Brand New Turbo Lasted Hour And A Half

[Slide]

The above information is completely incorrect.

These are not ball bearing highflows and must not have oil flow restrictions.

i never said the turbo was a bb unit i know its journal

Aaron from slide the day i got turbo delivered sent a link explaining oil lines needed modding, in link it says to redrill banjo fittings to 6 mm and banjo oring (end off line to 55 mm ) this was all done as specs showed, even thou i got told originally it was strate bolt on

just removed turbo, all lines seem sweet no blocks and the return line was not kinked

alot of oil in rear housing i cant see how it would of been a lack of oil,looks like too much lol, about 30mm of play in compressor and it has lost some edges, does not look good

i still think it was a faulty bearing/seal i mean it happens to car engines and many other things

cheers for all ideas soutions people

turbo will be sent back to aaron at slide first thing in morning so fingers crossed it will be fixed

Hmm sounds interesting as I am having issues aswell at the moment.

Just haven't driven the car for a while now till I can round up the money to pay for removing the turbo.

Till then I can't figure out whats wrong.

Keep us posted on how things. Interested to see what was the problem?

thanks for the correction. So only ball bearing units need a restrictor?

hhmm. Interesting.

yeh from what i have learnt in recent days yes bb have restrictors in lines and journal bearing ( plain ) need big oil flow

will keep updated, hopefully faulty part

im sure someone in a turbo shop will verify this but the oil feed has 2 holes to the core. each has a .05mm holes.

so clean oil lines are a must. it doesnt take much to block them.

anyway jeornal turbos need quite alot of oil. especaly hi flows,to keep the thrust bearing alive

this is why i ran a oil filter inline on the turbo oil feed line.

for $110 for the filter plus fittings its good insurance.

sounds like it definately had oil if it was pissing out the back of the car. really only leaves blocked oil drain, or faulty turbo.

This is something that should have been sorted out in private, not on a public forum. especially when there are so many unanswered questions. Now , whatever the outcome you have tainted Aarons reputation without giving him a chance to repair or replace if necessary. This is a guys business and livelyhood.

Suggest you dont post on the topic again and that moderators should have closed this thread as soon as a business name was mentioned.

Hay guys.. After waiting around 7-8 weeks after i payed my turbo from Sliding Performance arrived.

So that day installed it modded the lines (redrill bigger to 6mm as says) everthing else bolt on style, primed the turbo done everything properly (have done many many times)

drove car for few klms before full throttling it only on 6psi, all was good 100klms later turned boost to 12 psi was pulling like a jet and sounding like 1 real nice, half hour after this started blowing smoke at idle ? then as you take of was clearing out !

5 minutes after this it was just belowing,within the next 5 minutes looked like surrounding areas were on fire and there was literally sludge of oil out exhaust,had to put 3 litres of oil in to as light came on

DOES anyone think this could be faulty seal/bearing from factory ?

Anyone else had bad experiences with this guy ?

i contacted them strate away got car taken home on car trailer !

WHAT EVERYONE THINK ???????????

I have Slide's prototype "oversize" hi-flow on my car; first to be developed... been there for a good 10 months now right Aaron?

Still pulling strong; still screaming like a cat on fire... just like Aaron promised!

Aaron and SP are both great assets; top guy to deal with and will go to every extent to help you out with ANY situation. I can't reccomend his services enough.
