How to Rebuild Your Turbo!

[@Mikey83943]

Wow, a lot of haters. I think that was super useful as someone who hasn't rebuilt a turbo before. Despite the reverse thread explanation hate, I seemed to have understood exactly what he was trying to say. Yes, he used a metal hammer, barely tapped anything, and the world didn't end. Use a rubber mallet if you're worried about it.

[@Vacublaster1]

Not hate, this is a video on how to rebuild a turbo using the incorrect tools

Oh, give him a break. I would refer you to the KZbin video: "How to stop being anal". Thanks to the fellow who produced this.

[@ticohunte8307]

Lol in comment just to see if anyone noticed he said that... but that a mistake lol...

[@Simcadepro]

@@ticohunte8307 there to many mistakes in this video wouldnt recommend since the shaft isnt balanced. another human seeking attention instead of given proper guides.

[@jasonstrester]

You forgot the most important step. You must make marks so the wheel is on the same exact spot or it will be out of balance and take out the bearings right away. Now you have to send it in for balancing.

[@michaelthomas5781]

you'd think to use a rubber mallet, fuck it I guess

[@maurizioalfieri602]

If you replace the whole core, it's factory balanced, right? But if you dissasembly the core and repair / replace inner parts, how can you manage balancing then? Isn't necessary?

[@barenekid9695]

@@maurizioalfieri602 It's Mandatory . THE Trick is to carefully Scribe the Compressor wheel... Shaft... And Nut .. so they can be replaced on the EXACT position they were at from the factory assembly/balancing

shouldn't the core get balanced again?

[@metalrunze010]

This is the first time I see this machine, can you tell me what it does

[@onhawaii]

WOWOWO!!! Where is the torque wrench? Guys better use the right torque on the bolts and the nut!!! And if you don't want it to break again soon and complain about a bad rebuild kit just get that thing balanced before installing it. You balance you tires or not? This thing can easy spin 150.000-180.000rpm and if it is not in balance it will break fast! And please check all oil and cooling lines if they are clean! There is always an reason why they break! Like an closed return hose that fails to return the oil and the pressure blows your seal. This is only a half done Turbo repair and will not last long because important things are missing to do it right! And be aware of parts from the compressor wheel that can break and get into the combustion chamber and cause major damage to the engine!!! Please don't do it just like that!!!

[@randellgribben9772]

yes the manufacture use metric and standard size bolts on this turbo......you all should listen to this person... hes smarter than the engineers who desiged the turbo in the first place by using metric ans standard bolts/ threads

[@joemarshall5843]

didnt see marking alighment for housings or fan to exh side for balance .. did say hed tighten later to see if fits

[@kennethprice4109]

Very informative video. However; there was no mention of the torque or replacement pattern? As a high-speed high-temperature mechanism torque break would become imminent. It would be interesting to see a video of what one looked like after it blew up.

[@joemarshall5843]

best have long socket bar extension and other side socket in vice .. so no side load to risk bending shaft

[@Mantisworx]

What made you suspect that you needed a rebuild?Symptoms?

[@norwegianstud]

Nice vid! How often should you do this? I bought my V50 2.0d at 83K. When it was 63K it had to replace the turbo due to sloppy oil changes. It has now runned 107K (all in KM not miles). So I am thinking about doing this myself.

[@rpeco.729]

thanks, its a very good movie for rebuilding the turbocharger

[@GAMAWRLD]

Entire video.. . .A+

[@Snail2G]

I've heard the turbo would need to be sent out to have the compressor wheel rebalanced, etc. Is this true? If not I'll tackle the rebuild this coming weekend lol

[@andred348]

Your vid is a success bro.. I have followed it and it was hassle free.

[@louwrenspenning2763]

Neat and tidy, the way to do it!!.

[@waynebarnes1369]

Pretty sure there 4 c clips 2 for each bearing. You only should 2. Just wondering.

[@edbartek6550]

Did you really do that without balancing the shaft and blades? Also my condolences to the aluminum family, ouch.

[@TheBlackManitu]

Right!? I've thought the same.

[@russrusselson2136]

wish you would have shown you putting the rings in and attaching the parts

[@HanumanGoku]

just a question bro,.. dont you need to balance the shaft or the billets before reassembling? i understand that turbochargers spims up to 240k rpms. doesnt it require balncing so that the billets wont wobble and cause the journal bearing to premature wear? im asking because im also interested to rebuild my turbo and doing a hybrid billet swap. watchung you doing this made it look easy. anyway, thanks for yhe video. just a simple question thats all.

[@kingz.a1918]

you should mark the turbine and compressor where they were on the shaft. or need to do the balancing again

[@papi-champoo6033]

Brake cleaner would've been handy to use in that carbon build up and you didn't mark the bolt and shaft for balancing. Tsk, tsk that's a major important factor in taking apart any Turbo for a rebuild.

[@dillonmeier9783]

No need to balance

[@Surfo1980]

@@dillonmeier9783 Yes you need to Balance... since Balance procedure is for compressor and turbine axial weight differences, so they have to be marked before disambly, so when put together back again, they are in the exact same position they are balanced from factory.

[@jamesevertsen1261]

@@Surfo1980 i was wondering about that myself. i had buddy do his own rebuild and turbo would start making bad noises as soon as he made any boost.

[@gplusgplus2286]

What about wheel balancing? Since you removed them they are now out of balance and will cause vibrations

[@imGlobL]

The amount of people that have watched this video and have now gone and tried to rebuild their own turbo. Ticking time bombs lol

[@DanielJimenez-vt1op]

Do you know what’s the kit for a 2005 Dodge Ram 3500 diesel 5.9 turbo kit is and were to buy it.

[@Cjudd001]

so much for the balance of the turbo.. when you didnt mark the shaft against the compressor wheel for its clocking/position you just threw out any of the previous balancing done. That is the comp wheel should been set back in the same rotational position before you undid it.

[@awildanimal5226]

[@kareemgalaroza822]

so that turbo has no wastegate actuator..

[@robertwild4971]

My comment is great BUT! You should mark the alignment of the two turbines, they are balanced so need to go back in the same relationship, if you don’t you will effect the balance and at the RPM these spin at balance is critical to life.

[@minorpyro69]

lol, how heavy is that thing? You look a bit stressed there holding it.

[@kohlmannn]

They aren't exactly light, which is why people stress the importance of the manifold you use. If you buy a non cast iron manifold you're putting the weight of the turbo completely on the welds in the steel. You also don't want the manifold to hold the turbo very far away because of the leverage you create. Stress on expensive parts = bad. Blown turbo/manifold = bad.

[@ivormectin.3046]

Surely it's better to replace the core only...
