More fucking problems! This explains everything, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJeAYJdOjPo

sux dude. I can hear your frustration/disappointment in your voice. Can you get a better bearing and fix what you got or is it just garbage now?

Yoda · 01-26-2011, 02:09 PM

Ahhh shit that means mine is next to go FFS. Time to start saving. Would atleast thought I could get a year out of it first... Dang!

pimp my yaris · 02-01-2011, 11:48 PM

Well my car is back to stock now. Today it turned into a snow plow on my way back home from work in this BLIZZARD. Now its thunder lightning and snowing outside. Really fucked up. I dont think the Yaris will make it to work tomarrow. Its just to low!

cali yaris · 02-02-2011, 10:08 AM

well crap, sorry about that. Can you publish the eBay link or seller's name or whatever to others know which turbo this was?

Hope you can get boosted again when your weather gets better!

Please do post a link, it would be much appreciated. China turbos are hit or miss unless its from a reputable place.

This was the turbo I was using. You will find it by searching "GT25 turbo". If it has the word GODSPEED in the picture, stay away. There are several different sellers of this turbo. Or possible one seller using several different names. One thing I would like to note I was using a 1.5mm oil restrictor on my banjo bolt for oil line. I was doing some reading on Garretts web sight and found journal bearing turbo's dont need a oil restrictor unless they are blowing oil through the seals. The restrictor I was using was made for a journal bearing turbo.
But if you want less problems just buy the Garrett turbo and do it right. And read and follow all instructions on there web sight. I guess its possible the turbo failed early due to the restrictor??? I am not sure. I plan on going turbo again as soon as the weather allows. I am also going to get a Tig welder to buid my own exhaust and downpipe.

IMO the turbo failure could have been cause by:

1 The original location of your oil drain which was too low

2 The restrictor you used was too small. The one I use in my car came with a hole the size of a pin hole. I drill it out to 1/8 of an inch.

Some pics of my car in the Chicago Blizzard!

Yoda · 02-04-2011, 06:01 PM

Dude WTF is that? Is that snow!? It cant be.Lol omg thank god I live in Florida.

Bluevitz-rs · 02-05-2011, 09:45 AM

We're going to have to start saying the great white south LMAO. You've got WAY more snow than I do.

pimp my yaris · 02-08-2011, 05:19 PM

Is anyone welding there own exhaust pipes. I'm looking into buying a welder and I'm having trouble deciding what type of welder to go with. MIG, TIG or a cheap flux core wire welder that doesn't use any gas. I want to be able to weld stainless and aluminized exhaust pipes. I am very limited by the fact I can only use 120 volt set up in my town house.

I miss red this as aluminum pipe.

cali yaris · 02-08-2011, 05:22 PM

I'm shopping too. I've been told that for aluminum I have to get a TIG.

Bluevitz-rs · 02-08-2011, 05:35 PM

For Aluminum, you need an AC welder for TIG and I'm pretty sure for MIG as well. TIG is not for beginners, so if you've never really welded before go with a MIG. You can buy the adapters for welding Aluminum, but again, I'm pretty sure it needs to be capable of doing AC. Most steel is welded with DC, and most cheaper welders are DC only.
