Grumpy Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 happen to good turbos. When they let go, the quarters get a might cramped. From a 500 HP 60 series Detroit Diesel. The replacement - $1200 http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/martinh@snet...r=/2300&.src=ph The little flat metal shaving is from when the footloose turbine blade tries to pretend it's a lathe, and cuts into the housing. At full load, they spin around 60,000 rpm or more The shaft between the impellers has no bearings - it only has bushings, and the shaft rides on a film of oil. Forgive me the odd image titles. Windows XP's memory card reader software will assign file names of the previous batch of photos unless it's told to do differently. I shot some Mustang interior pictures in a previous batch, and didn't think to change the name of the turbo set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Owie, dude. I hope that thing had an intercooler inbetween the output of the turbo and the intake of the engine to collect the broken bits instead of the cylinders and head...
