Just recieved my HPTuners and Turbo Update!!!

[Derk_eliso]

there's more on my cardomain.. i haven't updated it

Schister?

It looks like an internally gated Super 60, but i cant tell the ar on the turbine side...it doesn't really matter as long as you know what kind it is. Blaast performance does rebuilds...i would just search "turbo rebuilds" and see what you find

[Lefix]

Yeah it saids that its a .48ar turbine, i bought a rebuild kit and gonna try do it myself :P

[Schister66]

just remember that turbos spin at 40,000-120,000rpm. They are precisely balanced. If you take it apart and put it back together correctly, you wont have problems. I would suggest marking the blades on each wheel. The compressor and turbine wheels seperate, but are balanced as a pair...good luck

[Lefix]

Hmm i see... the guy that sold me the turbo rebuild kit gives free balancing if you buy his kit, so i probably will send it to him or maybe i will have it done here locally..:P Is it hard to mark where the blades are at and put them back at the right spot?

[1991tercel]

I would send it off if i where you.

you never learn anything if you dont do it/break it yourself. Trust me.

Cost of rebuild and have it done correctly is ALOT cheaper than buying a rebuild kit, fucking it up, and having either someone re-do it or have to buy a new trubo. Rebuilding them is not that much.

This isn't one of those things that you can just jump into and put together as you want...if you decide to "figure it out" you're going to need another rebuild once your rebuild fucks up....just hope you dont ruin one or both of the wheels and/or housings

[Lefix]

Yeah i know, but isnt all i have to do is replace the bearings, the gaskets and the seals on the turbo? then have someone balance it for me?

Isn't that all i have to do?

[CavLCD128]

i would ruch mather (get it?) break something and pay double for it, and leave the situation knowing what i know now, rather then just paying someone to do it for me.

I installed my B&M STS in my old cavalier, and i broke the clip that holds the rods to the links on the STS, and i ended up paying Chevy 120 bucks for a new Shifter set to get thses 2 plastic clips. But when it came time to install the STS in my SRT-4, i did it in under an hour.

For the price it is for a rebuild it is worth having someone do it if you have no idea what you are doing.
