i need to have an old 13b eclipes turbo rebuilt.lmk if their are any reasonable priced rebuilders out their.

[marcj]

you can get 14b's used less than a rebuild kit costs.. it's more of a gamble though. just a suggestion

[allgo88]

not looking to spend anymore money on used turbos.im either going to have this one rebuilt,or try to do it myself.besides,eclipes turbos are selling high these days.

$50 shipped is high for a 14b?

[90turboteg]

it cost more to rebuild one of those turbos than their worth... id try to find a decent 14b, whats wrong with it?

[allgo88]

smoking.alot.their was very little shaft play.
not interested in a 50 dollar turbo.that would be the same problem all over again.
this is my setup.btw.

[90turboteg]

those turbos are really easy to rebuild, as long as you have basic mechanical skill. and some c clip pliers, call a few local shops to get the shaft straightened also mark the impeller to the shaft where it was sitting then when you bolt the impeller back on it should be good. but i always take my shafts to a local shop to get polished/straightened. they dont have a spin balencer but its the next best thing without forking our thousands on a spin balencer

as long as you get it straightened with new bearings and seals it will be fine, and tq everything to spec, also run a oil restrictor if your not already, the oil seals blow in mitsu turbos

i have had great service from gpopshop.com

there great guys.

I wouldnt waste my money balancing shit. just rebuild it yourself, and slap new bearings in when they get worn.  Pretty sure the torque spec for the comp. nut is 16in-lb, let me double check that though.

I also had good service with gpop

Hf mani's sit pretty low, whats your oil drain look like?

[PhilStubbs]

i used to be really against rebuilding turbos the DIY way, but i had a blown CDM turbo and a free rebuild kit so i said why not. that turbo has been great to me. spools nice, no smoke and no shaft play and it has a ton of hard miles on it. as long as there is no damage to the wheels i say go for it. make sure you mark them so they go back the way they came off

fuck.the kit i need is 120.00 but i can get a 16g for less than 200.00 bucks.but im taking a chance of getting a bad turbo again.i might as well learn how to rebuild one.the way i treat shit,i will need to do it again anyway.

WHEN you need to rebuild the turbo again (not difficult) you will be buying a $120 kit as apposed to the $30 TDO5H kit for the 16g, and make more useable power.  The 16g aint the greatest, but it gets the job done.  I destroyed many corvettes with my 16g integra.

who has the contact information for the guy on ebay that balances rotating assemblies for like $25?
