Sounds expensive, cant you get a rebuild kit and do it yourself? There's guides on youtube

 

[pork]

Yeah, that I t gunna happen. I've tried dismantling it, with heat, several large hitting items, long bars, I was gunna rip the vice from the table before it came apart. So if I give it to a professional company, they must h ave 'ways' to do this

Only pad £20 for it so if it costs couple of 100 to have a fully functioning rebuilt turbo, I think it'll be worth it

Tough bugger is it? lol Tend to run at about £250, depends if it needs 'extra' work, turbine housings etc

 

[MicrAde]

Turbo Technics are the ones that immediately spring to mind or maybe Midland Turbo. Sadly not had turbo experience myself

 

[pork]

Neither have I. Thing is, this seems to be ok, to me, could be a dud. But so could any other second hand turbo.

Does it spin up ok? Any shaft play? May be worth giving it a go 'as is' and taking it from there. Cant you tell I'm a tight ass yorkshireman!

 

[MicrAde]

Wonder if anyone has experience of the cheap chinese turbos

 

[frank]

I am a cheap ass south east man....???? that count? yeah no play, mean go play. Bitches love a solid shaft with no give init

 

[pork]

I would give it a go as is......but need to reconfigure it so the oil feeds are pointing the correct ways.....but can't budge the thing

Or jus buy another second hand turbo

Aaaaaahhhh

Everything's all coming together, and parts are being made to suit this turbo, (or another like it)

Gotta start building all parts up soon and want everything in working order before I do

Ah, sorry, didnt realise you needed to clock it. Thought you just wanted to make sure it operated correctly

 

[SirChris]

south side is de best

 

[MicrAde]

All together now.............."FRANK!!!!!"

Clocking is easy enough, unbolt the waste gate bracket, using some good quality circlip pliers remove the big circlip (on the inlet side) turn the turbo to where you want it

Yup, got that far, will it turn...... Nope, I'm no wuss when it comes to 'persuading' things either

if it wont budge after a week soaked in thin oil, i think i would give up personally

 

[karlj]

Ive read that driftworks guide 3 or 4 times lol

 

[pork]

Ok, on the exhaust side, all there is, is a bloody great c clip, biatch to remove, and that's it, no bolts, nothing, and won't budge

[karlj]

That should have 4 bolts?!? Are there holes where bolts could go?

 

[karlj]

You have an airesearch m10 don't you?

 

[pork]

That's what it says, but no bolts, or holes

Might be worth watching if its cheap enough

 

[pollyp]

suppose different makes use various ways to secure the housings. that turbine c-clip looks like a bugga to remove.
i remember that the inlet housing c-clip was so stiff, i had to squeeze the pliers in a vice to remove the clip.

anyway once removed, give a good douse of oil to soak, them hot turbine housings usually seized/fused on over the yrs.

then give the housing afew taps with a metal hammer equally from all sides (otherwise if you whack just on one side it'll just wedge/jam stuck) so secure the turbo core on vice or lay it on the floor, tap the housing with hammer at 12 -> 6 -> 9 -> 3 -> 10 -> 4 -> 2 -> 8oclock repeat. if its still stuck, heat up the turbine housing equally all round with a blowtorch so it expands abit looser on the turbo core, then repeat banging.

you'll see it nudges abit when it begins to break free. take care not to catch n ding the turbine blades on the housing when it comes off

 

[pork]

Right, got it apart. To a lot of hitting!

Doesn't really seem worth the effort now tho. Opinions please

Loads of crud came out with this which you can see on the table

This was what's left of plate behind turbine

Few chunks gone

Compressor is ok

So what do you think? Scrap it?

 

[karlj]

Clean it up and re build it, good t2's are getting thin on the ground

Thus is on my watch list already

 

[pork]

So you think it's repairable

 

[frank]

the shaftplay is the key really pork, if its minor and that backplate was catching because it was loose ? then clean it and use it, but if the wear on the backplate is due to shaftplay then you have to weigh up whether to spend 50+ on an ebay repair kit, or source a better turbo eh

 

[pork]

I could wiggle it a bit from side to side, but I have no basis of comparison as this is the first turbo I've had in my hands

So kits are only £50 , so that plus the £20 it cost to buy, still less than most other turbos out there

But how long would it last? :/

Not sure if you can see, but there's a few little chunks out of it

Looks repairable to me how long would it last..... that depends on the quality of the rebuild kit and how much abuse you give it

 

[SirChris]

but the compressor and shaft are now unbalanced.. it will add haste to fail

 

[pork]

New turbine shafts are £75 ish

So £75, £50 kit...... Hmmm

Spose it's cheaper than a professional rebuild. If I do it right

Or stop being a tight ass and look for newer one

 

[MicrAde]

Tight is good

 

[MicrAde]

Its all good experience and you'll know its done right. If you buy another used turbo it may be just as bad once you strip it. Plus you can do a 'turbo rebuild how to' for anyone else that may want to go blown

a new core is an option http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=t2+turbo+core&_sacat=0&_from=R40 but i would clean it out and try it to see if you can get the project running first (before it turns into a moneypit )
