How much is it going to cost to fix this? ,That damn screen was on tight. I just put like 200 miles on this brand new GT35R. Wow, what a let down.

From the looks of it, 3 of the tips are bent. I almost feel like just running it the way it is for now. Damnit this sux!

That sucks, man i should of kept my center section on my 35r. I messed up my exhaust wheel cause my valve broke and killed my engine and turbo... But my compressor wheel was perfect it had 900 miles on it. I would of gave it to you for free

Well let me ask the guy if he still has it. I sold him the whole thing

what type of filter was it?

BodyKits NW

I just used some mesh grill for screen doors. I think it's nylon. It was pretty dark out so I can't see the actual damage, but it looks like 2 of the tips are bent. I don't have any pics of GT35R without the compressor cover off to compare.

ham

if youre going to use mesh like that, youre supposed to use something hard to bend so it cant get sucked in!

That sucks Andy!

That is horrible to hear

I've heard so many horror stories about every type of filter - K&N, APC, eBay, nylon, mesh screens, ect. It just seems like no matter what you use it can happen, especially with a massive turbo like the 35R. I would suggest an intake arm off the inlet to a fresh K&N cone. Does it still spool?

I think I read more turbo damage threads with people who use filters and screen ordeals then I read about people who run nothing on their compressor cover...

we dont run anything on our covers, but the fins did get a bit "chipped" over the course of 2 "seasons"

Thats not bad considering this guy just lost his 35R in 200 miles.

I use screen, METAL screen. I usually use a t bolt clamp on it too, that **** isnt going anywhere!!

Replacing one wheel wont be to bad on the wallet.

SPOOLINmatt

i replaced a 67mm wheel it was about 160$ gt35r is considerably smaller so i dont know if that affects the price. then you would typically want it balanced.

damn that sucks i was considering of putting a mesh on my turbo but as of right now im running open with no air filter. I cant get any intake pipe to clear my turbo. Is it bad to run no air filter. Wht metal grill you guys talking about? The hard stuff??.Im afraid if i put mesh it might get sucked in the turbo

HybridKOOP

That "sucks"

*Boostwerks*

That really sucks man! You've been putting a lot of work into this car over the past couple years. It sucks to see something like this happen.

If it's a metal mesh, it won't flex like a plastic mesh would. As long as the metal mesh is tightened down properly it won't get sucked in.

i'll let you know by today if he still has it.. I know how it feels it sucks...

Thats why i use a filter i remember when i sucked in a screen on my T3/t4 it didn't seem to do anything to it lol so i was happy....

s2kdre

sorry to hear that man! thats a reason why i never used an airfilter or a screen on my turbos, i was afraid of that happening.

Pnoyej6

where can i buy the metal filter. what can i use to clamp it down the turbo?? since it wont bend??

mrbsponge

andy i just had something similar happen to my 35R, i was running NO filter and picked up a rock, it didnt go in, just chipped a couple fins, i am still runing it and havent seen any power loss on our dyno at all

I've seen metal mesh screens get CUT along the compressor inlet edge, and get sucked right in. I run a metal mesh on my T3/T4 and check it regularly. 2 years no problems so far.

I used regular aluminum screen from home depot. Just got a small roll of the stuff and clamped it down with an intake clamp. I'll see if I can dig up pic.

Pnoyej6

I MIGHT DO THAT ALSO AND USE A INTAKE CLAMP,JUST AFRAID IT MIGHT BREAK
