Anyone play with putting a torrington bearing on the front of the crank registered in the front main to control crank thrust ? Been playing with converter charge pressure , I can get the converters to go less than 1% slip but then we kill the thrust bearing

Sounds as if it needs a stiffer converter housing which doesn't expand.

Welcome to the turbo worlds issues. Yes by all means torrington bearings help tremendously. Pretty much a standard in any serious turbo or blower motor. With valving and converter charge manipulation it would help in all motors.

Thats not the issue, high converter charge press acts like a hyd bottle jack and pushes the converter away from the pump

Keith Fulp mentioned the other day he had some pics of a setup you're asking about.
