[@desertrat1258]

Half these people giving you greif in the comments would get fluttered making a video like this trying to remember all the correct terms.. you did a great job showing us a visual representation on how to fix our turbo and thank you for that! Keep up the good work man!

[@backintogear9071]

u got so much grief from this video in comment section. yes there was some wrong terms but...who cares.... it's one the most detailed turbo rebuild vid so I thank u sir for ur upload

[@bradleyboodoosingh9016]

After months of searching, the video that showed really showed me how to disassemble a turbo is from 10 years ago. Thanks man. And happy New Years.

[@Nthefastlane]

Possibly, but, might not be..smaller turbo's are ballenced with the shaft and the turbines, where the bigger turbos, each individual part is balanced,so it doesnt matter how it goes back together

[@ninozepeda7419]

66MM turbo do you think that would need a rebalance?

[@BMWhips]

don't know what some haters are complaining about.. great vid & good job! saving peeps lots of cash...including me ;)

[@Luckye-pm9id]

Very helpful for me to gain an understanding.. helped me swap my China t3t4 with Garrett internals.. gets the hatters everytime

[@johno9507]

Piston rings is the correct term! The oil as well as providing lubrication also applies a pushing force on the shaft so there is no end play. So the shaft is also acting as a piston. (If you look at a cross section, the turbine end of the shaft resembles a hydraulic ram) There is a thrust bearing (the 270 degree bronze plate) on the opposite end to take up this force. Without the oil pressure pushing on the shaft, the thrust bearing wouldn't work. This is why they're called piston rings and not just an oil seal.

[@firetheposer]

Use 1500 grit wet sand paper on the shaft. I rebuild turbos (non bb) and it works great even though I would never use a shaft that destroyed

[@Nthefastlane]

Thanks for the compliment, really appreciate it :)

[@Nthefastlane]

No problems, It smokes a tad bit only because the shaft itself was messed up on the turbine side to begin with. I rebuilt another one and will be swapping them out later on. I have alot of friends that rebuild theirs and they are still running them 3yrs later with no issues and boosting 20+ psi.

[@cemchris]

Just a heads up you never want to use a wrench on the shaft nut. Use a "T" handle. Keeps the tip of the shaft from bending.

[@ryansmith1471]

Thank you, a decade later and your advice helps, hope you’re doin well.

[@DGrantG]

Great video! Will be using this when I rebuild my identical turbo later this week. Here's a link to my car smokin' like a freight train lol Also, the only thing is that the exhaust side is the turbine side and the intake side is the compressor side. You were calling the exhaust side the compressor side.

[@dogthat]

i found an smaller, thinner, and not as wide wrench and that helped. not alot of room to try and get the back plate off... tap on the wrench with a rubber mallet.

[@jeffhurckes190]

There are 3 different compressor side seal types for the T3. They are not interchangeable. So when you say they are all the same, they are indeed not. Disassemble your turbo to see if you have the 1 piece carbon seal, the 4 piece carbon seal or the 1 piece integrated seal in the thrust bearing.

[@Scottshaver22]

At 12:42, that would be why they are called a Jesus Clip! "Jesus Where Did That Clip Go"

[@Nthefastlane]

Yes, any t3/t4 kit on ebay will work. rage from $30-65$ shipped

[@charlesbrianmintus2727]

I am pleased to see this video and I will go ahead and repair my intake turbine. Thank you very much for this. Cheers;

[@jaredrider1168]

You said all t3 and t4 are basically the same but I missed the first few seconds of the video and I didn't know your compressor housing and turbine housing was A/R.60 and A/R.63 but my t3 is A/R.50 and A/R.63 but I went ahead and bought the kit online down in the link and without realizing and after rewatching the video so I could tear everything down to replace it all when the kit arrives but now I'm just praying to God it fits. If not idk what imma do I'll probably just buy another cheap china turbo for a few hundred bucks

[@viperfukgoogplus386]

I lost it when he pulled out the gator grip socket! 🤣🤣🤣

[@Nog311]

11:16 Why force a circlip in with a screwdriver if you have a pair of circlip pliers in the picture. ??

[@th3thin9]

as a tutorial for the people that dont have circlip pliers

[@stevebarnes9694]

Helpful for sure .....hopefully the kid went to engineering school. Smart articulate guy. Lots of money to be made designing the next revolutionary induction system.

[@Steve-kn1eg]

Those clams for the shaft bearing are called circlips

[@Nthefastlane]

You mean the O-ring seal on the bearing housing @9:19?

[@tracerx13]

Nice Video!!! Good camera angle and explanations!

[@liter91gt]

you took off the compressor housing, not the turbine (which is the exhaust side). as you said, they're balanced, but you should've marked the compressor blades position in relation to the turbine blades. that's the whole idea of "balancing." you're right about grinding the wrenches, but might want to try 6-point and not 12-point... and they're not pistons, that's a turbine shaft and that's the turbine oil seal, or ring, which sits between ring lands. and i'll stop there.

[@01ghostmechanic01]

Ummm yeah. This guy has no business working on a turbo. Wow!

[@Nthefastlane]

It is called a piston ring.Look it up.

[@ArtisticSep]

Yup it's called a piston ring.

[@heinz490]

youre right funny Word but right

[@heinz490]

like a clutch in a Automatic transmision

[@jgyrwa]

thanks for the video. So it not that important to pressure wash and heat treat the turbo before assembling the kit back together?

[@neonacr24l]

1:27 Its actually the compressor housing, turbine housing is the hot side

[@haidanh09]

Intake side is called compressor wheel and compressor housing Exhaust side is called turbine wheel/shaft and turbine housing. Good job tho.

[@Nthefastlane]

Anytime.

[@Nthefastlane]

Yep!

[@Nthefastlane]

Give it a good few wacks with a rubber mallet..takes a little force.

[@Nthefastlane]

Yes, your right I probably said it backwards :)

[@Arrchey249]

Any reason why you didn't upgrade to 360 degree thrust bearing?

[@luismiranda729]

Hey wats up I have a 88-89 rx7 turbo from Japan an I was wondering if any t3/t4 turbo rebuild kit would work on it ? An I liked the full videos on how to repair the turbo nice work!

[@youssefsaada2995]

where can i by spare parts for my vw bora tdi year 2004? i am in Europe

[@aripramli657]

shouldnt there be a gasket or o-ring between the compressor housing and the center of the turbo? wont it leak air?

[@Nthefastlane]

@MrTNJFILMS Yes, it's the same rebuild...I'll private message you later with a link.

[@VictorGarcia-zc7xi]

So this kit works with any t4? I got a 88/83 t4 turbo tht I need to rebuild

[@draginoo8378]

You have oil restrictor 1mm ? Good i see ? .. restrictor 1mm its not for ball bearing turbo ?

[@Slow_85zx]

What rpm were you launching at?

[@Trashbagfc]

what to do if I didnt mark anything when taking apart

[@EricAmericanTuner]

is there a way to turn the center housing 90 degrees? because one of my oil flanges is facing the same way as the compressor flange and its supposed to be facing downwards with the turbine outlet. thanks.

[@jawcozzy]

hi spot on vid,did the work ok after this? or how long to it last,,cheers

[@mousy128]

btw one problem i had. u had things backwards. u kept calling the comrpessor cover the turbine housing

[@alexalex-nm5oe]

hey i have a honda aquatrax 12r, is this a basic way to clean my turbo aswell? please let me know

[@f80dripkanwoke56]

Hey, will a rebuild. fix turbo shaft play? When do I need to replace the turbo cartridge?

[@Nthefastlane]

Yes a rebuild can fix shaft play. This all depends on how worn-out the cartridge is. If the cartridge is beyond it's service limits, then new journal bearings and a thrust bearing won't make much of a difference.

[@f80dripkanwoke56]

@@Nthefastlane Thanks man! I'm new to this turbo stuff and your input is greatly appreciated!👍do you know where I can get a rebuild kit for a greddy td06h-20g turbo? Ebay/ Amazon will work?

[@torresfamily6881]

please. could you cover how to carbon seal

[@joelucky3570]

Hi I have a Vw Passat TDI year 2002 What kit is required for a turbo rebuild and whare can I get it from Does eBay sell it? Thanks for your response

[@AiMusic539]

i have a t3/t4 its a 57 trim 50 a/r the video still works with my turbo right? and also are the Ebay kits even worth buying? will it hold up? and can you recommend any, thanks

[@kkeith15getz]

hey my garrett t20 turbo on my street bike is leaking a few drops of oil out of the cold side into my air filter that's clamped right on the turbo. it boost up as normal at 8 psi. what do you think is causing the oil leak? thank you

[@BigJnWorldWide]

Why didn't you get a not with a 360° thrust washer?

[@coltenW1]

hey i have a turbo for my civic, the brank is JMturbo and the model is a T3-a and it started leaking oil, i was wondering if any t3/t4 rebuild kit will work for it?

[@faintoverboost7524]

So, I need to get the Turbine (exhaust wheel) can I get one from you?

[@i8hamsters]

so what made your turbo blow ?

[@westonsmonte]

will it work on a ebay turbo or only name brand turbos

[@ArmoredBullTrading]

Snap ring = C clip ;-)

[@mazdacar707]

Hows this turbo holding up with the ebay kit?

[@coltenW1]

thanks!

[@NismoKAGE]

lol FUUUUU I didn't mark shit, ima just send it to garrett, those bolts holding the turbine housing are impossible to get off, so is the other side, good vid man.

[@Defconfx]

man I cant remember if my old T3 uses dynamic or carbon seal... its from an old SVO mustang

[@lpi6608]

i tried the clock way in unloosing the shaft snapped off the bolt it was counter clock wise .. had to order a new shaft balanced, a bit of a hack job with a 30+ kit from China

[@TEAMCREAM_96]

L Pi always look at the threads I almost did that too

[@Jack155Q4]

Just snapped mine too. It's a standard T3. Glad I had a spare!

[@55chh]

Snap ring!

[@Nazrac79]

Instead of grinding a wrench down buy something a little better than task force, even Pittsburgh is better

[@Scorpion85629]

Pistons on a turbo?

[@turbolabofamerica7350]

You use the upgraded brass 360 rebuild kit. The steel bearings in some of the earlier Garrett where failure prone. The steel bearing won't take the heat. pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=121386442373 ***Upgraded Garrett Precision Turbo 360 Rebuild Kit 50 60 Trim To4e To4b

[@UBUNTU805]

how good is rebuild kit like this ? is good for how long ?

[@heinz490]

its not the right way to do it buy a core its ballanced and ready to fit to the compressor housing and exhaust housing the cost is normaly 200$

[@smilinjoe23]

How do i know which turbo rebuild kit do i need? I bought a used precision turbo..both wheels have play on it. do i need a new wheels?

[@heinz490]

buy a new core the core is the vital part the compres and exhaust housing are normaly not damaged

[@mcplutt]

journal bearing turbos all have radial play without any oil pressure. just have to measure the play.

[@UnTamedMustang]

I wish i paid more attention when you said left-tighty, righty-loosey. Crap. Snapped the shaft.

[@rabbitpk5443]

Me too! Do you know where to get new shaft?

[@dogerman09]

Help my turbo wheel wont come off

[@SIRICKO]

The turbocharger must be rebalance once this Is done !

[@michaelclarke4629]

Not necessary if he marked the compressor blade in relation to the shaft plus the nut.

[@birdylover100]

Help! if i get a turbo charger off a diesel engine will i be able to use that turbo on a petrol engine

[@RadicalRevs]

+legioner9 it has been done all the time. Temp has nothing to do with this... Tuning and oiling is the key to swapping one in. Holset, BorgWarner, Garrett, etc.. all reputable manufacturers... Now the correct reason as to why a turbo meant for a diesel wouldn't be optimal on a gas engine is efficiency and being improperly sized.. exhaust housing/wheel etc but it will work

[@evananderson3350]

+legioner9 the egt's on my deisel go up to 1300 hundred. 800 is just getting threw traffic

[@evananderson3350]

***** well much more than that and the top of your pistons will melt if they are aluminum. the biggest problem is diesel turbos are way to big for most gas engines and they wont spool good and wont get good boost. you could be right about gas being higher temps im not an expert just saying what i learned from experience.

[@RadicalRevs]

+legioner9 So your telling me that they use different materials in something that uses exhaust to work and spins sometimes in excess of 100k rpm?? Yeah ummright I'm sorry I'm totally wrong on this.. Keep thinking that.... how does have aluminum pistons have to do with anything?? almost all manufacturers use aluminum pistons.. its all in tuning.. how about this while diesel turbos may be improperly sized sometimes.. then why don't ya look in to Holset and Borqwarner before you make stupid assumptions...

[@RadicalRevs]

a typical diesel particulate regeneration on a duramax 6.6l can have egt temps in excess of 1400*F...

[@Scottshaver22]

Buy some Snap-On wrenches! they won't spread!

[@fockyoumang]

That's just clocking the turbo

[@jamesking9385]

If you don't know where to buy steel wool at you shouldn't be anywhere near a car.

[@turbolabamerica]

You can use a 360 degree rebuild kit instead of the 270, this will help prevent future failures. We sell this kit on square and ebay www.ebay.com/itm/Upgraded-Garrett-Precision-Turbo-360-Rebuild-Kit-50-60-Trim-To4e-To4b-/111453427561?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item19f3245769&vxp=mtr squareup.com/market/turbo-lab/garret-to-e-degree-rebuild-kit-p-n

[@jeffsmart7552]

+Turbo Lab America I have a Banks Sidewinder for a 85 6.2 diesel Would you recommend the kit you listed above?

[@turbolabamerica]

The Banks Sidewinder that I have seen is a Mitsubishi TDO7 Turbo. If you send me some pictures i can confirm for you. I rebuild a sidewinder turbo before, it was a mitsubishi TDO7. The TDO7 rebuild kit is more rare, if that is what you have i will point you out in the right direction if you cant find that kit.

[@Steve-kn1eg]

Piston ring?????? Don't you mean shaft ring?

[@notsogreat123]

Just for your info the aluminum side is the COMPRESSOR not the turbine. Whatever !

[@devilDog93175]

You used a thumb tac to take out the snap ring, and then used snap ring pliers to take out the bearing.... your a potato.

[@jaredshaffer3901]

I made it a couple minutes in before turning the video off. 1. At 1:27, that is the compressor housing, not turbine housing. Also, it is the impeller, not turbine. 2. Your wrench is spreading because it is a cheap brand, buy something a little better next time. 3. Gator Grip, really? See comment #2. I'm not saying buy Snap-On but at least get the proper tools.

[@scotthamilton7556]

Jared Shaffer I think you are being a bit harsh regarding the use of what you consider the proper tools. If I recall, the end of the turbine shaft has an 8-point drive on it which would require a specialized socket. In addition, that 8-point drive often has some of the points ground away as part of the balancing process. Using a Gator-Grip socket actually gets a better grip in this situation than the "right" socket.

[@repo4sale]

at 4:37 that reminds me of my X-girlfriend!
