Got HTA GT3582FP turbo

So I had to clock turbo and I took it apart and I saw that there was no o-ring between these 2 parts.

Is it supposed to be that way or they just forgot to put it??
Thanks.

 

Slava,

Glad to see it arrived safely. I've forwarded your question to Forced Performance, and will have you an answer quickly.

 

what does this mean " So I had to clock turbo " .

im sure they sent the turbo the way its supposed to be.. why would they take an o-ring out?

 

No o-ring required, FP will tell ya the samething

 

I thought there should be one. I am not sure but my stock evo9 turbo had it.
They might have designed it this way but there will be 30PSI and it might leak because it is just 2 aluminum surfaces.

 

Thanks man. It arrived perfect i had some issues with customs but that is always same deal.

I already sent e-mail to FP techs.

 

Compressor outlet was not clearing cylinder block. That is why i had to clock it. It is normal procedure it just depends on which manifold you use. I never said they took it of i said that they might have forgot to put it during assembly.

 

I want your turbo in the worst way!

 

Slava;

VWJeff is correct.

Here is the response from Forced Performance, within three hours on a weekend:

The turbo uses a Garrett T4S compressor housing and seal plate setup. For reasons unknown to me or anyone else from what I have been able to gather over the years, Garrett did not incorporate an o-ring into the design of these parts. The T4E and T4B covers DO use o-rings for what that is worth.

Normally nothing is done about the parasitic leak that exists there (the parts fix quite tightly), but in applications where such parasitic leakage is unacceptable or results in fuel leakage I suggest red RTV sealant be applied between the cover and the seal plate adapter once final orientation has been determined within the engine compartment. Only a VERY small amount of sealant should be used. The seal plate adapter does use an o-ring where it seals with the bearing housing, so no extra attention is ever required there.

Best Regards

Forced Performance

Hope that puts your mind at rest.

 

Thank you very much. That helps allot. I contacted few other guys and it seems like garret did not used o-ring at all on new compressor housings.
Thanks for your help. And i will probably use some red hi temp sealant to stop parasitic leakage or i might make gasket if i wont be too lazy.

 

i honestly wouldn't even bother with it, it has an o-ring between the CHRA and smaller circle...and if you ever want to take the housing apart agian it's going to be a major pain
