I saw this Porsche Cayman listed at auction with an engine problem. It looked pretty basic, except there was a photo of some red pipes on the underside of the car. It turns out this car was highly modified including a $12,000 Turbo Kit. The bid went Dirt Cheap, I won it and immediately spotted the issue! It turns out it wasn't as bad as the seller probably thought...

  • Sam, that turbo won't last long. ​ All turbine and compressor wheels from any turbo company are balanced separately. But, they must be balanced as an assembly as well. This is done by "group balancing" on a Heins balancing machine, or on a VSR (Vibration Sorting Rig) machine which spools the turbo to 70,000+rpm and it will tell you where the imbalance is. I worked at Turbonetics for 8 years and have built and rebuilt thousands of turbos. Also, you failed to clean the excessive burnt oil (called "coking") on the piston ring seal area on the turbine wheel shaft. I will also let you know that the failure happened originally because the oil draining out of the turbo is not draining quickly enough. This causes the oil to build up inside the center housing of the turbo and the pressure will cause it to leak past the piston ring seal of the turbine wheel and / or compressor wheel and dump oil into the exhaust and / or intake. The oil drains from the bottom by gravity into the crankcase. There has to be a slope in oil drain line so it flows properly into the crankcase. If the oil drain is horizontal, it will back up with oil quickly back into the turbo since it cannot drain fast enough.

    • Not to worry, he'll be buying a new turbo within 1,000 miles. between that cheap rebuild kit and the now unbalanced CHRA, the failure is going to chew the poopy out of the compressor housing and possibly snap the turbine wheel.

    • Hey Mark, thanks for the info. I did clean around the piston ring area before installing the new one. There is a slight angle to the way the oil line sits on it now, not sure if its enough of an angle though. If you search up this specific turbo kit online, there are multiple people saying they had the same issue with the turbo leaking oil, and some of them in very short order (like after 1000 miles of use). By looking at the turbocharger, can you tell exactly what it is (brand/type)?

    • @@Samcrac Hi Sam, the area I am referring to that still had the residual burnt oil was not on the groove that the piston ring seal sits in, but the larger diameter between that and the turbine wheel blades. The tolerance on that diameter is extremely tight and the surface must be clean and bare metal. Otherwise, it will leak. As far as the turbo itself goes, it looks like a knockoff noname T4 flange exhaust side, T04B compressor side. Not sure on the exact size of the compressor and turbine wheel trim size though. You would need to remove the housings and measure the inducer and exducer diameter of both wheels. Compare the measurements online to new wheels and you'll see what trim size the wheels are. You could also replace the turbo with a known brand, like a Garrett, once you know the size. You can upgrade to a ball bearing over the journal bearing too, which would make it spool faster. If others are complaining online about the oil leaking from their turbo with the kit, the oil drain design in the kit seems to be the culprit. A scavenger pump on the drain can alleviate this issue by pumping the oil back to the crankcase instead of gravity drain. Ask Tavarish about this as he had the same issue on his Gallardo turbo and added a scavenger pump. Best of luck, Sam!

  • You marked the turbo housings to clock them correctly so they would go back into the car easily but that’s not the part that’s balanced. The compressor and the turbine wheels are balanced to each other and I did not see you mark the position of the compressor wheel on the shaft after taking off the nut. if you did it looks like you did not show us that part and it sounded like you were mistaken about clocking the housings vs balancing the wheels. If you did not properly mark the orientation of the compressor wheel then you likely now have extra vibration in your turbo and it may not last very long. Just a heads up.

  • The first thing you should of checked is the turbo oil drain system. A blocked or malfunctioning remote drain will can cause the same issue causing the turbo oil seals to back up with oil as it has nowhere to go but through the turbo seals. On a Porsche boxer engine the turbos sit low and hence have a remote drain back that needs to pump oil back up to the sump. I suggest you check the turbo drain back system.

    • This! Very typical of a turbo that isn't draining. Either he needs a scavenge pump, or the existing one is non-functional. Especially with no visible damage to the bearings, seals, and rings.

  • The turbo is leaking because of the -10 oil drain fitting being too small on the ID, it’s a super common issue, I have several videos of fixing this. You could / should have used an upgrade 360 degree thrust bearing kit which is for high boost. I also prefer to cut the plate behind the compressor wheel for an oring. Also I would suggest that you marked the compressor nut, wheel and shaft location with a file to keep the location of the compressor wheel at which it was balanced. This turbo is a to4s 60-1 59 x76mm with ptrim 64.5 x 74mm turbine, it’s a Garrett turbo. It’s rated about 650 hp. The oil will leak out again, it’s forced out the front and rear seal of the turbo because the oil drain fitting isn’t large enough for the oil to leave the turbos center cartridge.

    • P.S. The really important party you didn't cover is match marking the compressor wheel and nut to the turbine shaft. They're supposed to be assembled in the exact same orientation they came apart, as they should have been dynamically balanced from the factory. You'll probably be fine, as the parts are individually balanced as well before assembly usually, but it can make a big difference. If you end up with turbo issues, it could be due to the lack of reassembling in the same orientation.

    • @@BoostLab Provided the nut, shaft, and wheel are all in the same positions as before, I don't know how physics would allow for what you are saying. There won't even be additional shaft stretch. I have seen many many many professional rebuilders and turbo companies advise that if a turbo is rebuilt it must all be marked and reassembled with the same orientation. I'd be very interested to see any proof that there could be an imbalance without the introduction of foreign material or damage. Many people will even purchase upgrade wheel and shaft packages which come balanced together and still have to be reassembled to go into the center housing. This would be impossible if balance changed even with correct reassembly. Otherwise, of course getting the entire CHRA balanced is best, but it's simply impractical to expect everyone can have it done.

  • That spring washer on the exhaust turbine needs to be compressed as you slide it in, there is a special tool for doing so, this prevents it from scoring the inner part of the bearing wall, this will cause oil to weep into the exhaust side. If the previous owner damaged the housing and you just did the same then that housing is FUBAR and will always leak no matter how many bearing kits are fitted.

I see your thrust bearing is a 270… I try to upgrade to 360 whenever possible even if OE was 270. Anyways, thanks for the video and if you ever want to talk turbos gimme a buzz.

  • You basically bought a discounted turbo kit and they threw in the Porsche for free.

  • Great channel, and I have not been watching it enough. I owned an 07 Cayman Base 987 for 3 years. Had the A/O separator go bad, and that's it. Replacement seemed simple enough, but I just did have the tools and the place to do it. Fortunately, my girlfriend recommended a good place to take it and they fixed it for a reasonable price. Selling it was painful because they are amazing sports cars. I think the turbo kit gives it Cayman S type performance. The Base model does not have the same engine risks as the S models, and though bore scoring is still possible, I agree that the issue was greatly exaggerated. Quite simply, this era is the last of the analog Porsches and afterwards, they become 4 cylinder turbo charged models. The newer ones are fast, but they don't have as good of an engine sound, (exhaust note) and I think they do not the possess the same aesthetic beauty of the body styles of the 987, & 987.1/.2 - Bottom line is that they are a great entry level Porsche, and are more rigid than Boxters. Low mileage examples can be found in the 25k range. Samrac is a good detective and has a good support system. This is why he can purchase a risky tracked example like this. His brinkmanship has to be admired. Hoping the engine light turns out to be a minor issue.

  • Info for all Americans who don't know what this car is called: It's not a Porsch and it's not a Porschiiii. It's pronounced PORSCHE. With a pronounced "E" at the end of the name. Greetings from Porsche Land Germany.

  • You mark the compressor wheel to the shaft for balancing, marking the housing just allows you to put it back in the same place so your piping can fit to it properly.

  • You should have checked the Car Fax. You would have found the previous owner of this car was MI-6 ( British Foreign Intelligence ). It was modified by " Q " Branch to dispense a smoke screen when the agent driving the car was being pursued by enemy agents and he engaged the Turbo at high speed.

  • I use a scribe or a pick to scratch the lines in for alignment. It’s a simple way. I noticed. The permanent markings go way when cleaning with brake parts cleaner or degreasers.

  • very disappointing, your marked the compressor and exhaust housing neither of which have anything to do with the balancing of the turbo. you then removed the impeller and exducer with out marking them which both are essential to balancing the turbo. you also didn't check the oil drain or the oil feed system of the turbo, almost all turbos will have a oil feed restrictor to prevent excessive oil flow and pressure through the turbo and all turbos require a free flowing oil drain to the oil pan or engine, problems with either system will cause excessive oil burning and smoking out of the exhaust. This car will be smoking again at the same rate if not worse in less then 2 weeks. please don't make videos on subjects you clearly know nothing about.
