Are the tips of the compressor vanes bent or is that just a stain?

PS: hopefully, there is not axial play. |
I'm really thinking to buy another chinacharger and disassemble this one just to find out if any of the garrett journal rebuild kits are compatible with this one
|
They are.
|
why would you want to do that vs just buying a used journal garrett needing a rebuild?
I have nothing against chinachargers, but if I was sinking brand name money into a rebuild kit I'd be doing it to a brand name turbo and know that both will work with each other. |
^truth. Particularly when you consider how cheap used Garretts are.

Yeah, that's a new spud, they are just as expensive here, and that's a ball bearing unit, I was talking about a journal bearing garrett, there a tons of those, and they are cheap both here and there.

I really like how it's running the engine with this chrubo, it has a very high top end, and I prefer to mantain car as it is I also did several sixth gear pulls with no issue at all, maybe I've found the perfect turbo for NB's? :jerkit: |
Ebc done.
Tomorrow I will test the ALLOFIT button https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPqE...ature=youtu.be |

it works!!!
https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1411580328 For the test I unscrew the waste actuator down to 5.8 psi: the allofit button rise the pressure to 7.5 psi almost instantly I laughed a lot while driving, other people may thought I was mad :giggle: next step is to make it on a board and set it to 8 psi normally and 12 psi with "allofit switch" :hustler: |
I forgot the source:
19.5 Hz test: 40 Hz test: |

Back to work to find a massive manifold leak
https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1412602330 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1412602330 This will be replaced with a 2.5" dynomax turbo muffler https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1412602330 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1412602330 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1412602330 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1412602330 Here it is! https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1412602330 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1412602330 I have to shave all... |
Yikes. to destroy a MLS gasket like that you had to have stretched a stud or two, or the surface wasn't straight to begin with.

I'm thinking to shave and leave without gaskets, it shoud works did exists inconel bolts+studs? |
I was also advised against using a gasket there for that very reason. I've got mine bolted with hardware that cost me a total of under $20 and its been holding. I'd see signs of a leak on my manifold but nothing.
By the way I'd replace some of the clamps you have for your charge pipes. T-Bolt are the best but some of those really thin worm drives you have are not good at all for boost. |
Also: ironically, "turbo" mufflers are not good for turbos. You want a large, straight through muffler. The turbo-labeled mufflers have chambers and bends inside which are not good for turbocharged vehicles.
