Meaning.....well I'll let the compressor inlet pipe do the talking
(Sad face). Whether or not this is the culprit, my rotrex (which was purchased used), that had been A good unit for the 3000+ km I put on in those months, developed a loud bearing roar fr within the unit. I was so pissed after spending most of the summer customizing the kit to work and finally getting it running, I said what's the worst that could happen if I keep driving, only a couple months left till storage. So I kept driving, the oil level on the oil canister never lost a drop so I thought, meh, if it goes it goes but at least the roller system is being lubricated, and it was still making full boost. So 1 month passes, and I noticed the canister level starting to drop, and the noisy bearings are getting worse. Well quickly I noticed the return line In the canister had started foaming when dumping the oil back in and quickly new I was doomed since I couldn't keep filling it up daily at 100$ a litre. So I drove it until I ran out of fluid to keep topping up with and finally pulled the blower off as seen in the above pictures to put it back to NA for now. Sad to have no truly felt the potential of the unit before having to rip it off, had I discovered the wastegate opening problem earlier I would have likely been fully tuned and potentially lost my license. Maybe it's a blessing in disguise, because even 8psi got me in we trouble. Anywho, I'll post a pic of my bay in all it's rotrex glory before ripping it off this fall to appreciate
And for anyone interested in what the chassis looks like..... What the heck.
