Just a note regarding the engine mount inserts. I noted recently that on Porsche 996 and Boxsters that it has been dyno proven that stiffer engine mounts were causing the stock ECU's to pull timing as they thought they were seeing detonation. Maybe not so much of an issue with your N54s and much more modifiable ECU's. Just an interesting thing I had noticed and thought I'd pass on

My understanding is in a high heat twin turbo setup, a better balanced "even" wheel setup should always be used, as the balancing tolerances can be "looser;" so in an 11 blade application the weight distribution isn't even across the inner bearings that is used, whether its journal bearing or ball bearing. My understanding is that most China turbo's run a journal bearing, and with heat, the bearing gets additional play, just the nature of how it works, and in some Subaru applications this can cause the compressor blade to droop down in the compressor housing, and sometimes enough to make contact with the compressor housing, causing it to chip away, or break. This is a problem that was fixed when ball bearings became common. A prime example of this is when you hear about bearing play on turbos, if you look at the "acceptable" amount of play on a turbine shaft between a journal bearing, and a ball bearing, there is a significant difference. If these chinese turbo's are based on a ball bearing turbo design (from an aftermarket turbo place;) which some are, they won't have enough clearance in the castings, or design to allow for what is required of a journal bearing turbo. So, if you ever look at a journal bearing based turbo next to a ball bearing based turbo, you'll see the clearance between the compressor cover is significantly different between them. This is the primary danger of China turbo's. So on the flip side, the reason why the 6+6 design is typically better, and less prone to failure is due to the way the weight distribution works on a spinning shaft, sprung mass is VERY important, sometimes on the 6+6 you'll find that one of the blades is smaller, and is further away from the compressor cover, and the primary blade is also a bit smaller than a primary blade on a 11 blade. This usually completely removes the problem with the China turbo. Another thing to note is that some people bore out the compress cover near the highest point of the blade, i'm not one of them, but some people swear by better performance, and better turbo spooling due to less turbulance of the wheel, no idea on the truth of that, nor on whether its a placebo, or whether its from the same minds that brought us "fill the oil til its flush with the top of your oil filler neck;" but either way, if you upgrade your turbo's, might be worth trying?

Upgrading the thrust bearing is probably a good idea (Turbolab America does this mod). A good balancing job will help with durability too.

Disassemble the turbo chra housing and see how much coking is on the turbo shaft, best guess is the turbo wasn't fully balanced and that caused it to seize up and ruin the bearing and seals; pushing oil through the seals and into the exhaust. I did this on my 2JZ :(
@beradycavs3 жыл бұрын
Apparently a failed PCV system can cause the seals to fail. The block needs a bit of vacuum to actually suck the oil down the drain tubes. The common problem is just smoking but if the turbos are low quality the seal could play an even bigger role in supporting the shaft Good luck and double check your PCV both ways

From my assessment when purchasing these 17T-19T and 6 blade is the better route. That's being said I also believe that there needs to be a chra inspection and rebuild if necessary due too the Chinese manufacturers holding back on upgrades their well aware of...dual porting thrust bearings, rubber seals, bearing etc Before even installing on vehicle. The turbo labs rebuild kits seems to be a remedy to the ebay turbo options. I'd actually do a thorough break down of the internal chra..to see if upgrade parts were offered in this case..I suspect that there old know failure parts. So for the performance oriented purchasers. Rebuild the Chinese Turbo before installing them for more preferred reliability.. even 6 blade compressors wheel chra's...my two cents..from the peanut gallery.. lattas

That’s really crap you got blocked before he helped you work out why they failed. What was it that caused them to fail did you ever work it out. Something I think Shawn’s struggles to work out with some customers is why they fail. Please let us know the full list you had them setup on. Might help others avoid the problem. I am yet to find a set that have failed due manufacturing issues. I have seen 2 now where they have had bad boost leaks and owners didn’t realise, but before Shawn helps them he work it out he gets tired of trying to help them. Just to simplify the above, if they were working and then failed, what condition did you put them through to cause them to fail? What I see the most is boost leaks and due to how these work, if they are running excessive wgdc due to a leak they will melt much quicker than smaller turbos. These things get hot and when you see the power they make you can understand why.

Not a particularly great thought process. Intake flow for the wheel doesn't cause any additional stress unless it's over spun, which at 18 down to 15psi it wouldn't. Most it'd do is possibly choke the car out, as the turbo can't suck enough air in to provide desired boost. Which would be seen in the WDC acting abnormally.

My car drank Castrol edge 5w40 like it was going out of fashion. Much of that residue is probably just burnt up oil additives. The black residue in the turbo could be metal. Could have been an oil starvation issue local to the turbo causing thrust fail and contact. Garrett I recall recommended filling turbos with a special moly grease during assembly to prevent starvation on first start. I would try a different engine oil if it was drinking it and I would give it a walnut blast if it hasn’t had one because a decent chunk of carbon could probably damage a wheel like that.

So until they are actually backed by a decent company, for now they are just generic cheap china turbos. Remember they still supply these with fake photo copied balance sheets, they are still trying to manipulate/deceive their customers. There is very little regulation on a national level on Chinese manufacturing, so if the products are not being sold by a reputable company, you must exercise caution when looking at cheap china products." - you said it and thats exactly the point, by conveniently calling these as "chinese company" or "indian companies" or whatever instead of naming these company specifically to hold them accountable gives a very false impression that all chinese companies are suspects - be it praise or reprimand, its the company that should be named and bore the responsibility, IMO ... if you choose to buy and test products from these "shadow" companies, then you should be even more careful in naming these culprits directly instead of simply addressing them as "chienese" giving the impression that they are representative of chinese made products - doing this will be very unfair to those real chinese companies that are honestly trying hard to convince the world that they can make genuinely good products too - mind you the there are many chinese turbo companies and the turbo in most chinese made cars including bmw, mercs, audis have their suppliers in china ... the same should be applied to all products-companies from all countries to avoid misinformation and false impressions - its good that OZ has good reg to control product quality but it is no stranger to products of sub-quality as well such as contaminated health supplements including fish oil, super food etc that are sold all over the world by some big name ozzie companies - every country has its own crooks ... btw love your vids on your n54 adventure - brilliantly informative and great stuffs - do thank you for that ...

@@ajs-qv5fe everyone around the world knows that products from China aren't exactly top notch a lot of the time. You're taking a huge gamble buying equipment that requires such tight tolerances from a Chinese company, they are known to cut corners and provide terrible customer support to cut costs. They are more about quantity not quality. And then on top of it almost no consumer protections, especially for those outside of China.
