hi everyone

i have one hks 2530 which has a chip on the front wheel and i have another with buggered bearings.

my question is, can i take the good front wheel off and put it on the turbo with the good bearings and chipped front wheel?

obviously itll probably need to be balanced again but is it possible? worth it? or can i buy new wheels reletively cheap?

suggestions, opinions greatly appreciated

need to press the bearing sleeve out of the BB shafts without bending the shaft. Sand blast out all the carbon the turbine wheel. bath all the bits, balance the shaft with new comp wheel and shaft nut. put every thing back together the was it was and its ready to go. Not an easy job.

thanks for the help

You could try ordering a new cartridge through Garrett Japan , off the top of my head its cartridge number 446179-21 . If Garrett still make it and sell it as a spare part it should still be available .

Cheers A .

my only problem i cant find there details here. they should be open again tomorrow or tuesday but i cant find a number.

finding this stuff is so much easier for things in australia.

get a turbo shop to do it. Ive balanced turbos before (for heavy diesel machinery) and its not something you can do yourself AND will be an issue if it is out of balance

im not about to go do this by myself. i dont have the tools or know how to do it. (im sure i could pull it apart :rofl2: )

my question is if its possible or worth it..

You can pull it apart, but again there are tricks etc to doing this. The turbos i worked on where alot bigger then what you would have and where quite easy to pull apart. I think with smaller turbos there is a real chance of bending or snapping the shaft. It would honestly be best to just take them both into a turbo shop and ask if they can sacrifice parts from both and make a single working turbo out of the parts

you can try pulling it apart, you might be right but just saying probably best to just get a turbo shop to do it :)

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
    • Got the front subframe and suspension in.    
    • If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
