lol I'm very interested in reasons of their bent turbine shaft.

I also had that that problem when we first making roller bearing CHRAs years ago, well thats due to the tolerances left between the sleeves for heat expansion. After we calculated and left the shaft sleeves with correct tolerances the shaft stopped bending and every thing worked as usual.

I've followed abit of their thread and looks like some thing technically not 100% at this stage.

There was an issue with the rear wheels not being built to spec, the wheels would grenade taking the shaft with it. They have moved to a different factory which builds the wheels to spec and apparently has no issue.

Stao, are you sure you don't know the thread size for the oil line fitting in the turbo?? I've been all over the place today trying to find someone who can tell me what thread this is, but so far nobody has found a perfect match. The closest I have got is 1/4 JIC to 3/8 UNO, which looks ALMOST the same but only gets about 3 threads in before it starts to bind.

Does anyone have one of Stao's dash 4 oil lines that you could measure the turbo end fitting for me with, I'm so sick of driving all over the place :(

Turbo oil thread is M10x1.25, water is stock size which is M18x1.5, engine end fitting is M12x1.25

About turbine wheels. they are normally friction welded to the shaft so turbine wheel and shaft are 2 pieces. The wheels are wax casted, if the shape is not uniform then it would not balance.

Materials they are generally steel or inconel (tinny percent) mixed steel. Most of performance wheels are inconel mixed or rarely titanium.

Wheels just spins, pushing or pushed by air, it won't explode unless they have large air bubbles or some thing like that. They normally explodes when bearing collapse causing wheels striking into its housings at high shaft speed. Most of that energy will be absorbed by the shaft so it bents or twist.

It looks like BW have done very little real R&D on the turbos to be honest. Looking like the stuff was dreamed out on paper and sent to their mfg supplier for immediate production.

Beta's hit clients cars before they were tested properly, something I feel FR may have been entrusted with by BW... Afterall there is a big relationship between BW and FR in all the original paraphernalia for the units.

Stao you should really try get your hands on some lightweight turbing wheels. It would be very interesting.

FYI there is an MHI MR turbo that has a very weak front wheel, it is a lightwheight model and a very high failure rate.

Every thing must be fully tested, and evaluated. Half of my new/old designs don't work when comes to testing, however they should work on paper.

Even dyno proven they needs to be trailed through various of hash driving, then gets pulled apart making sure nothing abnormal happens to its components before I can sale it and quote on a "rwkws" it makes.

Also only knowing this turbo works is not enough, We also trail what a specific turbo behaves if its not installed correctly or did not have correct mods. Those information can guide customers if an issue occurs.

For us building and selling turbos is not "only" building and selling turbos.

Regarding to turbine wheels I can get them made out of titanium, which weights 30% less. But it comes with a very high manufacturing cost, and I don't know if I can sell them at a high price thou.

You would have a basic idea on what will work without breaking though yeah?

Just remembered. I have a pair of broken 2860-5s sitting here. What are the options on having them re-cored. The wheels look ok. Bearings are stuffed though

After all those years of testing and evaluations We've developed a very solid bearing setup. I can high flow them with G1 or G2s CHRA which works well, or we can use the new SS1PU's CHRA and see what they can do in those housings.

Cheers just have too see if it is feasible to mount them on the motor (not going on an rb26) Scott you will like the idea ;)

Stao. I would be after the best reponse possible

LOL believe it or not I think it is an idea I have toyed with myself. Mine involved a little adapter plate and some die grinding ;)

I gave it up once I thought about intake plumbing.. that side of it sucked.

Hey Stao any idea what he -5 CHRA matches with? On paper it looks like a GT2860RS spec CHRA from memory....

I bet you have lol

Piping may be.....tricky lol

Would've liked -7s or even sr spec gt-ss' etc. might do some research on 517z cores and how similar the wheel sizes are

They are very similar to a RS on a .64 rear. reminds me when I first trailed the SS1PU with a .64 rear housing which made 23psi by 2800RPMs and maxed 266rwkws. By lowering the engine capacity I think it has a pretty good chance of making the power with crazy response.

Possibly as a twin but not on a Nissan motor

Looking at that graph though. Might be worth running just one but with a larger t3 flanged turbine housing

I'd be after bulk torque from 3000-6500

Yea if engine capacity decreases then that would be same as the above turbo with a larger turbine housing. And with two of them they will make almost twice amount of power as a single.

Will still be a 2.5L motor

I'll have a hunt for a housing to suit that is t3 and internal gate with the normal Garrett 5 bolt outlet as I may have something in the garage that will work

If you run above as a twin on a 2.5L then that would be 1.25L per turbo. Which I think a .64 is too big, need to run a .49 size.

I can supply you a SS1PU in a T3 with 5 bolt Garrett pattern to run as single on a 2.5L, is that same pattern as T28 or the GTR?. Dynosheet of that on the Rb25det is

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
