Who is going to join the Dead 3S Society?

25 + psi is do able if you can avoid detonation. Which he obvioulsy didnt

if a ceramic turbo is ment to explode at 14psi, id imagine 25 wouldnt be to good for it.

*STARES AT AL*

Since when is it meant to explode at 14psi? I ran mine at 15psi quite comfortably. There isnt any real rhyme or reason to them falling apart, they just do.

[Distrb]

all since your car has been not moving for over a week doz that meen you have lost this poll

well technically the engine still runs... so that negates the "dead 3s" aspect.... but the gearbox is another story

just going off what others have said.

ceramic is better than steel from a manufacture's point of view... just bad from a *turn up the boost bro* point of view.

[Dell'Orto]

Ceramic turbines have a few advantages actually, one being they're more heat resistant than steel, and they're quite alot lighter so spool quicker.

thats why i just said they are better ^_^.

argh, if i had the book from the libary id scan the graph

it was a T3 turbocharger (i dont know what AR etc, just said T3, i know theres heaps of virants). anyway, had a graph of a ceramic bladed one vs a steel, just the spool times etc.

good 1.5-2 seconds spool time reduced, which, in turn can make all the difference.

so what actually causes the blades to *fall off*?

While very resistance to heat, ceramic is also very fragile!

You said from a manufacturer's point of view, Im sure spooling time is of little consequence to them (okay, so not true, but not in the same sense as your average enthusiast)
Basically the ceramic wheel is glued to the shaft, and with time it can fail.

bahhaa al and brad are tied... could be a close race....

i think delaminates is the word they use for the wheel falling apart

Ceramic, unlike steel will shatter rather than bend.

If your ceramic wheel touches the housing, it will shatter into lots of peices and probably work its way into your engine too, if a steel wheel did this it would probably just burr the edge of the wheel away.

*STARES AT AL*

dont explode at 14psi.. (not immediately anyway)

I've currently got issues, when I hit peak torque my boost spikes to 20+psi. (+ = my gauge only goes to 20)

thats with a nanna foot on the accelerator...

(have to plant the foot all the time, that way it only spikes to 1 bar)

i know they dont.. factory ct20's run 14psi stock lol.

yeah but I drive a Caldina, which in D&D terms has +5 to detonation

simple, stick a gen 4 3sgte in, all problems solved!

chuck a motec in for fun too .

I had to vote Brad.
I have been in his MR2 with him......

I can also rember doing doughnuts around the round-about outside the police station in Blenheim in an old Cosmo driven by him!!!!!!

Hahahahahahahaha

I am a responsible driver, honest

[sopachrga]

Yeah of course you are

[Lanius]

Can I have my name added to the list plz?

When do I get my "Dead 3S Club" membership badge?

Send a pm to Akane. He is the president of the broken 3s club. If you wish you can also enroll in his school of engineering as well

[flygt4]

hahah id still be backing al if his car was actually running for him to try destroy with a bit of luck i will be returning to the 3s society soon as well

[MR2SIK]

ooh ooh can i join the club too
