Sweet vid

 

Cool,like that
One of my mates was saying last week that when he had his Turbo balanced they did it while he waited.In principle he said it was the same as using a wheel balancer but the the shaft was spun using a elastic band and then they ground the nut.They were his words.I dont know where he went but it must be someone in S-O-T plus it must of been just the shaft.This is a T2 spinning around by his leg on his Kawasaki KZ1000,glad I dont ride it .Laughing to myself now @ the elastic band

 

Noticed they now do billet T38 wheels - what the advantage of swapping from the normal cast ones?

 

250,000rpm, over 4000 rpm/sec!

 

those operating speeds are on small turbos lie a gt15
a big rs 500 to4e operates at a max of around 80k rpm

 

I will find out soon, turbo on its way to TT now. Im also having a anti surge comp housing

did you watch the link I posted
you can read on their site about your t38 billet wheel and you can see how much it costs to have fitted
You will also find the price for the comp housing
just so you can see your not being overcharged even though we are doing it for free lol
tight fooker roflol

 

I was answering one of Chops posts lol

I will watch it now

Hart inlet all heli coiled, collecting in a bit.

Cool vid.Very interesting.

 

is it that you vsr small turbos because shaft bends at speed 100,000 rpm +

is that the large spike at the end of the graph as it nears it top speed

whats the smallest turbo you would core balance or dynamic balance,

 

Modern small turbos can hit 330,000 rpm! Also some turbos in race use are traveling at .98 the speed of sound at the outermost edge of the turbine blade! while I was working at Garrett I saw a video of a truck turbo when a foreign object was let in - WOW or rather bang! Then the oil was pulled through thus removing all your engine oil in short order as well as a knackered turbo.... knackered engine!

 

How old is that video, who in this day and age still uses floppy disc?

 

Fair play, Geoff can design & make some clever stuff, the VNT flow rig is impressive as well

 

And they're paid up traders on here??

 

no but Tony is and hes deals tt turbos so is he not just passing on info for a product he sells

 

I thought that lol.

Seems like a good bit of kit

 

I laughed when I saw the floppy disc
having said that the video is no where near as old as the turbos you are using
Noah had a t34 on his arc

 

Interesting little vid!

.... and a parallel printer port!! lol
hahaha
