Has anyone used this turbo or any HKS turbo and have the bullet nut spin off? I will post pics as soon as I get them. Seems kinda freakish. I have never really messed with HKS turbos much but I think it looks like a garret turbo. Anyhow any input would be nice.

I've heard of it happening on the other site...

here are the pics. we only ran 14psi on this thing and it is only like 4 months old. Kinda sucks https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/angry.png .

Dude there was a thread about that exact thing at 7club not that long ago. Apparently it's pretty common for that nut to come off.





Bummer for Aaron dude. Lucky for him the turbo was free.

Yeah it sucks for him now that the car was pretty much done and now this. Oh well the new single came out yesterday on DC 101 and was number 1. So he is excitied about that. He is going to try to get the new TO4Z ........



check out there site if you get some time

I like Aaron and all but that musics got no soul man. They play it well but it sounds like everything else on the radio these days. I guess i am no fan of Top 40 pop rock.

Same difference if you ask me. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/unsure.png

Thats a bummer. Do they have torque specs for those things? I wonder if HKS has a spec they're suppose to use?

I wonder if some adhesive should be applied to the threads and then spec tightend.That way it wont throw the balance off.Or they(HKS) should make it a counter thread to spin. I wonder how many outside of the HKS stuff does this happen. I haven.t seen any post.

The normall nut doesent fall off. The efficency gain is like 2%, so why bother.

Can you let us know why your T04R blade is all turning to yellow ? and did you buy this turbo from HKS USA dealer?. do you want to share your story?

REGARD

i've talked to hks about that sort of basically if you backspin turbo that will happen or so i'm told.....

happened twice to a buddy of mine, second turbo was a warranty

Happened to Dragon as well. T04R directly from HKS and it came off.

HKS is going to replace his turbo. They somewhat sponsor him so it is not too hard to get another turbo it is just a pain to change it out. I want to be done with this damn car.

I have the so called TO4R also...but it not from HKS. In the pics that housing doesnt have HKS's brand cast in it.Devil-FC pic has it .

Does that mean anything?Yellow indicates some contaminate baking on the wheel.

Well it was in a HKS box when it got to my house. It has a serial number on it that says garret.

are you running antilag? if so that is the problem!

ouch that thing is all chewed up.

why would anti-lag be the problem? i was thinking about running antilag. but why would it be soo bad?

FIne off the line. Just don't run it all the time. Get the set up wrong and you can spin the exhaust compressor the wrong way . This can cause the front nut to fall off ( not often but it can do it! )

that not an hks turbo. i have a to4r the fan love diffencne. mines say hks to4r with a metal tablet
