has anybody rebuilt their turbo themselves?

[gtir bean]

has anyone done this with one of the kits you can buy with new seals etc?i cant see how it can be that hard myself:? just want to see if anybody has had experiance doing this.

Dont they have to be balanced at 100,000 rpm or something like that after a rebuild ;-)

Yes, and not many people have the balancer at home, so it still needs to go off to be balanced. Might as well get them to do the whole job;-)

 

[gtir bean]

if you marked it so the turbine and impeller went back on it the same position they came off it should be ballanced still in theory would it not?

 

[Fast Guy]

Yes in theory, but that's assuming it was in balance to start with, which it may or may not be.:?

It will only cost you £300 and he will fit it up with a 360deg washer so it becomes a Hybrid T28...

Do you have any idea what they would charge to rebuild the T28 with a roller/ball bearing core ?

Can you uprate anything else on the standard T28 apart from the 360's like the pitch off the turbines or is that gona mess up the flow map??

Sorry i dont know all that "AR" stuff and where it falls in each tubby

 

[Rishi]

When you start arsing about with the turbo that much then you are better getting a new one...

If you are really keen on the T28 then think about using a roller bearing core and maybe a 71mm or 76mm at most compressor wheel...

Call TD or Ashills for cost or buy one new from the USA
