Turbo Rebuild

[uraah]

as the topic states guys been quoted $1500 by a place in dandy to rebuild stock 33 turbo, does that sound reasonable?

[KURAUN]

sounds more like the price of a hiflow

they will but in steel wheels and machine out the compressor and turbine covers for the bigger wheels

[Lil_Lucky]

which place did u go to?

which place did u go to?

also curious?

$1500 is the price to hi-flow your standard turbo.

Did he mention anything about adding larger steel wheels?

hello

there is very little difference in cost between hiflowing a turbo and rebuilding a turbo (ball bearing)

both steps throw out all of the junk and replace them with new items

its just with a highflow they put in larger flowing items and bore the housing out a little

when you recondition a turbo they put in new compressor and exhaust wheels

balance the bearings, new bearing pack (chra) and make all nice and schmick at 100,000+ rpm

so if you gettting a turbo "reconditioned" you would be silly to not highflow it for the extra $300 ish ?

that being said you can get your turbo reconditioned cheaply but it might not be balanced properly

or they may re-use the old existing wheels and just replace the bearings in it (which may be acceptable too, ask a turbo shop?)

i guess it must be the price for Hi Flowing the unit cos they are replacing the wheels with steel items and are maching the housing cos it was damaged when she went bang!

[geraus]

also would like to know where is a good place.... around my area..

Weeellll, I took mine to be HiFlowed at RE Customs (only guys in Australia or NZ to have removed the turbo on an M35 Stagea without dropping the engine).

I don't know where they sent my turbo to (somewhere in Dandenong), but it cost ~$1100 and now uses a T3 core.

Add labour charge on top of that to remove/install.

If you can do it yourself, just ask one of the guys at RE where they send their to. Can't hurt.

ohh ok , thanks for the reply, did you feel a big diffrence? like did u feel the geforce? how much PSI was it boosted to? did it feel good? did u feel like it was worth it. because im very keen..

[paulr33]

there would have to be over 100 threads in the forced induction section on here on highflowing a turbo, the costs, the info, gains, back to back comparisons, charts, wheel specs, various places to do and a stack of other info

Ok, in order...

No problem.

Yes.

Yes.

It was boosting 0.8bar @ 3200rpm (which is standard for the stock turbo), but now boosts to at least 1 bar @ 3800 (exhaust allowed it to breathe). I say a minimum of 1bar because my factory boost gauge only goes to 1bar.

Ooh yes (Brad made the comment that it is by far the quickest wagon he has ever been in. I just don't know how many performance wagons he has been in )

Didn't really have a choice, but definately.
