Just use thr T25 until it blows, and in the mean time, start savin for a good turbo.

To have the T-25 rebuilt...you might as well go find yourself a used T-28. Rebuild kits for the T-25 are cheap, if you do it yourself. IIRC, theyre like $60for a full rebuild kit.

any idea where to find turbo rebuild kits?

nrg · 08-09-2006, 01:30 AM

ebay has some. but what about balancing?

vincerr · 08-09-2006, 05:53 AM

do they make them for the t28 too? i got one from a sunny. the turbo doesn't boost for shit so i'm wondering if it's the turbo. i checked for leaks but to no avail.

what are the typical indications your turbo is blown? mine doesn't show much shaft play, but there is some, little bit.

any advice on a completely frozen c-clip? i needed to rotate the housing before to mate the turbo with the sr20 and my settup. i ended up just tapping the housing instead of releasing the clips.

but wait...

could rotating the housing like that have effed my turbo?

dunno. i'll try swapping a t25 in this weekend.

thanks in advance.

well the only reason i dont want to put it back on is i want to make sure my freshley rebuilt motor is running at 100%.. i dont want the turbo to be kicking out oil and me not able to be sure if its turbo or motor.. but yea illl just find a clean stock t25.. slap it on, boost it at 10 and blow it! jk lol..

thanks

replacing the T25 with another one is like dumping a fat girlfriend for another
