Hey guys so i finally installed my new highflow! drove around probably 20kms-30kms , it was great.. the power is unbelieviable pulls like crazy!! but then suddenly it siezed up! so i had to drive home checked it nothing looked wrong . Now could this be due to starvation from the oil? not much oil is coming in to the turbo? Is there a procedure we have to do before we install back in the turbo?

Thanks..

What sort of hi-flow?

If it was bush bearing, i do believe you cant just bolt on as the stock lines do not slow enough.

Similar to the Slide hi-flows that were being done, that required the oil line or something to be enlarged.

You didnt get enlarged lines or informed to put larger lines on there to start?

Or perhaps they are not needed... but then if others need enlargement i cant see how any other would be different regardless of warranty because its still a head fk to pull a turbo on/off labour wise

Interesting....

recently had head work done, and ended up with a cracked head.

while in diagnosis mode there was too much oil going into the Slide bush bearing highflow, due to tomei restrictors in the head

whilst that was fixed and the correct flow was managed (get a good tuner buddy! BoostWerx for the win) oil was still being burnt

new head was reflowed and ported etc with my stuff moved into it

retuned on dyno, with turbo copping a beating for 3yrs, for 226rwkw

bush bearing turbos arnt that bad. for $600 + a dead turbo its a great deal!

MUST ensure correct oil flow, but even with too little / too much you've got a window of opportunity to fix the issue before all hell breaks loose

good luck with the new oil lines

Ive always done atleast 100k's before i put the foot down to run it in. Bush bearing hiflows are crap though in all honesty.

get a garrett bb item now

BAHAHA its a known fact that bush bearing are far more hardy than BB.... dont post crap.

Don't let sydneykid catch you saying that :thumbsup:

he had a massive rant in slides thread plugging GCG lol.

Will they autopsy the turbo when its out?

Ah now now Trent :P

You know as long as lower shaft speeds and oil pressure is observed then they are OK.

Soon as you go above things (or below) then things start to fail.

Same can indeed be said for ball bearing turbo's, infact BB items are overall more sensitive... fact remains though that anything can be killed. :thumbsup:

On a side note, when are you going to attend a damn cruise?

This is basically what that was:

The high flowed turbo was fitted with stock oil line and bolted up with a stock oil feed screw. (on right) We did not carry out this installation.

Problem was on the standard oil restriction valve. The Turbo siezed up, without blowing smoke. It needs to have as much oil as possible to flow. Braided oil feed line is required to make this work.

All internal bearing components used in this high flow are original Garrett

soon :) we are revising the DA car into a neat streeter, same running gear but without the big kit, wing etc.... hope to have it completed in about a month.

so do require new oil lines or larger internal banjo bolts for bush bearing turbos??

since ive got one coming from hypergear too..lol

and i was planing on using the stock lines..but new gaskets.. :(

i found out coz it bush/sleeve bearing turbo core..

u cant use the stock lines or banjo bolts..

it requires more oil than bb turbos...

u got get a new braided line with new fittings

dash 4 is size u need..

i got mine made up 2day for 80bucks with speedflow fittings..

which was done by GoGear in Perth...

no im just waiting on the turbo :D

what bolt is that on the left?

is that the one uz fitted to Geraus car??

whats the required inside diameter of the banjo bolt or fittings??

coz my speedflow fitting are the same size internal diameter as the one on the RIGHT(stock)..

but without the restriction in the bolt...

that will be fine, the restrictor on the stock fitting is about 1-2mm and the speedflow one is about 4mm from memory.

    • It’s new. It’s the cd009. I did take the transmission apart to mill down the bellhousing and had both housings come off the gears so wondering is something isn’t in right. I am running redline. I can get it in gear running too but it’s just not easier and it’s almost like 2, 4, 6, and reverse all the back gears aren’t happy going in
    • I’ll remember that as a last choice. It’s brand new
    • Got keys and did a walk around the yard planning the landscaping works with the family that I will be doing Main effort: remove all the woodchip in the gardens that are around (attached) to the outside of the house and replace with 10mm blue metal, having woodchip close to the house is a recipe for inviting white ants, currently there are no white ants within the block and I would like to keep it that way I'll be buying some large raised garden beds to grow veggies and stuff, and the woodchip will be mulched with everything else that gets dug up, pulled out, or cut down during works Next will some minor drainage and landscaping maintenance up one side of the house, where the fuse box, AC, and solar stuff will go, about 12 mtrs long by 2 meters wide, I'll break up the soil, add gypsum and then I'll dig in a French drains about 300mm deep x 300mm wide and fill it with agg pipe and blue metal, then level out the whole area with a 50mm layer of blue metal, the soil, whilst currently pretty compacted, will break up well with the gypsum to aid in drainage, I'll then cover the area with a 50mm layer of more blue metal In saying this, the drainage issue is minor, but that little hidden away area down the side is untidy and weedy, and as all of the main elec stuff is there I want it neat and tidy to appease my OCD Again, the material excavated from the French drains with be added to the garden bed mulch, as will some rose bushes and some other crap looking garden plants, and a old apricot tree that is looking worse for wear The apricot tree is currently in a little roundish garden bed that is in the middle of the back yard with few other crappy looking plants around it, that will all be removed, levelled, re-turfed, and is a perfect spot for a hills hoist There is also a area about 3m x 2m between the rear fence and shed that will get some attention, it looks like some stuff was stored there and the grass is dead, that will also get broken up and mulched, and is a prime spot for a pumpkin patch I've guestimated that I'll need: 3 tonnes of blue metal, 12 meters of agg pipe, 5kg of Gypsum, and a hills hoist, so a few bags of concrete as well to set it in place (the house currently has one of those pull out 4 line jobs, whilst it works, I want a retro old school hills hoist), I am also going to run some chickens, there's a great spot for a coop, so a chicken coop to suit 4 of those lovely egg laying bitches will also be on the job card That should keep me busy for a while, and will finish off the back yard ready for a early spring planting of some veggies and berries  Once the main effort is done I'll start out the front, there's a large rock garden that could use some TLC, but that is only minor works Should be fully moved in within 2 weeks, the landscaping works will start then Fun times, retirement is good  
    • It happens, that's what your single stage filler is used for.  If it is still visible after the 3 coats of 2k primer, it will be visible after the paint is laid down.  Its hard to give 100% perfect advice without being there in person, I'm very tempted to say stop where you are, fill your pin holes with a single stage putty first then keep going. 
    • New or used transmission? Alignment will be the same with engine running or not. If new, i'm presuming it's a clutch release bearing size issue. If used, are you certain it's a CD009/A and not an older CD008 or less? They had known synchro issues. In my opinion, these transmissions should always be purchased new, they're dirt cheap and you avoid dealing with old revisions.
