Hi John,

They're hydrodynamic bearings.

Dan- Giving the bearings their own cooled oil supply sounds like a good
idea.

The class he runs has to use a specific turbo, the people who make the
turbo, Precision Turbo, forbid him to look inside the turbo to see what's
wrong, they said they would cut him off if he got caught taking one apart. I
know he's getting that turbo really hot, maybe he's coking it up.

My friend wants to convert the turbo to ball bearings, is this practical?

Chris

A friend of mine runs a small block ford with a 94mm Precision Turbo. He
gets 7 runs out of it, while it's blazing fast, almost 200 mph in the ¼,
he's only getting 7 runs before the bearings in the turbo are shot. Any
ideas?
