi) and never heard a single bad thing about them.

 

k, ill keep them in mind, anyone else?

 

upgrade to GT37R

 

Not looking to spend alot of money, Especially on a TN kit. If i was gonna spend close to 2k, might as well sell the kit and go twins.

 

Thats good advice.

ps. Welcome to the world of turbonetics turbos.

 

how about checking for crank ventilation and oil drain first?

 

I guess it all depends on your power level goals. If you really dont want to go past 500-550 whp then just rebuild the TN turbo you already have. Now if you plan on going past 550 then you will need a bigger turbo. A GT37R should just bolt up to the TN kit piping (hopefully) and should be good for 700whp. I will be trying this in a few months and see how it goes...

 

Good advice...

 

crank ventilation?

 

I wish it was that easy to get the TN kit over 500 rwhp lol.
Spotlight on Taurran

 

How do you do that. And the wierd thing is, nothin poured out of the oil drain out the turbo. it just came out the exhaust exit.

 

GTM did it.

 

alright guys, its good to know who did what but can someone help me out here. how do i check the crank ventliation. lol

If i need to order a new turbo, i need to do it now.

 

also, does anyone know the part number to the turboes that come with the kit.

 

which one is it?

60-1 Fullsize / F1-62 .58 A/R

60-1 Fullzise / F1-62 .63 A/R

60-1 Fullsize / F1-57 .63 A/R


EDIT: Nevermind, i got it
