Isn't a .57 trim from drift motion is it? Also too much play I suspect?

Here is a link to the turbo on my car. It's supposed to be a ct26 57 trim from drift motion. Looks like a stocker about to go out to me...:nono:

It's a stock wheel and looks like it will need to be replaced down the road. Is it scraping the housing or leaking any oil? If it boosts fine and doesn't scrape or leak then it should be good to go until it dies. I just received DM's upgrade... it has the 57 trim wheel. Typically, a 57 trim wheel is a 6 blade wheel and has an inducer size of 2.23" in a T04E.

remember 1 thing
when your play gets to bad and begins to rub on housing
all those metal shavings will be entering your cylinders(not good lol)

I'm just pissed I was told it was a 57 trim drift motion. I was told a few things dishonest about the car. So now where to go from here? I had planned on 400+.whp Supposedly built motor. Pulling valve covers to make sure it has the arp studs it's supposed to have.

Being pissed off doesnt really help anything. On the other hand people suck and they are dishonest. It happens all the time. Make sure next time you see receipts or proof of the build.

As long as the wheel isnt scraping the housing a little bit of play is fine. Going to need to be replaced but you should have some time.

Well since I don't have the AFM or injectors I guess I'll skip the afm and go bigger injectors with maftpro. Might as well go t4 on the turbo as you can't really go much bigger than the ct26 57 and have it bolt right up. I just hate that the guy was totally dishonest.

I won't chance keeping that turbo going out on me. So I'll upgrade now.

You can get bigger bolt on turbos...

smart man
i ran my 3sgte ct26 for a while with shaft play like what you are experiencing
didnt keep an eye on shaft play(like i should of done)
long story short...i tore motor down for a rebuild after about 6 months lol
for some reason my piston rings werent so happy with me lol

I thought the biggest was the ct26 .61 on the stock manifold?

not saying to go with this turbo...i read this thread from start to finish(yes i get bored a lot lol)
most said it was bolt on but had some issues/fabrication

 

[hvyman]

On te ct yes. But you can get a sp57 and other turbos that will bolt on.

 

[Albert]

yeah biggest is 60-1.

 

[Dan_Gyoba]

A 60-1 wheel in a stock CT26 housing, yes.

I have a 60-1 turbonetics which is bolt-on, and there are the BOSS turbos which are also bolt-on, and I believe can be as large as you might want.

There's a big thing called an intercooler in the way... most of the time it catches all the crap.

 

[jonahs_supra]

I had a big fmic but it didn't help keep metal shavings out lol

 

[3.0 beast]

thats messed up man i hate when people arent honest about what their selling but yeah thats definetly not a 57 trim from drift motion because i bought one and thats definetly a stock ct26... but it seems like it will last u a bit longer....also on the topic of the 60-1 i hear those arent to reliable as in the go out to fast??

I thought the oil filter would filter all that stuff out lol

 

[Devin LeBlanc]

Not going into your intake. At the shop we have seen plenty of compressor wheels let go and im sure 99% of the metal got caught in the intercooler side tank. the 1% that makes it through isnt going to be damaging.

 

[yongai27]

Ooooo i seee

Who uses Intercoolers now a days? Its all about running inline MAFs in your charge piping
