t25 rebuild

[R1CH4RD]

Ive got a t25 welded to an xud manifold. It smokes real bad and chucks oil out the exhaust. What rebuild kit do i need. Heard about 360 bearings buf not clued up on turbos any help much apprciated.

For the cost of the rebuild you may be better just getting another turbo, much less hassle as well.

I wouldn't recommend getting another blower, if its spluttering oil out, just buy a rebuild kit for £35 and rebuilt it yourself. Cheaper than another turbo, and you can upgrade parts to 360 thrust as you said. There is a wealth of guides on how to rebuild turbos a simple google search will find, and your blower is knakkered in its current state after all, so what you got to loose? would also recommend a staggered oil seal.

In fairness, it will only be your hotside oil seal thats blown, so you could just get away with putting a new seal in, but while its in bits might aswell do the journals/upgrade.

these two for a bombproof turbo, have built a few using these parts and they're still on the go on tuned xud's now.

you also have to question why it has failed, oil seal failure on hotside is down to egt's mostly, so you may have a tune thats too rich, try turning your fuel down otherwise it'll just do it again.

The turbo was sat a while. Its the you fitted for me dave when doin gov mod. I no none of its history. But them kits are nice and cheap so thats a winner fuel has been turned down for mot so barely over standard

Hmmm, surely it would be a good opportunity to get a more modern turbo. There is also a cost involved in getting the turbo rebalanced after rebuild if your doing it properly.

Dave i have a t25 in my room that you rebuilt, bought it off silverzx (trent)

Sorry bud I forgot its you, is that t25 STILL on the go?? surely you must have gone through several sumps of oil now? :p
We should have spent an hour of so rebuilding it before putting it on your motor

Getting it balanced is no issue as long as you mark the wheels so you can put them back into their original orientation.

Is this going on your motor? I know trent gave that death everywhere and it was fine haha

[padge]

yes dave it is lol, i have faith in t25's, spesh the ones running 360 bearings and new seals

I took it off. Running a k14 for now. It wae smoking way to bad to leave on. Couldnt see out the back window all the way home. Got some very dodgy looks on the a1. Think ill get a kit on pay day a lot cheaper than i expected which is always a bonus
