On3 turbo failed.. What to get next

[J_verrett5oh]

I had a on3 turbo fail on me tonight
instead of rebuilding it I'm just going to go with better turbos
what ones would y'all suggest
car will be making 1100 crank hp and has a th400 behind it

Comp turbos makes some nice ones.. Ive got one on another car I have and its performance is stellar. Plenty of options for how crazy you want it also.

How many miles did it last?

 

[J_verrett5oh]

Like 200 miles

 

[Blu13gt]

That sucks.. But im sure you were aware thats the chance you take with Chineese turbos.

 

[Slowb00st]

Like 200 miles

What failed?

 

[jn2]

Borg Warner EFR series turbo

 

[TaraFirma]

200 miles is nothing. Do they warranty them for any length of time?

Curious as to what his fails means. If he saw lots of smoke, maybe its getting too much oil and burning off like many others have seen.

 

[T's03GT]

One of the first I've seen fail. Get some Borg S366's.

 

[WIPLASH1]

What he said, the on3 61's are extremely reliable. That being said I went to PTE 6266's, they bolted right on and work well.

LOL... awesome

OP I thought I had a "failure" a couple of weeks ago. My drivers side was eating some oil and spitting it out the back. I installed oil restrictor and it fixed the issue

That's what I was thinking, plus his statement of 200 miles on it.

Oil restrictors here too. I'm actually pulling the scavenge pump off today too. Kinda pissed I wasted $300 for a $20 fix. Grrrr

Actually I wasn't trolling. Might be my fourth post but I have a good bit of experience with turbo systems on other platforms. Now if I'm wrong about where the turbos are manufactured then my mistake. But if they are built in China like I have read in the past then I stand by my statement with saying its a risk to buy a precision part like a turbo that is manufactured there.

No matter what I hate seeing someone spend good money and have a premature failure. No offense intended in my first post.

I have 9,500 miles on my Chinese junk and they have not skipped a beat. I really never see any problems at all with these turbos. I would suggest checking the return line if you are seeing some smoke. Atleast send the turbo in and see what they say. But it's up to you but there are guys making over 1k rwhp on these turbos reliably.

 

[DaBigBone]

They're not made in China. They're made in the same factory as another big named company.

That being said, I ran their turbos on my old 2V for almost 20k miles and didn't have a single issue

Doesn't spin freely any more
Also it was the 67mm
I ended up buying some 6266 locally
