How do you guys like the Fuchs?

 

Fuchs look business, personally think that 930's belong on 16 or 17 inch rims, no 18-19". I love wide Fuchs, also loved my 17" Ruf rims, but they were HEAVY !!

 

Thanks!

These are now 17x9s&11s, but started life 30 yrs ago as 16x6s and they are now very light

 

I like them. Fuch'n awesome.

 

Thanks!

 

Impressive build. Enjoy in good health.

 

Car is at dyno tuner's and as you can see below it's running nice, but turbo seized so delayed dyno run. Will post up results when I get them

 

You have MAD skills!

Sorry to hear about your turbo seizing up. Are you going with the same turbo or something different? More videos please

 

Thanks!

I'm just replacing the brg cartridge and keeping the turbo at this point. It's brand new, so it should be fine once cleaned up and the cartridge is replaced. The failure was prolly caused by one of two things; something blocked the small oil inlet orifice allowing the brgs to fry or there was junk/dirt in the brgs from the supplier. It's a bullet proof Garret BB turbo, but was assembled by a third party distributor. I prolly should have torn it down before installing it to ensue all was well, but upon inspection outta the box it seemed good to go freely spinning and no play...

I'll post up more videos ASAP

 

Very nice build, any HP numbers yet?

 

Thanks, no dyno runs yet, but soon...

 

Just as we were ready to dyno it the new turbo's brgs went South

The turbo oil feed line, yes the one with a restrictor fitting, got blocked and turbo overheated smoking the brgs and causing major damage. Garrett has it now for a full rebuild and yes the restrictor fitting will be TOSSED when the turbo is reinstalled

 

Damn...that really sucks. I'm no expert, but it seems misplaced to have a restrictor fitting anywhere on a turbo oil line.

Hope the new one is bullet-proof.

 

restrictors are recommended on Garrett Ball-Brg turbos cuz they want oil sprayed on the brgs, not swimming in it, but my new set will be swimming

 

after smoking 2 BB Garretts and only makin 400 rwhp I've gone to a bigger Bullseye journal brg turbo
