Re: Buying a second-hand turbo

[Daniel Kroehn]

Yeah, I've been told that about limiting the boost.  I'm pretty sure it will be big enough for what I want and since is ball bearing it should spool up pretty easily.  Thanks for the advice   Daniel Kroehn Recommending Datrats, supplying quality Datsun performance parts www.Datrats.com.au   ----- Original Message ----- From: andrew smith To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 15, 2001 10:14 AM Subject: Re: Buying a second-hand turbo Daniel, I thought the RB25 used a T3.Most of them are ball bearing ( can be identified by fatter bearing housing when compared to standard T3).They also use a ceramic turbine wheel and some also use a carbon composit compressor wheel.These are of the latest design and are very efficient.Most of the experts say don't run more than 15psi or they come apart.

I know to check the turbo shaft for any wear in the thrust washers, but how much lateral movement should it have? I've never really had much to do with turbos so I'm not quite sure how to tell them apart.  Your advice would be much appreciated! Daniel Kroehn Recommending Datrats, supplying quality Datsun performance parts www.Datrats.com.au --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
