Re: Turbonetics T3/T4 non ball bearing turbo
In order to handle speeds of up to 150,000 rpm, the turbine shaft has to be supported very carefully. Most bearings would explode at speeds like this, so most turbochargers use a fluid bearing. This type of bearing supports the shaft on a thin layer of oil that is constantly pumped around the shaft. This serves two purposes: It cools the shaft and some of the other turbocharger parts, and it allows the shaft to spin without much friction.

Re: Turbonetics T3/T4 non ball bearing turbo
all i'm going to say is be careful when you're buying a car like that....i would love to just buy a turboed GSR, but i'm going to build my own...then i won't have any questions about its reliabilty.
Plus if it fails i'm the one who did it
