speedyquest Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 You really need to type a description, a question, something. I mean how do you expect us to know what this topic is about? We can't read your mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcristquester Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 You're absolutely right speedy, but it's actually a video and yes that thing is shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87redcat Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 shaft play?? that thing is floating... New rebuild kit, new impeller, your experience mechanically speaking. providing the housing is not shot.or sending it off for a rebuild/estimate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightwalkerancestery Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 It looks like something went through it rather than bad shaft play. Something BIG! Part of the accordion boot inner O-Ring perhaps? Ask me why I guessed that As long as the housings aren't torn up (looks as though it might be alright) and if the exhaust turbine didn't take a beating, I'd say grab a new comp wheel on ebay (a good one) for about $40, have the turbine and the wheel COMPONENT balanced, get a rebuild kit, and call her done! Why do I say component balanced? Because if this ever were to happen again or the comp wheel ever touches the housing, you can get a new compressor wheel and not have to worry about getting things balanced I'd say rebuild her! - Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightwalkerancestery Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Oh, and you won't know the true extent of the damage (nor will we) until you tear that thing down and get a good look at the housings. - Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarquestRescue Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 I am going to go with broken turbine shaft. Probably not cost effective to repair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markhansenconquest Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 if something went threw it everything is junk ......unless u send it to a place that can balance it again........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedyquest Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 That center cartridge is most likely destroyed entirely. Look at how much play that thing has. I wouldn't be surprised if the shaft is broken in half and the only thing holding the compressor wheel in is the housing and part of the bushing.

ucw458 Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 I'm betting broken turbine shaft too. But don't give up on it yet. Take it apart first. Wheels, shafts and bearings can be replaced. It may still be repairable. I've seen worse that were rebuilt. But you won't know till you take it apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techboy Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 I had a Super 16G once from Hahn Racecraft (this was maybe 10 years ago) ... I sent it back to them to rebuild, they called me a few weeks later. It was about 100 dollars difference to just buy a new one ... so I bought a new one. If you can take it apart, as suggested above, and rebuild it yourself, that's a different story though. Rebuild kits are pretty widely available these days - esp for 16G's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightwalkerancestery Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 (edited) I had that little inner o-ring for the accordion boot disintegrate on me one day while just cruising. DESTROYED the comp wheel. Took it apart, swapped in a spare comp/exhaust combo with the same bearings and not a prob 6,000+ miles later at 15psi. Was just supposed to be temporary, but it works, so no need to mess with it yet. Just because it looks that bad from the front means nothing for the rest until you tear it apart. I forsee getting a new compressor wheel (it'll be already balanced), get the turbine balanced by itself (or get a new one if the shaft is broken, which will already be component balanced), and then throw it together with a rebuild kit. Might cost you about $150-$200. - Charles Edited August 23, 2015 by nightwalkerancestery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
