While looking for that pic, I stumbled across this... I thought it was pretty funny.

Last I heard the real problem hadn't been found as he was still trying to blame the turbo. The teflon in the oil galleries sounds like it'd be worth checking out. That stuff is seriously dodgy and if bbe knows so much about motors why is he even using it?

As for smoking Ceffys,how do you roll them and aren't they a bastard to light? :D

Not if you have NOS bro! Just shoot it up! :sick::P

As for friday night, smoking Ceffys... Hmm... Maybe smoking a bit too much weed, as, if I remember correctly, friday night, the car had no turbo... :sick:

Circular logic:

A healthy, finely tuned engine can run 9500 RPM.

My car can run 9500 RPM, threfore it is highly tuned and healthy!

It's like saying Dogs eat steak and run around a lot

I run around a lot and eat steak, therefore I am a dog!

Just a question to Slide,

Why would someone swap from a GCG highflow to one of your turbos? Isnt it a downgrade going from BB to TB?

To the guy from the thread. I remember when I installed my GCG, there were very strict instructions to do the following

- Check the oil/water lines when off the car (I used a pipe cleaner to clean it, then blew through them to be certain they were clean)

- Once turbo is on, before connecting the oil drain, crank the engine over until oil comes out the bottom, did that!

- Upon first installation, let the car idle for 10 minutes WITHOUT revving it to let the seals settle, did that!

- During the last 5 minutes of that 10 minutes, I ran it under some idle load (A/C on, lights on, music on etc)

- Checked for oil leaks, none!

THEN, ONLY THEN did I take the car out for a drive. You know what, Id never swapped a turbo before that, and guess what, my GCG have no problems what so ever.

Be smart, dont be arrogant.

He was mistaken...

I made recommended MTQ (Dynamic Turbochargers) for a SA based turbo company to another member as I know of one car that has been running around with a bush rb20t highflow for some years now and has had no problems.

bbe jumped in to the thread saying they were shit, he installed one and it stuffed up straight away.

In bbe's other thread he claimed it was a gcg highflow that he had, I made mention of that and he later said he made a mistake and it was MTQ..

If one had such a problem with a turbo and it wasn't covered under warranty I sure as hell know I wouldn't easily mistake them for another company that sound nothing like them. Especially GCG that isn't even in Adelaide. :laugh:

But thats just me, just fishy thats all.

He's not very clear communicating his thoughts, just rambles.

I saw an interesting bumper sticker today.

"Why is it those with closed minds always open their mouth"

Ummmmm

Not this topic again...

It seems he does not want to admit responcability. He said in his first thread that he had modified his oil line. Then in this thread he says that he only found out about the oil line modifications after fitting and destroying the turbo...

So which story is it... I suggest you didnt modify the oil feed correctlly or even at all... You may have modified it tho before returning it to slide...

As i have stated before Im not sticking up for a forum trader as i dont really know Arron well at all. I have never purchased from him. I probablly would tho if he had something i needed as he is local to me and has a very high trader rating. I think most would aggree that I am seen as an on-bias moderator by most of the forum. I still think that Arron is right and you my friend are wrong. But thanks for sharing with the forum it made for an interesting read and i learnt something new.

Thank You

Without wanting to spark up a Ball Bearing vs Journal Bearing debate again both turbo's perform exceptionally well and are both are great upgrades.

The cheaper option is journal bearing and for the same results is a great option for uprade over its ball bearing equivalent.

I am probably one of very few manufacturers of turbochargers that prefers the Journal highflows over Ball Bearing.

I cannot justify spending the money on a turbo to make 250-260rwkw at a cost of over the price of brand new Garrett Turbochargers such as the GT3040R etc

They are now available internally gated and are a great option for uprade for now and future performance expectations.

With such a small frame turbocharger the difference between ball bearing and journal is not something that is noticable to the point where it matters.

:P

Those pix that were posted slide. were pretty blurry..

BBE ur better off taking it up in person, not on this forum. as u get better results from people that way.

i am shocked at the moronic posts in this thread. the incident could be either of their faults, better to get it all checked out by a third party. with no affiliation to either party.

flame on.

They are not blurry enough to hide the fact that its extreme heat damage, which is only caused by lack of oil supply.

Nothing else :ninja:

So blurry or not, the failure reason is undisputable, along with the fact this isnt the first turbo BBE has killed... its pointing directly towards a motor/oil issue, not a turbo issue

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
