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

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
