im in a situation where i need to either fix one of my turbos or replace with a second hand unit or brand new one


my original t25 has been modified for my setup, ie flange welded to compreffor housing and i think a carbon seal. i had replaced the viton seal once when it got crushed and lead heaps of oil when runnin but after that another time i think the bearings ran dry and blew somoke again so i replaced it with a second hand t28 which also #### itself bearing are stuffed in that to as it has heaps or radial movent.

not to sure what to do rebuild one of the cores and get it ballanced or get new turbo??????

the t25 is carbon sealed and the t28 is dynamic seal just confirmed, the 28 looks pretty rooted on the inside. how much and where can i get a rebuild kit for the t25 and what is a ballace worth?????

Considered the wreckers or an importer........?

You should be able to find a replacement turbo out of a 180sx / 200sx / Silvia / GTI pulsar with reasonalby low kay's.......

If you can find one, it'll be plenty cheaper than rebuilding or buying new.

abc wreakers at oxley want a minimum of 300 for second hand turbos

It'll probably cost about $300 to rebuild with the added advantage of warranty (if done at a reputable shop).

mate im just goin through the same deal. my T25 seals let go. i'll have it back this week and i can let you know. i went rebuild for the moment cos i dont have time to do any mods

i can tell you that im paying $400 for a full gasket kit.

mines in a shop gettin seals done, but they said that if they found more probs when it was apart id prolly be better off gettin a new turbo.

turbo couldnt have gone at a worse time for me really, too much work, buying a house, just sold my other car

so is that 400 for full gaskit kit or is it the rebuild kit including seals annd bearings. that would include labour right? were you quoted for the ballance?
