problems with s468

[woodduck97]

I got a irate kit a month or so agothat was less then a year old and had a 468. Turbo didn't last no more then two weeks. Anyone else had luck like this with them? Stock turbos took more abuse then what I gave this one.

Did you buy it second hand or directly from Irate??

 

[woodduck97]

2nd hand.

Those turbo's are pretty stout. You can contact JDub on here to see what he thinks he works for Holset..I can pm you a price for a new one with Billet wheel.

I have beat the crap out of mine. I spray it at the track all the time, drive pressures are 1:1 up to around 50PSI. What turbine is on it?

Those turbos are extremely robust and should handle quite a bit. Guys with 6.7L Cummins trucks pushing them to 50+psi and 700+hp. Depending on what is wrong with it, they can be repaired relatively easily if you decided to go that route. But getting you into a brand new one is always an option as well. Like Matt asked, what housing are you running on it?

If u decide to rebuild get ahold of james and barder turbo service. Dealer on here and set me up good when I rebuilt my 475

 

[woodduck97]

Its a 1.10 housing with a 83mm wheel.

 

[mattman347]

Yeah, you should not have had any issues if it was getting oiled good and the previous owner did did not get something in it!

 

[woodduck97]

Yeah that what I thought. How do you get it apart to rebuild it cause I tried getting the wheel off but can't

 

[Dieselboy.]

To rebuild it properly have it done professionally.

It needs to be balanced to operate as it should.

I have personally watched Jake from Irate ATTEMPT to hurt his stock bottom end 7.3 running that turbo.
Lets just say the turbo lasts longer than the block does in stock form

What direction were you going? Be careful of left hand threads.

ive got the same turbo just 71 cast wheel. ran it wih 250/100s for over a year and 350/200s for the past 4 months. still tight as a nuns ass as of last night. 1.1 housing. these center sections can be had on ebay for like 300$ or something like that, I don't think there Chinese. might be worth the look into for a quick drop in and just swap the wheel

 

[Rideracelivemx7]

give this a look over, may be a good idea?

I've been running it for about a year now and it's seen a 60 psi guage getting pegged almost weekly. Still tight and responsive. Great cheap single for numerous hp applications from mild to wild. Worth getting it rebuilt by a reputable shop that will stand behind it

James @ barder does great with 300 & 400 frame chargers

Pius trash talked my Modded H2e... Been the best turbo I've ever run.

They are still the best turbo for a fun 550hp IMO.
