[@FayeHadley]

Cheers from mark in New Zealand

[@FayeHadley]

That is amazing, I'll make sure he reads this!!!🙏🏻

[@farmergirlofchickens8779]

Ahhhh, I didn’t want it to end. So this resonate frequency, evidently that’s how I’ve been opening my pickle jars. Lol That was amazing watching this delicate deconstruction. I can’t wait to see it put back together, but better!

[@FayeHadley]

I always look forward to your comments!! YES!!! RESONANT FREQUENCY TO OPEN PICKLE JARS BAAHAHAHA!!!!!!

[@fprs2dio]

I enjoyed watching this video, Danny make it look so easy. He is the TURBOWIZARD. Keep them coming. Love that ending with the purple light on Lillith. "Shop Chicken Studio" rocks!!!!

[@Reaper33333]

This man right here is a master at what he does. Very informative. Its awesome to see someone who is such a pro. Love you videos Faye.

[@bowmanjeff8]

Danny and you both have the same excellent tool in your bag .. Problem-solving logical brains..

[@jeremyanthony9300]

Love you Faye. Love your bubbly personality , Love your channel.

[@johnmbell4642]

Hey Faye, A very nice production this is why I respect you guys so much Just very genuine you guys just want to help. you know that old saying you don’t have to brag your friends will brag for you in this case the videos themselves are like your friends if that makes sense I’m glad you guys are out there I’m glad it’s going so well have a good one🐔🐔🐔👍

[@motorheadmom2096]

I becoming a big fan of Danny. He's very detail-oriented and is great at explaining what he's doing. I've never messed with turbos, so this video was awesome because I always like to learn new things. My great grandad showed me the trick of tapping nuts and bolts with a hammer, most people think I'm crazy when I tell them to do that. Great job guys!

[@FayeHadley]

Thank you so much!!

[@redman91563]

Passing the torch! Yeah buddy!

[@michaelmcginnis9029]

Thank you so much i have an Audi 97 a4 that my turbo needs rebuilt badly and i haven't touched it because i couldn't find this. I cant express how thankful i am you just made this video.

[@FayeHadley]

Thank you so much for appreciating it!! It took me all day Saturday to film, all week to edit, and Danny's entire lifetime to learn the knowledge. Having appreciation is EVERYTHING.

[@woodyjade9097]

That was cool!!!!!!!!!!! thank you Faye and Danny!!!!!!!!!

[@1977jelliott]

Indexing the housings... we have a process in our shop when we pull apart turbos to centre punch the compressor, centre and turbine housing in line with the turbo oil feed line, that way, if one of us say gets hit by a bus, someone else knows how it goes back together.

[@paulone-off7286]

16 mins or so in is exactly why I replaced the core rather than stripping it and replacing seal and bearing. More wise words fro the man Danny :-)

[@yogib37]

This is awesome. I would be afraid of screwing it up. Danny is the Grand Wizard. He is so much full of information. It would be cool to have your turbo power coated Purple :D

[@mariolastra9709]

Another fantastic video with two awesome teachers !

[@wayne9518]

A few minutes in a shot of Danny instantly made me think of both Grandpa Munster and Eddie Munster. Rewound and rewatched and nothing. Only me?

[@supraslug3948]

Love you Faye and Danny too!

[@theedge5584]

Another great video. Never a let down with Faye and Danny. Lots of thanks

Thanks for the tip on the Tap Danny 👍

[@chadchampion4952]

[@mikeb8811]

Wow, fastest 28 minutes ever. Awesome Faye and Danny👍🏻

[@FayeHadley]

Thank you!!!!

[@psianide23]

Great video. I've never had or even considered a turbo in any vehicles I've had, but watching this repair video and other videos Faye and her friends has done is so cool and interesting for everyone. Thanks a lot, I can easily see why repair is so much fun for everyone.

[@dannylister558]

Dang it's a pleasure to watch two experts explain their craft..thank you

[@MrJoshlemons]

How we separated them while I was at cat , we would hang it and tap one end off while keeping our hand in place ready to catch, we used brass hammers a lot.

[@tonyb4876]

Watched all 3 vids. Good info, but now need some silent solitude to come down off Danny's breakfast of Jolt soda, pixie sticks, white cross tabs, pot of full caffeine coffee poured over sugar-pops cereal topped with a glazing of meth/coke frosting... Thanks for the calming chicken clips at the ends! Helps with the spinning and sudden stopping feeling encountered while watching n listening. Will be checking out your other vids as soon as my balance has returned to normal!

[@DuddiesAdventure]

Great Video! Makes me want to dive into a HE351CW for my Cummins! Thanks for the fantastic video!

[@tonyrock5313]

Danny is a great guy for deep info.

[@ntgm20]

Dang Danny, how in the world did you get those off like that? I know you sound impressed too. The comment about not using a torque wrench makes sense to me once you mentioned you could damage the shaft. Thank you Faye and Danny for sharing!

[@sonny.v925]

Thanks so much for sharing this video, Faye! I've rebuilt quite a few turbos by replacing the CHRA/cartridge because I knew if I took it completely apart, I'd never get it balanced right again. Really cool to see a full teardown! Props for getting Danny to talk and to Danny for sharing his knowledge! Shop Chicken Studios. 👍🏻

[@1996turbocamaro]

This is a really great video !! thanks Faye for posting it ! :)

[@FayeHadley]

Thank you!!!

[@brettpainter3772]

Such a great video series! Using the info to rebuild and clock a TD04 15G for my Volvo build. Thank you and Danny both for this.

[@1977jelliott]

PS, Danny, an air hammer is what we use along the centre and turbine housing split line to loosen them up and get the housings to move.

[@fredschmidt6802]

Danny is as bad as my father was just very funny . Take something complex & make it simple stupid . Glad he is spilling the beans . Love the chickens as the egg turns

[@RANGUIDRY]

Thanks so much Danny and Faye.

[@FunnyFernandez]

It’s a blessing to have a guy like that as sort of a mentor- i had one once and he slept with someone’s wife and now dead.

[@bowmanjeff8]

Great video .. I am not a mechanic but I like to learn/understand as much as I can. Thanks for sharing this.

[@amrana4338]

great informative video, thanks both. this will come in handy if i ever need to do the CT12a's on my soarer

[@ahmadghosheh3104]

I don't have turbos and not likely to either. But, my eyes were wide open and watching with great intensity that the whole 30 minutes flew by. Can't wait for the next one. True master in the age of throw away and replace.

[@swrxs]

You say easy. Anyone I have ever worked for says, "Just R&R it's cheaper". I never get the fun jobs. :-(

I'm not insinuating anything but I've never seen anyone talk and move as quickly as Danny unless they have a little sumthin' to give em' a bump in energy. Wish I had his energy! Great video...a lot of Diesel guys are thanking you guys for this one.

[@elainesoliz2205]

He is like this once he has his coffee. The first 30 minutes of everyday are really quiet at our house, but once the coffee kicks in, watch out!

[@cencoast_7.340]

Elaine Soliz Lol, that’s hilarious. Have you ever tried giving him a Redbull? He could probably add another bedroom to your house in a matterNot hours!

[@wjanis1]

Corvair turbos are great. For early 60s street cars. Just don’t replace the leaky oil line with a zerK fitting.

[@leroyfravert5658]

It appears the nut on the impeller shaft was designed to be installed and removed with a spline socket or wrench. Snap-on sells spline sockets and wrenches for aerospace and military applications.

[@FayeHadley]

YES!!! I have seen them before, but have never owned any.....

Man Danny is a pro I would have never thought how to restore a turbo.

I wish this was about 9 months ago, I did my turbo on ford transit, not quite the same but hey it's a turbo. Replaced the core and it's still running sweet :-).

[@1977jelliott]

PPS, the turbine and the compressor wheels are usually individually balanced to neutral balance these days, no need to align turbine and compressor. That being said, you have to know what you are looking at to know.

[@FayeHadley]

"these days" probably doesn't cover 1989?

[@1977jelliott]

@@FayeHadley nope haha, 1989 was long before that sort of precision! That being said, you could count on all the pistons in a Toyota engine of that vintage to be within a couple of grams in weight of each other 🤘

Can you do a vid on how to convert a single downdraft Stromberg carb to duel Weber’s on my ‘75 MG

[@JPTenada]

Is there a reason to be glass beading turbos and heads instead of soda blasting? I know glass beading is more efficient but wouldnt soda blasting be less risky/invasive?

[@onhawaii]

You forgot to mention to check the oil drain hose. And the best is to use a new one. They plug up with burned oil and the pressure makes the seals fail. That is what starts all oil burning in a turbo. It even makes it riskier with a chimed oil pump that makes more pressure. You should think about a restriction in the oil feed to lower the oil pressure in the turbo. Because not every where is higher oil pressure a better thing. If you use non turbo tested oil on the car the oil bakes faster because it does not withstand the high heat from the turbo. If you cant get the oil you use normal you also need to check if it is turbo tested and not only if the viscosity is right.

[@FayeHadley]

Didn't forget, just have that part uploaded for my patreon page! This was a teardown video only.

[@onhawaii]

@@FayeHadley That is in my opinion worth to mention in the tear down. Check the oil drain. Because it is a check on the is condition.
