you could stop guessing and get a hydrocarbon test done, i had overheating issues, turned out to be a blown head gasket, hydro carbon test will tell you if any combustion gasses are entering the coolant system. from memory it cost me $20 and took a whole 5 minutes.

my turbo's at the post office collecting it tommorrow, ill post a comparison picture between a ct26 stock, 57trim and this T61. not sure how long till i get it inspected...

was speaking to my turbo builder, judging from the pics all the components are balanced before assembly(see how the exhaust wheel has been balanced but not the end of the shaft?) does not look to be balanced post assembly, which means they'res more potential for the balance to be off. based...

i've got retarded cooler piping (thanks to previous owner) it still got blown into the intercooler (gravity would have played a part as well)

when my ct26 let go 3 small shards of the compressor wheel snapped off after hitting the housing. i found all 3 in the side tank of the intercooler, luckily due to the design there was a ledge for them to get caught on.. I drove the car home gently maybe 500m and they made their way through...

Hi guys, im planning to take the "t61" to a turbo shop to have the balance checked as we don't know how precise their computer balance is, it may be "good enough" If anyone has ANY speculation on failure this turbo may incur / what i should ask the turbo re-builder please put it forward now...

+1 nice pictures :) can you please take a more direct picture to show us how the oil return line flange matches up to the bolt holes, im sure it can be drilled to suit. can you measure the outlet of the compressor housing? and the inducer size as well, the stock ct26 inducer is not 3" its...

oil feed? or oil feel & return?

I'm fitting my after market ECU and upgrading my fuel system while i'm at it then it will be towed to my tuners and i can provide dyno graphs when all finished, unfortunately the scope of this work is going to take the rest of the year. so i can provide fitting issues/oil line set-up only...

having said that black, will it bolt up to the factory hard lines? the one listed on the site is different... because im in a different country on the other side of the world might take 2-3 weeks for mine to arrive. :) does not look like it has coolant lines from this picture 1 hole usually...

my ct26 just sucicided... i dont feel like spending $$ on rebuilding it just to be back where i started. i will be ordering one either tomorrow or the day after... happy? :P i just did some calculations and this turbo looks to be a good match for the 7m, ill be interested to see how it...

yep, its the turbo, started to death whine coming home from the shops, still made boost but kept it off boost and limped it home. looks like ill be pulling it apart tommorrow! EDIT: Carnage pics. time for a bigger turbo... Compressor wheel is royally rooted. exhaust looks ok, the wheel is...

i'm prepared to test one out for the community, if it breaks then ill deal with it then! will most likely will be in a few months.

Valve guides replaced, all valves checked and cleaned, brain crower valve springs, new stem seals, shims adjusted, head repaired from corrosion, decked (block was decked aswell within RA spec) cosmetic MLS Headgasket, head crack tested, softness tested, 3 angle valve job, exhaust stud holes...

Hi, My 7m has been rebuilt 5000km ago (new rings, pistons, bearing, full valve job etc, turbo was not rebuilt.), everything is flawless with the motor, compression is perfect, car drives perfect and makes good power. today i was boosting up a hill, gave it a little stick in 2nd then 3rd, and...

shouldn't you have posted this in the tech section? yes there are differences, i cant list them all off the top of my head but some of the main diffrences are *GE pistons are higher comp *GE runs a distributor insted of CPS & coil packs *intake manifolds are sometimes different (not...

sounds like an issue i had with my W58, had pedal pressure but the clutch was not being disengaged %100, it was very hard to get in and out of gear while the motor was running. turned out to be a worn slave cylinder causing air to enter the clutch line, as queenskid said id be checking the...

why don't you pm me insted, they'res a reason i changed my post.

fine what ever. i bet you amuse yourself.

what kind of AFR's are you seeing? How are you measuring them? narrorband/wideband? Are these on idle or under load/boost? [removed to make jdub happy]
