    <title>Subaru Turbos - oil starvation</title>

      <![CDATA[WOW, what a great topic to find near the top after my prolonged absence. Hi everyone! I was surfing this very subject and something clicked in my brain, like, what&#39;s going on at subbug??? So I am looking for answers for my &#39;05 Outback XT turbo problem and run right into Jeff&#39;s post regarding oil starvation. We recently bought the showroom condition &#39;05 with 61K on it and was loving it big time when at about 67K the turbo let go after about 9 hours into a 14 hour trip. $2,250 later we have a brand new turbo from Subaru Parts and it all good. We never found a cause for the failure but I did find out by surfing that there were a lot of these VF-40&#39;s going bad. The main culprit seemed to be bearing failure due to loss of oil flow to the turbo, there are a couple of TSB&#39;s about replacing the screen in the banjo bolt to prevent the replacement turbo from failing also, but no real info on why the VF-40 is the one that seems to have the problem. Anyway, my mechanic did all the steps in the TSB, pulled the oil pan, flushed the motor oil, replaced the screen, and 4K miles later the new turbo starts going. Subaru Parts thinks the screen is plugged, but I&#39;m very sure my guy followed the necessary steps and that isn&#39;t the cause. Thinking the VF-40 is a crappy failure prone turbo, I called Brian at BNR to talk to him about his Mitsubishi TD05 CHRA based hybrid turbo and during the discussion I mentioned using Mobile1 synthetic and he pounced on that immediately as the reason for the failure. It seems Mobile1 5W-30 is very low on zinc, like almost half the zinc as in some of the other oils out there. It makes sense to me as the first turbo failed around 4K after our first oil change which was probably the first time Mobile1 was put in it, and then the second one fails with 4K. Needless to say, I&#39;m going to doing the work myself this time, I&#39;m going to use the hybrid Mitsubishi TD05 CHRA turbo and avoid the VF-40 turbo like the plague, and lastly stay away from low zinc oils. Good seeing you guys. -Terry<br/>Links from my surfing...<br/><a class='url' href='http://www.bnrsupercars.com/'>http://www.bnrsupercars.com/</a><br/><a class='url' href='http://store.forcedperformance.net/merchant2/graphics/subaru_oil/02-106-08.pdf'>http://store.forcedperformance.net/merchant2/graphics/subaru_oil/02-106-08.pdf</a><br/><a class='url' href='http://www.mobil.com/USA-English/MotorOil/Files/Mobil_1_Product_Guide.pdf'>http://www.mobil.com/USA-English/MotorOil/Files/Mobil_1_Product_Guide.pdf</a>]]>

Beam, trans, all suspension pieces are included as well as seats. Will make a great project for spring. The body has a straight cut under the rear seat bottom (front to back) from the original owner. It was never mounted but he was thinking of putting on a full size pan. Easy fix and great project for spring. $800. ]]>

      <![CDATA[Thanks for the advice, the flywheel teeth were counted by the previous owner and he told me it had 109 teeth so it must be a 6V system.&#160; The bendix still worked on the old starter but the motor just dragged and got hot.&#160; My old bus worked great with the 6V bendix and motor with a 12Volt system.&#160; I am going to keep the 6V starter but I will look for a 12V bendix.&#160; thanks for the replies and the advice.&#160; This is a great VW dune buggy site!!!&#160; you guys rock!]]>
