SpikeyJp_68 Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 Recently bought a ct9 cheap enough but it has a cracked wastegate. I wondered if anyone could tell me if it's okay to use or not ? Sorry about the orientation of the picture Thanks in advance. Will get a couple more pictures later just took one quickly this morning Quote
triple j Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 No problem to use that man, i saw a lot worse ones working well. Quote
SpikeyJp_68 Posted July 2, 2016 Author Posted July 2, 2016 Got a few more pics. Last is looking down the exhaust bit Quote
SpikeyJp_68 Posted July 2, 2016 Author Posted July 2, 2016 No problem to use that man, i saw a lot worse ones working well.Cheers mate, also if the shaft is slightly hard to turn will that make a massive difference ? Quote
SpikeyJp_68 Posted July 2, 2016 Author Posted July 2, 2016 Yes should spin freely bud.I'll have to see can I get a video on YouTube or something, it spins but doesn't carry on spinning. I take it it'll need new bearings ? Quote
akyakapotter Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 Possibly dude with the waste gate cracked as much as it is there would make sense to get one that's not that bad Ct9s are every where every one must have them hidden away in the garage some where. Quote
5e colin Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 i would scrap that kid she A or B as i have a good few housings lying about uncracked Quote
SpikeyJp_68 Posted July 2, 2016 Author Posted July 2, 2016 It's an A I beleive Colin. Would it be a DIY job or does it still have to be sent off to be balanced after ? Quote
5e colin Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 i have a few of them will have a look tomorow no you just remove the vclamp and tap of the housing and reinstal the other 1 you dont touch the proppelers Quote
SpikeyJp_68 Posted July 2, 2016 Author Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) That's spot on. Big thanks Colin and akyakapotter Edited July 2, 2016 by SpikeyJp_68 Quote
triple j Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) Looks just as bad as the one am running this min with no problems whatsoever, u can change the housing but I guarantee u that turbo will have no problems, it has most likely been running like that for a good few years, if u say the shaft is hard to turn its fucked it should turn easy and spin freely.

SpikeyJp_68 Posted July 2, 2016 Author Posted July 2, 2016 I have it soaking in diesel (use it for cleaning all engine parts I presume it'll be okay) so hopefully it'll loosen up. It spins by hand I can use my fingers to spin it. Stops spinning almost immediately though. Must look at trying to get a YouTube vid up. Have sent an email to a rebuild place see how much a full rebuild is Quote
triple j Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 It wouldn't keep spinning it will stop as u say just as long as it feels free and doesn't get stiff at any point of rotating it. Quote
SpikeyJp_68 Posted July 2, 2016 Author Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1drmupctTp4Let me know if it doesn't work, not sure how to embed it. Also that's the dog sniffing at the end, not me Edited July 2, 2016 by SpikeyJp_68 Quote
SpikeyJp_68 Posted July 2, 2016 Author Posted July 2, 2016 It wouldn't keep spinning it will stop as u say just as long as it feels free and doesn't get stiff at any point of rotating it.Feels the same resistance all the way round. There's a video link above Quote
Ollieh17 Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 Just me or does that exhaust side look super wet? Quote
Starlet__SR Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 Its a journal bearing, not ball bearing so wont spin freely until its got oil pressure. Quote
SpikeyJp_68 Posted July 2, 2016 Author Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) Just me or does that exhaust side look super wet?Just pulled it out of a bucket of diesel that's all put some 10w30 in the feed also to make sure it wasn't dryness causing it to be stiff Edited July 2, 2016 by SpikeyJp_68 Quote
SpikeyJp_68 Posted July 2, 2016 Author Posted July 2, 2016 Its a journal bearing, not ball bearing so wont spin freely until its got oil pressure.I knew journal bearings weren't as free spinning just wasn't sure if it needed new bearings or if it was Normal Quote
Starlet__SR Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 I knew journal bearings weren't as free spinning just wasn't sure if it needed new bearings or if it was Normal You'll get some movement and a little play but thats to be expected. Quote
SpikeyJp_68 Posted July 3, 2016 Author Posted July 3, 2016 Got the compressor out today to clean it off ect and it spins and keeps spinning for a while when it's upto speed, so just the cracked wastegate now if I can get one. Thanks for all your input Quote
SpikeyJp_68 Posted July 3, 2016 Author Posted July 3, 2016 Fit the dam turbo it will be fine manMid way through a conversion, it'd be on and I'd be boosting around if that was the last part Quote
triple j Posted July 3, 2016 Posted July 3, 2016 That's a different story plenty of time to pick up an exhaust housing to have it right. Quote
