Get a 360' kit to upgrade the bearing. I got the kit from some turbo supply place around £80
Got a link mate ?
Try www.turborebuild.co.uk a 360' race rebuild kit only cost me £55.00 with their 20% off deal and it turned up next day! highly recommended.
iv just checked my turbo and it has some side-side play and a fair bit of in and out would this kit fix that ?
and i assume that would be why its smoking
Yes the kit comes with all new bearings thrust coller and oil seals, will def be why its smoking!. the in and out play comes from when the thrust coller gets worn or damged. Stripping the turbo down can be quite tricky, you'll need decent large circlip pliers and medium circlip pliers and a hook and pick set for removing the journal bearings.
Do i need to get it balanced or are the t28 like the td04 where the components are individually balanced so no need to mark it up ?
Also whats the torque setting on the nut cheers
You can get away with marking the nut to the shaft and compressor wheel with a paint pen or marker, but would be best to get it balanced mate. I think its 11 nm to torque the nut someone else may confirm that.
how the hell to you hold the other end of the shaft ?
There's plenty of video's on youtube to show you how to do it, i used an multi point 8mm socket fot compressor wheel and 13 mm multi point socket for the exhaust turbine side, but remember its a left hand thread so u undo it clockwise .
All sorted and rebuilt with 360 'race' kit.
Just gotta heat wrap the manifold and stick it back on
Nice one! what was the play like after?
Goodstuff! unfortunatley my turbo had quite a worn shaft so still had some play after rebuild and has started smoking again already!. did you fit a staggered rear oil seal?
I fitted the seal supplied in the kit ?
Ok that'l be a standard rear oil seal then, will be fine as long as your not running over a bar of boost.
peak 15psi holds 14psi
ill be happy if it no longer smokes lol
and boosts aswell :-)
lol yer i cant stand the smoke!. just gona bite the bullet and get a new gt28r now.
