It would be interesting to know if it were a batch or if slide had some one else do the machine work/balance etc at some point?

R33God, you said the motor had a tapy sound or something.. what's oil pressure like? Drop your oil and look for metallic in it.

If there's a tap/knock coming from the motor it is possible for the motor to drop oil pressure and as a result starve the journal bearing turbo as they require considerably more oil than the BB cores.

I am not going to speculate what happened.

BUT

If you are looking for pieces of the turbine or whether "something went through it" i would be looking at the intake to the FMIC or the pipes leading to it. When pieces fly off the front compressor, they will usually get stuck at the fmic, they don't go to the exhaust side :D.

Looks like exactly what happened to my turbo

didnt even last 3months or 5tho kms, electronic boost controller so no overboosting...

NOTHING at all went through the turbo

wasnt even booting it when it went bang and didnt make boost...

im still trying to get a refund..........................................................................

One would image that if there loosing blades the wheel is possibly being over sped or surging . I can't say with certainty but many found over the years that compressors with lots of blades like 71mm 8 blade T04's don't like high speed high pressure ratio use .

If in that pic it was a complete blade detached from the compressor then its very likely let go at its root and rubbed on the inside of the housing . I reckon that would do all sorts of nasties balance wise and if it managed to jamb between the wheel and housing that would make itself heard .

Cheers .

Well i got a response from Slide and they basically handballed the problem onto the manufacturer of the turbo for me to sort out....thanks guys!

here is a pic of what became of mine....massive shaft play side to side, nothing in the cooler piping and definitely no overboosting!

oh and I used 8mm speedflow fittings for the oil feed over the recommended drilling of the banjo fitting :S just so there were no excuses

dam...

wonder if I should sell my hi-flow and go something else now...

goodluck mate, the bad rep these turbos are getting i'd be surprised if you got a buyer.

same with me Tazz.... i sent mine to GCG and got a very interesting report...

i think some legal action might be required?

same thing here.

GCG have printed me out a report on the receipt of the turbo i got rebuilt by them.

R33GOD, let me know how far you get with getting your turbo repaired.

yeah mate, click on the link in my sig for all the details.

heres a hint... Murnane Motors were the company who REALLY built these turbos.

Thanks for setting everyone straight as to where the warranty obligations lay. There has been far too much confusion in this thread about this subject.

Good job.

Cheers.

i have had my slide highflow on my car for about 10 000 ks now,no problem yet!!sorry to hear about the problems people are having with these turbos!

my engine needs a rebuild now anyway,will be putting in some good forged pistons and conrods in!will now maybe consider putting a bigger turbo on,will diffnately be garrett!these problems are not good,but some guys have really good luck with highflows,one of the guys in the rb25 power dyno

section got 263kw at the rear wheels with the same turbo i got from slide,the max oversize one,so it seems weird that these problems are happening to these turbos,maybe the rush that they had with orders at the start of this year made the people that do the turbos make mistakes with the rush,but that should not happen!!i was lucky i got my turbo before the rush!

      Looking for a part number for this part here

      By Duncan · Posted

      So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
