Turbine not spinning at Idle..
Every turbo I have ever looked at spins while the car idles.. I have a SFP manifold with an SC61. I happened to glance down today and noticed that the turbine was still..I gave it a little gas and it picks right up. Its probably normal but I just want to make sure..Flames welcome..

Re: Turbine not spinning at Idle.. (1FastCoupe)
seen this before a few times, its normal that turbo is huge and needs alot of air to push it so at idle most of the time it wont move if you are running a stock motor

Re: Turbine not spinning at Idle.. (zeroice)
its a fully built motor:
cp 9:1
eagle rods
full ferrea head
I figured it was normal too but wasnt sure considering I havent seen that before..

if you have a b16 it probably wont spin at all. remember 9:1 compression doenst move as much air as a 10.5:1 motor. by being built he meant cams and head work most likely to increase air flow over stock

i dont care what anyone says in regards to the size of a turbo or not.,...
all turbos SHOULD spin at idle
they SHOULD not have any kind of friction or drag on them
a turbo will spin even with very little air from idle....
this is a topic that has been discussed locally at many shops because of this internet threads
a good designed turbo, the wheel no matter what will be on the path of the exhaust flow, and even at little volume, it will cause it to spin

Re: (USDM 4G VTEC)
so you mean to tell me a gtq turbine wheel in a .81ar t4 housing attached to a 71mm compressor wheel will spin at idle on a stock stroke b16? hahahahahaahahahahahaha

Your right I should have searched I appoligize but I assumed it was a rare incident.I hate seeing many re-posts.With the littlest bump of throttle it spins.. If the RPM's were a little low like 600 maybe this would cause not enough air to turn it. The block by the way is a gsr 81.5mm..I greased the compressor with Lithium Grease so that spins pretty freely..J/K

i think most BB turbos spin at idle, those are like butter to turn.

Re: (wantboost)
Actually...my GTS71 .81 spins at idle and my GTS74 .81...about 1K RPM. Once the oil is warmed up it will spin for atleast 20-30 secs after shut-off. I would be worried if it didn't spin at idle...especially after being warmed up.

It takes about 1k rpms to make it spin but the car idles lower at about 600rpms which I know is too low..Is there a way to make sure the turbo is getting enough oil? I think my main concern was the amount of oil it's getting and hoping this wouldn't be the cause..Its hooked to a -3an line comming out of the GE plate. Also the drain line isn't perfectly straight down infact it sort of comes back up a bit before the pan. Just want to make sure that oil wouldn't be a cause although most people are saying theirs doesn't spin a idle either.

you need to do something about that oil return ASAP. the last you you want is to buy a new turbo prematurly due to oil backing up and letting the seals go.
the turbo not spinning at idle, thats fine... oil return going down and then back up, not fine.
