hi all ,I recently purchased a hks gt2835 pro s of a SAU member,

ive noticed it has some side play which is a little more than i would like but seems like it would still be ok,

the thing i`m not too sure about is front to back movement.applying forward pressure to the turbine shaft then counter on the comp end i get (without

measuring properly) movement forward and back.enough to clearly see and feel..from what ive read the desired end float is zero,

so my question is ...Is there a ok amount of end float or is it likey in need of a rebuild ?

i dont have a dial guage or the like ,is there another way to measure it ? cheers.

when I had this turbo check by a workshop they did say the movement I was worried about was normal for BB turbo and that once it had oil floating the bearings it would be fine....

they said I was worried about nothing and I took their word for it... it seems once I started searching BB turbos do have some movement in them...

hey cheers,I did consider oil pressure coming in to play,

but with my limited experience with turbos wanted to be sure b4 fitting it up,

"can you take a guess as to how much end to end movement?" At a guess not much more than 1mm or so,its hard to say though.

After what 75coupe said I feel much better about going ahead :cheers:

Thanks guys for your help.

my brand new garrett had .5 of a mm, had it off the car about a month ago (after about 10,000kms), still had .5mm... (or there about, something so small I can only just feel it when I push the blades in - think you'll find it will be quite normal )

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      He's right ~ there is no 'magic' with stuff like this ... it is more likely that in the process of looking for the short, the loom/wire 'incidentally' got moved in the process, thus removing the short ~ now, that maybe a wire (in a loom) rubbing against the edge of some grounded metal, that's worn through the insulation, causing the (now intermittent) short to ground. If one wire in a loom has been damaged in this fashion, it's reasonable to presume that other wires beside it may have also be damaged, and now exposed...you can bet the green crusty copper corrosion will start... ...that'd be a pisser, Murphy's Law steps right in as GTS observes...but worse, something like that is easier to find when shorted...ie; unplug bulb and fuse, and put multimeter in continuity mode so you get constant beep, and carefully poke about hoping to find if some movemet of the harness stop the beeping.... ...it's still all a bit Arnie tho' ..It'll be back... 馃槂

      Yeah, but knowledge of one wire's insulation worn through to short on earth implies the possibility of other wires doing the same. I had my power steering die, because the wire that runs to the solenoid valve on the rack runs in the same loom as the power wire for the O2 sensor. And when the O2 sensor/wire did something stupid and burnt part of that loom to death, the only indication was the shit(ter) fuel economy and the heavy steering. It took deep excavation of the looms in the bay to find the problem. Not wear through in that case, but similar shit.

      Ah, I thought he'd wired it to one of the spare ECU inputs! Too long ago since I read that post, ha ha. I've been arguing with radiators, harmonic balancers, alternators and rust since reading it.
