up

 

its a big turbo and its non ball bearing. it might not spin at idle on a 1.x litre motor but you are getting boost when driving right?

 

yes
my motor is a 1.8 stock ls

does anyone know if there ls spins the sc61

maybe the compression might have something to do with it?

 

if it doesnt spin thats not normal

 

I had to do about 2 dyno pulls on my new SC61 before it would spin at idle. It sounds like it just needs to br broken in

 

what do you think i need to do drive it around or what?

if i stick my finger in the compressor side i can free spin it

 

thats perfectly normal on an engine with low exhaust velocity at idle. do a search, this has been covered multiple times.

 

ive had 2 sc61's. sometimes they would spin, sometimes they wouldnt.i thought it was weird to , but they still made boost .so i didnt care.

just worried because this is the 3rd one i got from precision

oh by the way if you start the car at cold idle the wheel will spin and if you let the car warm up a bit, the wheel then quits spinning


plz help guys

There is no problem

Pretty much all turbos I have bothered to look at while running do this. I have a little t3 that doesn't always spin at idle and that thing only has a standard wheel and .63 a/r housing.

thanks anyone else, last time before my turbo messed up i only made 272 and 260 torque at 15psi


so something wasn't right with the turbo last time

is there any troubleshooting i can do to make sure i'm just very nervous about it

 

the turbos i've owned spun at idle. i have a pt67 t4 on a 1.8 gsr. exhaust pulses are pretty strong and should have no problem pushing the turbo even at idle. i mean i can push the turbo with the slightest touch of my pinky finger and it will spin.

After you sent me an IM I was thinking to myself, "it doenst spin". You should be good to go.

lol that's normally for a non ball bearing turbo to do that, my firend just bought a brand new T70 turbo, and put it on his fully fully built gsr and that **** still don't spin. but when he hits the gas pedel a tadd. that's ***** dirty. lol don't worry about it. if you want it to spin at 800rpms then go buy a gt sers. turbo, that runs about 1500. and then that **** will spin.

 

totally normal. I have a 1.9L gsr and a sc61 with stage 5 wheel, it doesnt spin at idle.

Also people. There is no such thing as a break-in for turbo's. Unless its the HKS (i think its hks) that has a coating on the inside of the conpressor housing and the wheel will actually shave some of the material off to create a tight clearance.

 

.

 

anyone plz

 

LOL

these people already told you , that IT IS NORMAL , what else do you want ??

i know right, you would think after Arturbo chimed in this guy would get the hint.


it is normal for some turbo's not to spin at idle. have you even driven the car to see if it hits boost?
