RE: Wren 54 catastrophic failure
Not having much luck with getting bits from wren other than NGV, surprised they don't stock parts for a Mk3, I'm sure there are plenty of them still around, will they soon stop stocking spares for a MK4 ? something I would consider before buying a new turbine in the future.
Anyone know what the Garret part number is for the 12 blade compressor ? or have one lying about.
Also I am looking for a turbine wheel new or second hand, I might make a tunnel or buy one from JetJoe which is exactly the same.
The front intake looks to be ok, the compressor blades must be a softer metal as they have wear on them but the intake looks to have been touched by the compressor but no un-evenness or scores. Would know better with a new compressor.
I have cleaned up the marks caused by the turbine wheel on the NGV mainly rubbing against the stators,, need to check shaft, so if I had a tunnel, turbine wheel, compressor, tailcone and a new set bearings, I could rebuild it again.
