Turbo specs

[boostedrs]

there are 6 bolts on the back of the compressor cover(cold side) u take those off and the cover will lift off exsposing the compressor wheel.u measure across the small side then the large part of the blades.(top/bottom)
to reaseemble just gently place the cover back on,as far as tq specs i always just snuged my bolts up with a reg wrench

[robertisaar]

seeing how i'm not an expert when it comes to turbos: inducer/exducer means exhaust and intake turbine blades, right?

and what all will i have to take apart/reassemble if anything at all? and good numbers for how much i will have to torque the bolts to?

my camera sucks so that won't happen. measured everything with dial calipers and it all seems to be right.

What does the in/ex-ducer measure, if you don't mind my asking .

it has arrived... in a beat up box(thanks a lot DHL) and the exhaust gaskets a little beat up but other than that it looks fine. they got little plasic covers over the inlet/outlets.

Because the ebay turbo parts go by XS Power, lol.

[robertisaar]

u would be surprised, but alot of those ebay turbos are made form garrett and turbonetics parts,while others arent, but parts interchange between them all

robert let me know how long it takes u to get that turbo shipped to u, im either going to be getting one from ebay, or directly from an xs-power rep that i know depending on how long shipping takes

i had a money order in the mail before noon on the 30th, so i'll have to be sure to remember...i remember people telling me it usually takes 3 days to ship so however long it takes to get my money order to them + 3 days would be a good number

yeah any time u change a turbine shaft/compressor wheel it shoudl be rebalanced. if rebuiling the turbo the compressor and turbine wheels should be reasembled in the orintation that they came apart in to keep things within balance

I was under the impression that the comp wheel and turbine were balanced individually on the Garretts.

[boostedrs]

But be aware that Garrett parts are neutrally balanced, the ebay ones are balanced as a unit.

This means if you use parts from two different mfgr's, it will have to be re-balanced. If you interchange Garrett parts for Garrett parts no balancing should be needed.

a buddy of mine was running a generic e-bay turbo from e-bay on his b18 swapped civic hatch. it lasted over a year at 15 psi before it started smoking. the best thing asbout it was it was such a close rip off of a garret that it could be completly rebuilt with garret parts.
