did someone say they had a head with bent valves? If so are they willing to part with it? I would be interested in getting it off of you for some research.

PM me.

 

I have one, but Im sending it for some R&D at another place. You will like the outcome, I promise.

 

good to hear. keep up the good work.

 

Yeah I would probably end up cutting it up anyway. jk

I wanted one to play around with.

 

I will most likely have a "spare" s/c soon as I am certain I have "spun a bearing." I'll see what I can do as well. The unanswered questions are killing me.

 

when you hit the gas it gets louder and louder?

 

Not really. The difference between the "whine" mine makes and the "rattle" the others make is more than obvious. Its very high pitched, borderline annoying. It sounds terrible. Just like lundy's. At the very least, it sounds entirely different than when I first got it. I wish I still had the rattle...

 

didnt take long for this thread to die, i guess we will never find out the fix for the seals unless a company like dezod or zpi gets on this case.

 

wats the contact info on this ripp mods??

 

could not letting the s/c cool down after a drive eat out the seals with the hot oil thats straded there? like turbos, i believe these centrifugal s/c's need some cooling time and letting the oil circulate to cool the s/c a bit before shutting off. turbo timer? maybe.

but i'm interested in adding an oil cooler. tap the feed line, send it to the cooler, and returns back to the s/c. therefore, cooler oil goes into the s/c.

or oil cool the entire engine with B&M's import engine oil cooler via included filter block adapter.

several ppl i know have done tests with these coolers and wrere able to reduce temps by as much as 30degrees. very significant, and only 5psi loss of oil pressure. plus, u would be able to add a bit more oil in your engine.

 

I thought vortech would not rebuild a TRD unit??

 

looks like that crap went right out the window...boost away fellas

 

Well damn, if Vortech will rebuild the unit, there is no reason for me not to run 9.5psi....

hmmmm...

hey thats my head Zero lmao... don't go gettin too attached lol... as an off note... there is just a blower on ebay right now as we speak... its at like 800 bucks (little stiff if you ask me) but perhaps someone with lots of money could look into it

 

item number #270011488276 and supposedly its barely used and in working condition... member since 05 but only 8 feedback... might be risky .... not too far from me maybe if we throw money in a pot he'll take like $400 and i could go pick it up and take it with me to ZPI when i get my car tuned since they've already ported a few SCs anyways (I believe... don''t hold me too that but i think when i talked to thema bout doing it when i still had my sc they said they did it to theirs) which means they should have had one of these bad boys apart already

 

wow... didn't get flamed for the ebay comment... im in shock lol
