turbo mod

ok my new turbo arrived... no go coz everything was way off measurements etc. so I took off my old T3/T04e 57trim and welded 1/2 of the fins (not fully closed shut as you can see) on the hotside

used to spool @ 3000rpm & get 5psi @4000rpm now only 2400rpm & get 5psi by 3500rpm.

way more torque(throttle response was amazing too) @ around 2000 rpm it feelz like my dads supercharged v8 now ^^.... weight increase by a total of 3.5grams (6 fins) + maybe 2-3 more grams from the stainless steel weld spots (pic was taken when finz had minimal weld spots). btw it has a bit of the whining sound when spooling ... I like it alot

but letz see how long it'll last.

the other reason why i didnt use the small T3 turbo was coz the cold side was way too small(hotside A/R .48) about 3inchz smaller in diameter

this is a joke is it, please this is a joke right?

i wonder how much of that whining sound is metal on metal friction

**Turk** · 8-22-07, 3:32

It is not a joke. It is copex. That is very half assed, even for you.

Oh well, lets see how it goes. Your posts are always very intersting.

copex · 8-22-07, 3:33

nope not a joke zero friction noize... the whining is due to the new finz making the gas colide with the gas from the original fins.

siK I just love how understanding you are!!!

Tx5guy · 8-22-07, 3:46

interesting indeed, i'd say the whining noise is from the out of balance shaft though... bearings wont last long, it will be good to see how long it lasts

LOL, your logic is flawless ill give you that

and here i was thinking you needed one of those big expensive machines to balance the inertia of an extra 3.5 g tacked randomly onto a wheel spinning at over 150k rpm? silly me

not only that but i dont beleive it would have the benefit your claiming it has. i would have at least expected a cam-phone youtube video to back up what rpm it spools at

copex · 8-22-07, 4:07

lol like i said... just wait and see how long it will last. I'll try to get a clip if you want but it'll be abit hard since my boost gauge is out the window ^^.

but I'll try.

**Fitzyb** · 8-22-07, 10:29

ohh dear lol

right idea, but deary me, dodgy to the max

go mazda engineering for holding up this long though

That is the stupidest thing I ever saw a member do here.
Id hit you some negative karma, though you would probaly get banned. And Id prefer to see the outcome of your craptastic turbo setup.

I believe turbos are balanced. That throws everything way off. But it is a ebay turbo

I predict a junk turbo even faster

copex · 8-22-07, 22:41

YouTube - MAZDA 2nd Gen MX-6 v6 2.6LTurbo k i took a short clip of it next to a gold coarse ^^ minimum cops.... my phone wont be able to show the fine readings on the dash so I'm not gonna bother for now.

It does sound very different...

Are you driving and recording at same time?

funny to see that you dont like holden drivers. Might wanna get rid of the other part..

**91turbo666** · 8-23-07, 4:12

oh jesus, thats definitely the sound of a fizzled turbo.

whatever, its yours not mine, but i can think of a lot of things to do with a turbo that doesnt involve breaking it like a little kid with his toys

**steelersfan** · 8-23-07, 18:11

Seriously WTF
