Broken pistons.




They haven't fixed themselves yet....lol.





Well at least you now know that it's NOT the turbo......which was obvious enough to anyone with sufficient experience.

 

Now I think you're just trolling. Get a grip on reality, the damn pistons aren't broken... when will this BS end. You realize that multiple folks that bought these specific turbos have had this issue right only to be fixed by properly eliminating excess crank case pressure. I suppose all their pistons are broken as well.

You add nothing here but, go around spreading nothing but horse crap in people's threads, most of the time folks just ignore your crap but enough is really enough. Please just stop.

OP get it back together yet? Are you running the lines out to a Dual CC set up?

 

Well, now you're just getting sucked in.

I'm sure it's possible that one person is right and everyone else, with their years of experience are wrong.
It's also possible that the world is flat, though.... hey... wait a minute....

If he keeps at it, he may eventually be right. God help us when that happens

 

Yeah, if it was just all of us "chewing the fat", all agreeing w/ each other, what fun would that be?

 

He is just adding noise. Please ban. K thanx.

 

Soooo took an unexpected turn. While my turbo was out being repaired I found a good local deal on a 6466. So I bought it along with an ets standard placement kit. So won't have any updates for a couple weeks. Car just been sitting... sucks

 

On a stock shortblock?

 

Thats going to move the powerband to the right pretty far.Most keep the stock block around 8000 for longevity but some have pushed more. May also want to delete the Balance shafts if you plan to spin it over 8000 alot.

Something should start happening around 5000-5500rpm or so. Should be fun when its on but street driving and light to light may not be as fun . If you were set on going to a larger turbo a 5858 BB is a great choice for a stock block . Party is going to start around 4500 or so. Its basically a Red with a larger housing . Some have even made 700whp max effort with them on a built engine. Its going to be a bit more responsive then a 64MM turbo on a 2 liter.

You may want to create a checklist and check it twice for getting the 6466 on with supporting mods .

 

Yeah the plan is to buy a buschur block early next year.. there's a couple locals who have ran the 6466 on stock blocks and enjoy it. I don't plan to rev more than 8k at the time being.

 

On the bright side, you could finish your cup of coffee while you wait for it to spool. That way you don't spill it.

 

On the bright side I'll have my turbo setup complete a big piece checked off the list

 

Haha you just made me spill my coffee

OP- since you have been having all these issues wouldn't it be wise to put it back together with the Red and make sure all is well before you start swapping parts? Just a thought...

 

Lol. Probably would be a lot more wise! You are correct.

I figured the red has more value being freshly back from FP

 

Yeah after I posted that I was thinking about it and that was the only conclusion that I came to in regards to the value of the turbo after the fact so I understand that.

I just hate to see when something funky is going on with a car and then money is thrown at it left and right buying parts in hope to fix it. Not saying this is the case here just seems like the best approach is to eliminate as many variables as possible and get it back to a state where you know the combination previously worked.

 

If you don't mind dealing with it until you build the motor, then yeah. I definitely see your point. Until then...meh.
