Hats off to Jarrett, but comparing stock48’s results with the rest and you’ll notice a huge gap. He’s like the purple unicorn of LS forced induction. No one is seeing results like his. I ran the Small S475 on my 5.3 RX-7. Great turbo. But As I said, it runs out of steam fast with no real way to upgrade. My 2900lb rx-7 trapped 153 blowing hot air with the small S475 at 26lbs. The larger wheel S400’s simply make more power per pound. You’ll notice Stock48 doesn’t run the small wheels anymore. He stuffs the largest exh. wheel the S400 CHRA has to offer in a T4 housing… There’s a reason for that.
Well bad news. Looks like the on3 turbo kicked the bucket. Went to take off the hotside to weld the new flange for the new gate. As i was taking off the turbo the wheel felt stiff. I pulled the hotside off and their was a little bit if burnt oil on there.
Followed by some shaft play, nothing crazy.
I wont even waste my time sending the turbo off to get inspected after reading how they work with their warrenty.
Sad to say but 550$ down the drain.
Sounds like possible oil failure. What oil are you using?
I think i spoke too early. Lol.
I took the oil drain plate off, took off the compressor cover and hotside. Everything looks perfect. The turbo is a little stiff but i think its fine. The shaft play is minimal side to side. No in and out shaft play.
The shaft inside looks like new, i figure if the angle was a problem their would be some discoloration but their isnt.
Im gona install the wastegate and give it a shot before pulling the trigger on another turbo
Well gave it the benefit of the doubt
Installed the new gate. Took it for a drive and when i started the car up the turbo wasnt spinning at idle, only if i got it to 2k rpm or so.
Got home and now has more shaft play and found this.
Time for another turbo. Either the 96mm s475 t6. Or wait for the clone s480
Dam.
I was just about to pull the trigger on a t4 t88 from on3. But now I'm having second thoughts. Ive heard its a hassle for warranty w them. If anything happens. I ain't got time for that. 🍵 🐸

No, 96 mm exhaust wheel. The exducer on the turbine will be smaller. BW lists the exhaust wheel size, not the exducer like other manufacturers do. That's gonna be a big BEOTCH!
