Cool

Eric,

Thats a p600b, 9lb kit for lt1 z.

We never spun it over 5400rpm or so cause we were still testing things. Stock puter didnt like the cam i had in it and the blower.. so we were working out bugs. Going down the road at around 2500rpm and heard it hit.. within 3secs it went from normal to GREAGNAGEOAFHAOE8A8EF*CK heh.

We never overspun it.. even if i DID go WOT.. i havent put the 7k pill in yet.. had a 6k pill. It wasnt starving for oil.. had more than enough.

It seemed fine.. was tight, no discernable backlash in gears b4 we put it together. All i figure is that the impeller wasnt balanced, wobbling.. more and more over time, doesnt take much to eat up a .015" tip clearance

When it crashed, i guess the balls inside the bearing behind the impeller kept spinning inside the stopped I and O races b/c the middle race, that goes around the balls was inside my intercooler...

Its been almost 3weeks i think now.. Dorian will be back at ATI monday so im going to talk with him then. I hope they repair it for free... If not.. i couldnt bring myself to drop $$$ on a D-series. Doesnt matter, i'll likely go with a t-76 sometime down the road... i dunno what a p600b would be able to make on a 8.7-9CR 383.

My fingers are crossed for sure.
