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 )

      Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.

      Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
