Hey guys,

im thinking of picking up a journal bearing 6262SP for my s2000, but many people have said that the PTE lineup has alot of failures and start to blow the seals almost instantly, just wondering how your guys expiriences have been with the billet journal bearing PTE products?

 

I havent had any issues with my sc34 on my DD. A few years back I heard a lot of bad things but now days they have really stepped their game up! Their products are SO much better now. You will be fine...get the 6262. Awesome unit!

 

i am running a sc61 turbo b18c1 and put 3000 mile since built. turbo still have no shaft play of any damage. pushing 14psi as a dd. think you should be good. just order from the company so you get a good warranty on it.

 

i know of atlest 1 6262 that blow up localy probly more but i know of atlest 1

 

More then likely user error and not something wrong with the unit itself. Almost certain because Precision has REALLY come a LONG way the past couple years!

 

Even I have to admit, I'm very impressed with the newer lineup. Better attention to detail. I just finished with working on a 6765 this week.











I'll have a full write up of my impressions later in another thread so as not to take this one over

 

Shodan,

i know you are a resident turbo guru, wondering what you suggest, according to PTE they suggest that everyone uses a -4 feed line, but with my application (s2000) my oil pressure can reach 100psi at certian times which i would assume is more than enough to "blow seals" i was thinking of running a -3 feed with an ATP .065 restrictor, that way i know im not over feeding the turbo, and ill be using a -10 drain, just wondering what your thoughts are on this....

 

Have had 2 different SC61 varients and now on a 6265 billet... put plenty of miles on all of them with no issues and only reason I ever sold was to upgrade or changed my setup. Precision has always done well by me so far.

I know of a couple other locals on Precision units ranging from early SC34's to new 6765 billet, all have also had good results from them.

 

I would stay with the -3AN feed line, and have the restrictor READY, meaning, don't put it on quite yet until you know the actual oil pressures that you're getting. You can always add the .065 if its too much pressure without allowing oil to blow by the rear pistonsealing ring. As long as the -10AN line doesn't use any 90 degree angle elbow fittings you'll be fine. So, only add the restrictor if needed, but go ahead and get it anyway.

Precision typically bases their decisions on standard oil pressures under 70psi at wide open throttle, and not as high as those with Hondas. They can only give certain recommendations because they can't possibly know all of the oil pressures of every make and model car who they sell to; its best to leave it to the owner.

 

i had an sc34 on my car for 5 years and never smoked (well my engine did but thats another story lol). turbo is still running strong on another car to this day.

got a 6265 that is going on soon, and i have no worries.

 

thanks so much for all the help guys, i will definatly be buying one asap, should be a nice upgrade from my 35r

 

As vendors, we sell tons of Precision turbos and have a lot of experience with them. Being that they are engineered for performance and durability we have seen high success and low failure rates with precision.

 

As stated above, you can not go wrong with this choice. I'm just your regular garage/street tuner but I've had experience between the garret, precision, and turbonetics. Not to bash another company but Turbonetics will not recieve another dime from me. I've had several different situtions that put me in a bad spot with cars that I've worked on.Replaced with Precisions= FIXED

 

had my Precision SC52 for 3 weeks on my K20z3 and its blowing hella smoke. dont know if its because i have one of their older models.

and yes my feed and return are mint...

 

What kind of manifold do you have? Also, does the turbo have a water inlet and outlet?

 

full race manifold, journal bearing oil cooled only

 

Ah yes the infamous full-race smoking turbo kit. Does the smoke go away when you're driving or on a slight downhill?

The full-race kit is a great kit and has awesome quality. The one thing on the K-series is the turbo angle. Because it's tilted back slightly at an angle this will cause the turbo emit some smoke after standing at idle or when on a hill sloped down to the rear of the car. Nothing you can really do, but to put your mind at ease its no the turbo going bad.

 

its not at idle, or when driving around NOT in boost. only when im in boost. after i do a run or drive in boost for a little bit, stop at a traffic light and you just see the heavy smoke puff out the back of my car. BTW its on a 2008 Civic Si, so i dont know if what you were talking about applies to my car. its not the sidewinder manifold.

 

My car is doing exactly that, it's the valve seals...

 

Yeah my mistake. It's on the sidewinders. Could be the valve seals like 95 said. How is the crankcase ventilation set up on the car?
