started disasembly tonight i decided to just take my turbo to a local shop for a rebuild it gives me that much money towards my new clutch

 

What happened?

 

according to his sig...blown turbo

 

Well there are many ways to blow a turbo

 

A metal piece from his Hahn intake came loose and hit the turbine and chewed it up real bad.

 

hey. that really sucks. what part of the intake came off?

if by chance you get the car up and running in the next month you should think about joining us at dave and busters for an awesome meet that is gonna go down

A piece that was not supposed to be in there in the first place. Apparently when they cut the hole for the breather fitting they did not make sure the metal piece they cut was removed. It came loose and got sucked in the turbine's blades and chewed them up badly.

 

How do you go about getting the turbo out of there anyways??? I know you will have to take the intake off, but then what else is involved???

Best of luck to you man!!! Bigger & better, right?

 

im finding out as i take it out i have taken several turbos in and out of all my buddies cars and they are gonna help me with mine as well hopefully i will have it out tonight but i have a pretty busy day with my buddy Brians car got to get body work finished on it

thanks for the support and unfortunetly for now im just getting the stock one rebuilt so i can get my clutch sooner too cause thats going aswell

damn i guess i dont even need to loggin anymore hahaha sounds like you got it covered thanks for keeping everybody informed for me

 

Best of luck with that man!!!

 

thanks alot i will post pics of the turbo when i get it out so you guys can see the damage

 

Are you going for huge HP or just a bit more hp?

 

well i could put this on

 

get the turbo ported and clipped. I've been wanting to see what a ss/tc would do with a ported and clipped turbo. Should move your powerband up a tad, but your top end would get pretty nasy. 400ft/lbs possibly?

 

Maybe, I am flowing nearly 38 lbs/min from my stock turbo. Made 338 whp SAE. at 6700 rpms.

 

yea, I saw your post in the dyno thread. Could be real interesting. I just know that DSM guys have used stock 14b turbo's that they ported and clipped and have gone mid 11's. Granted that's AWD, but their trap speed is like 116. No reason you guys can't trap higher. Might be able to eek out 40lb/min.

 

BTF's big wheel K04+ flows 40+lbs./min, but compressor surge issues are really hampering those setups.

 

go external wastegate. that would solve that problem.

 

I wonder If they make a external wastegate that fits the K04?

 

you can mount an external wastegate on your exhaust manifold. Just take it off and take it to a machinest to have the flange welded in place, then bolt down your wastegate. Shouldn't be too hard. At least that way you could keep the stock appearing turbo and get up to 40+lbs/min in flow. Would be a killer stock turbo setup. WAY better power band than some of these gt30 setups I've been seeing.

Plus it would keep you in a lower class depending on what kind of racing you do.

 

I really like the KO4 in that it makes full boost at only 2400 rpms with my mods, was 2700rpms stock, but it still breathes pretty well up top as well. I think once I get a bigger intercooler I might try pulling it to 7200 rpms to see if it can still breathe up there.

 

Yea, If I had a SS/TC, I'd probably go for the K04 just to say that I was still on the stock turbo. Way more impressive. I'd bet you could get pretty close to 120mph traps as well. No reason you couldn't go 11's on slicks with a good suspension setup.

 

Just need slicks and driver mod. Fwd launching>me

 

need suspension also

 

OTT rotated mounts also. What kind of suspension work would you suggest?
