What would cause damage like this? It's a jb garrett

The compressor wheels signicantly hit the compressor housing then locked up and is unable to turn under regular force.

 

Bad thrust bearing? Allowing the wheel to shift forward?

Just a wild guess from someone who knows very little about turbos... lol

 

What he said and most likely worn journal bearings time for a rebuild

 

The compressor housing looks ok, as long as a lot of material isn't gone and there aren't any gouges it should be fine.

it will need a new compressor wheel... and obviously a new bearing system/rebuild kit.

depending on the damage to the turbine shaft, since it locked u and could de damaged/scored or heat checked it might need to be replaced as well.

It looks like one of TheShodans turbos so ask him. until it's disassembled we can't say anything for sure.

 

the compressor housing does have significant scoring from the blades. can it be re used?

 

What turbo is it? Looks like a billet wheel?

 

Observant u are friend

 

Ok what turbo is it

 

Housing definitely looks useable, but I would not buy this turbo if thats what you are inquiring about

 

Is this it?

 

Why are we sitting here playing guessing games? OP, answer simple questions, get a simple answer. Keep dragging it out like this, and you're only going to make people disregard you faster.

 

i agree with wantboost you need a new compressor wheel and new bearings and possible new compressor housing.
if your turbo has ball bearings, you need a new turbo (or new cartridge, compressor wheel and comp housing, that means better get a new turbo)

and aslo i agree this secrecy with your turbo is stupid, they only ask to find out if it is a journal or ball bearing turbo

also with a bearing kit (if it is journal) you can use the same compressor wheel and housing but expect much lower flow. I dont know how much, depends on the housing-wheel clearence.

 

If I knew what kind of turbo I would have posted it, in the original post.

My buddy emailed me asking me so i threw it up here to see what you all think.

I just wanted to see if I could confirm the whole thing is toast.

Thanks

 

good luck at rebuilding it

 

He nor I will attempt to rebuild it. What you think this is my first day...


Maybe a little gtx action is in order

 

thats even better...

 

Only problem is the 1900$ price tag.

 

I've been in touch with TheShodan, we both agree, the turbo isn't totally shot.... It can be repaired.

He'll be contacting you shortly if he hasn't already
