well thanks for deleting my other post

the explanation given for the dead turbo from ( forum sponsor ) was insufficient oil supply ( yeh right )

lines were ok he says as he made me send them but he blaming my engine which is the tightest rb20 anyone has every seen and has oil changes every 5,000klms and also uses slick 50

always an excuse on their behalf,,

asif the bearing didnt faill then there was lak of oil cos it was in my exhaust

so no warranty wat a suprise

after paying for the turbo waiting 8 weeks saying it was direct bolt on then the day i receive it a write an email sayin the wastegate did not seal was atleast 1-2mm gap from housing, his explanation oh after 2 or 3 power runs it will seal up yeh rite ! and that day then telling me my oil lines need modyfing wtf

everything was done correct everything, so lets blame the engine to void warranty, even thou the engine has never had 1 part fail ever and was running great until the turbo change..

what a sponsor hay

is there no offer of parts warrenty? im not sure of the condition of your motor etc, but i did remember u stateing that u went gcg and other turbos, all failed, now u put on a slide turbo and it failed also, the slide is the 3rd-4th turbo fitted, id be looking somewhere else also :), this is the first failure that ive read about on a slide turbo failing. im not taking sides, just giving an outsiders opinion

I think it only right for me to show the report given on the turbo in question.

I do not appreciate threats and public defamation.

This is the first failure of its kind in over 800 highflowed turbo's.

The only other failure on one of these highflows was a faulty thrust bearing and the turbo WAS covered under warranty for a member on this forum.

The cartridge journals are bronzed.

This tells me that at one stage there has been no oil surrounding the bearings and caused the shaft to spin the bearings with no oil in them and has sheered off a layer of metal from the bearings and bruised the inside of the cartridge.

The shaft is bruised and where the bearings lay you can clearly see in this picture that they are scortched.

This is the result of no oil being fed into the bearings or could have been the result of reving the engine alot before the oil preasure has built up for the first time and starved the bearings.

There is also scoring on the shaft which would suggest dirty oil.

The bearings are scortched and bruised due to the lack of oil as you can see in this picture.

Both bearings are the same.

The Thrust is completely shattered and has spun.

This is caused by no lubrication.

The bearing oil collars are all fine so if the oil was being fed into the turbocharer there would have been no problem.

On all turbines we use a Z or zero gap oil ring.

This is purple in colour now and also sugests no oil lubrication.

The housings can still be used after a bit of machining but the entire cartridge setup has been destroyed with the wheels and shaft.

I would think that the only reason your current turbo is alive is that it is ball bearing and does not require great oil preasure to lubricate the bearings.

The failure of the turbo is not the cause of faulty internals or assembly of the turbocharger and subsequently not covered by warranty.

Postage of the item was paid for by myself and was specified to be delivered by registered post.

The repair costs of this turbo is $500

is this the third thread about the same issue now? your other threads where not deleted, they were closed. you were blamming the fail on th turbo before it was even tested

tightest rb20 anyone has every seen and has oil changes every 5,000klms

Everyone who is trying to blame an engine failure on some one else or some thing else always says there engine was the best and they took the best care of it blah blah blah. Sure you may have taken care of it, we cant prove you didnt.. But if this was all because of the turbo, why is yours the only one thats had a problem like this, I think all the feedback that has been given to slide in threads and in his feedback section shows that you cant sit there and blame him for this..

with the amount of money aaron has made from the quality and success of these turbos, i doubt hes trying to jip you for a lowsey $500...

Sorry, i really didnt want to have to say this, but.....

blaming my engine which is the tightest rb20 anyone has every seen and has oil changes every 5,000klms and also uses slick 50

Has it been rebuilt lately?

How do you know its "Tight"?

Motors fail. Thats life. And things break. Dont believe me?

Read this thread

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...st&p=944864

I had an RB26DETT fail, which was warmed up and cooled down meticulously every time its driven by me and the last owner, and guess what? It wasnt showing ANY sign whatsoever of imminent failure before it happened. Engines dont last forever. Now you're probably going to tell us your car has a genuine 50,000k's or so, never thrashed, and was well looked after in Japen etc.

then telling me my oil lines need modyfing wtf

But i dont understand, you said at one point you were a paid mechanic?

Do you seriously not understand these things need PROPER lubrication to stay working unlike ball bearing?

everything was done correct everything,

You know how i know you're wrong there?

Your turbo is in bits, with burn marks from lack of lubrication, and there are over 800 working without issue.

Come on seriously, take a step back, you've had a number of turbos fail.....public slandering of the maker wont help you get this fixed.

as fot the other turbo failing this was 3 years ago on another car fitted by sum1 else so yeh

my car must be fair healthy to rev to 9500 every day on 17psi constantly and has done 60,000klms with me driving it this way

yes woh he bearing looks like its had lak of oil---how about the bearing was faulty crapped itself and had lak of oil due to it all going out my exhaust

no that couldnt be the reason

and $ is not the point all thou it was not $500

well if he is such a champ lets see if he refunds the postage as he says

and yes i would like my turbo back and my useless oil line as it will be going to bill from ats !

^^^^ thats hilarious 60,000klms has not missed a beat was stating a point by it nor does it use any oil at all,,it has been rebuilt properly !

that aside omg i rev my car so it has no oil pressure for the turbo wtf a lame excuse seriously

and as for slander, well actually it cant be classed as slander on a public forum like this..

slander is only wen you do it in obvious public places eg. owning your own tinting business and on your adds and business cards saying "we are soo better then johns tinting"

the whole "slander" angle is used to scare people into not saying bad things about a company or product.

just like you going to consumer affairs and telling the company that you spoke to them, its just tryin to scare them.

seriously, get a legal dictionary and look up "slander / deformation of character"

i mean sure, they COULD take you to court for sayin stuff on here, but if you have even a half decent lawyer or judge, the case would be thrown out.

peace

that turbo has clear markings of oil starvation.

I had a turbo fail for exactly the same reason...

Cause, low oil pressure on the car, not enough oil to the turbo, turbo starvation and the blue marks on the shaft are a direct result of poor oil supply.

seems its ok to bag a person on here but not a sponsor hay

freedom of speech

Deform, awesome. I'd get deformed into a ninja! WOOT!

Also, slide does good work. Mate of mine got a highflow a while back. Hasn't missed a beat and his car looks stock.

It sounds like you didn't hook it it correctly, it's not a stock turbo and clearly states the extra work involved. Looks like you should just be quiet and deal with this in private as nobody here is going to support you.
