[BP single kit] Compturbo died @ 6k miles; looking at replacements
 

Single BP kit with the Compturbo oil less unit. It died @ 6k miles despite living a simple, well maintained, easy life. They want $1200 to replace the CHRA and I don't feel like wasting any more time or money on their poorly engineered and badly warrantied products.

Spooler and Co. helped me get info from a member that has swapped over to a Precision Turbo 6870 1.32 unit as it bolts right up to the manifold without any modifications. I have irons in the fire to snag one but I'd like to hear if anyone else has ideas or info on other units that would work. It doesn't look like Garrett has anything that will be a direct bolt on solution.

I picked up an Exa pump and also a CJM oil pan with appropriate ports for an oil fed turbo. I think that should get me up and running but if you see anything I missed please let me know.

That is Solidus's turbo. His car runs very well. Jay at Realstreet helped him size it. Al's first pick was put back on the shelf after Jay saw what he had chosen. As for how his car runs, this turbo is spot on. Jay knows his chit. I wish I had someone help me choose mine. Sometimes you have to dare to be different.

That is my choice as of right now and I'll know more on Monday-ish about availability and price. :tup: I appreciate everyones help and all the info you guys have provided. :driving:

We will get your squared away.

You are the man. Anyone needing turbos, engine blocks or any other part? hit up Elmo, great guy all around. :tup:

Ahh shucks. Thank you for the kind words

:driving:

That's a pretty damn big turbo and housing, gonna be pretty laggy. I'd look at a GTX3582R Gen II I fit one up on my V2 kit.

It's not laggy per Solidus who already has one on his car. Our engines move a ton of air.

EW also moves a ton of air

It isn’t very laggy at all.

I’m interested in how this G series turbo will respond with the Bp kit

A few parts starting to come in.

That's where I was thinking about going. Looks like Garrett just released a 1.06 a/r T4 divided housing for the G35-900. Main concern is the Turbo speed sensor port might end up into the subframe.

Tossed the exa pump on. Used a few rivnuts to create the threads for bolts.

You’re ******** me. Please tell me this is false.

:iagree:

I just spent some coin converting everything over to vband.

They were my top choice but said they didnt have anything that would work out of the box. I had heard you had some customizing done to make one work on the manifold.

I will be surprised if they do that again. It was a giant pain in the butt.

Been doing some hard thinking on why your turbo failed. It's because you didn't change out the pilot bearing. :icon14:

They will do anything. You say I’ll pay you they say done.

:iagree:

:wtf2:

Sorry...

what those parts for kin folk?

:icon14::icon14:

Scavenge pump for pumping oil back into the pan. The turbo sits so low that it needs a hand flowing the oil back.

Mother faq’r, you’re banned for giving bad news lol

Let me know how it does! I'll probably make the switch after this season.

Not a good match for low boost (10psi)

Some more fun to be had.

My fingers are bleeding, just looking at that.

Ive been behind a desk for a while now-the once hardened hands are now pussy paws. There will be blood. :icon17:

wuss

100%

I’ve gotten better over the years, but the first time I plumbed a car with braided line, I ended up with more electrical tape on my fingers than the hose.

Tracking number for the broke dik piece of **** Compturbo showed up. Cant wait to hang that on the wall of shame with a nice engraved plaque.

Good news is tracking number for new turbo showed up also. :rock:

I want to take the POS apart and have a good look at it.
