I want to change Turbo sleeve to ball bearing

[RoseBrawn]

hi, if i want to change TD04 to Garrett GT25,

is it just plug out and install back?

anyway i don't think so!!
what do i need to change? custom header again?
what is the cost? any workshop want to quote to me by PM me?

engine L15A

it totally different flange..need to change manifold and downpipes also all the fitting required..a lot of work...and a lot of RM

If not mistaken, you may have to change the whole center portion (CHRA) to ball-bearing housing. Last I had mine replaced (for twins) was RM3200, aka RM1600 each set of twin ball-bearings. That if not mistaken, was minus the center housing.

You can PM sumdumfuk (Turbo-1), but I think you better off get a new turbo. No headache.

this also can be done..but sincerely u will pay more on machining cost..to fit in the new chra to the both housing...pay more on hybrid process..not on POWER.....find gt complete set..u'll be happier..:proud:

is it true Ball bearing life span is shorter? I heard from marine line, whereby they used engine 24hrs,
they said ball bearing need to do maintainance every 3k Hrs.

Any turbo in Marine applications need tremendous care due to the heat inside the engine compartment which is mostly very compact and tight..which is why marine turbos have a water cooled turbine housing.

As for performance cars, Garrett GT ball bearing turbos last easily 2x longer than any conventional turbo and takes up to 3x the thrust load on a journal bearing turbo and at the same time...spools quicker as well.

one other myth to clear up is that..ball bearing turbos CAN BE SERVICED.

hope this helps

bro sdf u mean only garrett b/bearing can be service or any type of b/bearing?
included hybrid by thong turbo?

 

[SDF]

most types.. well repair depends on what went wrong as well..but don't worry..

there are many myths out there that say Ball Bearing isn't servicable.. so i had to correct the fact and make sure you guys don't worry or panick..

hehe the old days i also alwiz thought the ballbearing turbo's cant be serviced
its been said somewhere u need a VSR machine to balance it n etc
and thts the reason the poor guys like me dnt opt for it :D kekekeke cos afraid if something goes wrong , it will be hell

i guess servicing & rebuilding are available these days

bt of cos , rebuilding depends on the damage done , even tong displayed a few turbos on the rack for display which he says "cant be revived from the dead"
