How to Rebuild a Turbo! (Broke & Boosted Ep4) 

I love how all these videos are so realistic for the average guy. Working outside in the backyard with basic tools oppose to in a shop with hundreds of dollars of air tools and lifts. Keep the videos coming.

Thank you for your tutorial video its a big help.

Two questions: How do you remove the wheels when the wheels won't come off the shaft? And I noticed you gave no time in the video to inspecting and measuring the shaft for wear. I understand the bushings are a brass alloy and are meant to take the abuse rather than the shaft, but I would think there would still a shaft inspection step. There most certainly are wear marks on your shaft in this vid. Nothing of consequence, I'm sure, but wear nonetheless.

link to the rebuild kit please

Man where the balance .... you can not work like this

i watched this like a year ago and it was way above my head i love coming back to old videos like this and having it all make sense to me

the audio is dirty nasty low like ruddnik's miata

I got my GodSpeed Ko4 turbo off of craigslist for 50$s then I got a rebuild off of eBay for 40 something dollars.. it's been almost 2yrs now and no problems at 22psi! but because I just mentioned it, my car is sure to blow up now.

Good video. My t25 Emusa is smoking bad. Please advise.

Awesome video! I love the fact that you did it outside with basic tools, no fancy shop with air tools. I'll use this video as a guide to try to rebuild my truck's turbos. I have an 07 International 9400i with a Cat C-15, 1.3 million miles, my turbos work but look like they're about to crap themselves any minute. Is there any rust prevention to coat the turbos with?

Recently I've been watching your videos religiously in preparation for my own turbo Miata. Hahaha, thanks for the informative videos!

lol u oiled that shaft like a pro.. ahahahah jk jk

WOOOO FINALLY! bummer about the mic mistake in the middle, but a quality video as always!

Hey man what would be the best quality rebuild kit or does it really matter?

Love these Miata videos man. I really appreciate the effort and time put into these videos. Totally changed my mind on Miata's. I now want to buy one and boost it as well!!

I noticed you did not mention having the turbo re-balanced. While in theory if you mark the compressor and shaft, and reinstall carefully, it should be balanced, in theory this is not always true. Even if it is misaligned ever so slightly, this can throw the balance off

This is probably one of the most useful videos I've ever seen

I've got a 1996 GQ patrol with2.8 liter diesel with a t28 on. I heard the first GU with the 2.8 litre turbo was downsized to a T25 as spools quicker. The turbo never been touched on my car I'm thinking maybe putting on a smaller turbo. Other words I think I have to rebuild this one cheers Graham

Can you please tell me where I can buy turbo charger kits for Hino 2016 , 268 model ?I need few turbo kits I'm really screwed I can't find it anywhere. Thanks good man

Oh god, my turbo just went out on me and I was freaking out on a rebuild. you don't know how happy I was seeing your channel name on the first video that popped up

Hey! So even though i marked my compressor wheel/nut/shaft together, i’ve managed to lose my markings, what to do now?

Love how in depth these are, you never miss a thing.

Wrong, don't say you have to be a little careful and then use the wrong hammer, it should be a rubber or plastic mallet and NOT a geologists hammer or whatever that is.

Hey Greg! Where’d you get your snap ring pliers? I have bought 2 pairs now that are both too small.

I'm def gonna boost mine! I'm putting rx-8 seats in my miata so if you guys wanna see take a look at my channel

Great videos man! I'm in the middle of turbo'ing my 93 sadly I had to set the project aside for winter, Luckily you'll be way ahead of me by spring so I can watch all your videos right before I do my own :) obviously with alot of other research as well

Is t25 turbocharger compatible with Detroit Diesel turbo ? Thanks

So im being quoted $1000 at least, for this??? So i guess im doing it myself now 🤣

Thanks for the video! I’ve always wanted to rebuild an old turbo I have and now I know how to do it 👍

Man your volume keeps getting lower and lower in this video :( ....

Miata wars. Episode 5 the Miata strikes back Awesome video man thank you! Can't wait to do the same

That bronze "washer" isn't a washer. It's the Thrust Bearing

hey your oil restrictor is too smal for journal unless this is stock

"that's how you rebuild a turbo" holy fuck people, this turbo does not still spin today.. be careful who you listen to 😂😂

That turbo housing is clean , compare to the one from my car. Thanks for the video! Can you make a video from a Volvo xc90- D5 - 136 KW, how to rebuild?

LOL! my td04 broke. Just googled turbo rebuild and this came up! I guess i came full circle because you are of the reasons to turbo my mx-5 x)

What was wrong with the turbo as everything looked fine on dismantle?

Did you have any issues getting your car smogged in California with the t25 turbo?I was trying to stick with the Greddy TD04H-15G kit since it has the carb sticker.

I need to rebuild my semi truck turbo

best to undo fan nut with a log extension socket bar and have a socket in vice for the exh side ,,,, so not risk bending shaft .in .the push down method shown ,,,also can fit carbon seal on intake side round alloy thing ,, so you can use with suck thru carburettor.. i have one on suzuki 1100 motorcycle

Nice vid easy to follow good info ! Nice job👍 I have A4 b7, and it's just starting to make a flutter sound on its own, without a whistle or bov!

Awesome video! Purchased a T25 Garrett Turbo today for cheap. One random question I had, how are you deleting the AFM since Broke and Boosted will be using a stock ECU? Just curious, keep up the great vids.

Hey guys, do you have an eBay seller that you would recommend? Interested in getting t25/t28. Thanks!

thanks for give us this video

Thanks for the great video. So I can actually rebuild without taking the trouble to get the turbo rebalanced? I’ll do that trick where you marked a line on it. Nice one.

isn't this turbo the bell engineering china charger? Would you recommend the bell engineering china charger or the enjuku t25? Keep up the videos Greg

Do u need to balance?

all of these miata videos have made me certian that i want one for my first car my plan is to get a 1.6 liter and vinyl wrap it a royal blue, raceland coil overs, at fist i want to get a full manzo exhaust system and then go turbo when i can, some sort of a "cold air" intake, 2 inch wheel spacers, and maybe some white plasti dipped diamond steelies or maybe some nice bbs rim but not to sure yet

is it ok to have a little play of compressor wheel inside the housing ? or it shouldn’t move at all?

Thanks save a lot of money

Bro I have watched a lot of your videos and they are so helpful, thank you!!

Will this stop the oil leak

So ebay turbos are great?

Thank you sir

can you take a china turbo and make it ball bearing? i heard that you can but idk how. can you explain how i could do that?

Crap I have a feeling all the rebuild parts might be discontinued

Would you recomend buying a turbo apart and assamble it at home?how do i balance it if so

Nice vidio. I like it

when i try to find a t25 turbo, the results come up as a gtx2860r with a t25 inlet, is this what im looking for??

Does anyone have a link to a T25 turbo. I can't find one. Thanks

lmao it's like the same amount of play

200 bucks for a real t25 with a extra one for spare parts a good deal?

Beautiful

TheCarPassionChannel, Idk if you still read the comments on these old videos, but I’ve got the same t25 from enjuku for my 94 miata. I spent a couple hours today trying to remove the snap ring to clock my compressor housing and I broke both of my snap ring pliers. This thing is so tight even after a bit of wd-40. I also destroyed some skin on my hand when the pliers slipped off and pinched it, so I’m taking a break for a bit haha. What snap ring pliers did you use for this video?

Awwww yeaahhh! :)

OK thank you very much !! keep those videos coming man!!:)

I paid $150 for a used Garret t25 with no shaft play. Did I do decent, or did I get hosed? Thanks for the vid BTW, I bought the new one because my old one is about to go. Now I can rebuild the old one and have a spare!

I rebuilt 3 turbos now and this is how I do it but the most important part is getting the correct parts cuz I rebuilt 2 with bearings fans and compressor shaft 10k km later no problem but 1 with only new bearing and rings but they were slightly wider and scrashed the housing and leaks way worse than it was

Do you think a turbo off of a r33 would be decent I've heard that some of them blow up cuz of the ceramic turbo blades

hi Craig . awesome video as always buddy!! I was just wondering if you could help me out I have a gt2871r turbo on my car and I need to buy a banjo bolt for my turbo. can you please recommend to me how many millimeters the hole should be on the banjo bolt so the car doesn't smoke from the exhaust? Thank you

Right

Would you recommend using a torque wrench or it's not really necessary?

How do you rebuild it to make more boost? Just curious, my turbo is almost through the door and the one that comes with the vw stage 2 kit says they used same housing but its $1800!!!

aø ..s

Hey man, know this is an old video, but im hoping you can answer a question for me, on the exhaust side it looks like a piece of pipe has been cut and welded to separate the chamber between exhaust and wastegate. Was this to prevent turbulence and pressure build up? Cheers! Really enjoying you videos, they are a great help for my current turbo project!

It's been over 3 years...are you still broke?

what's your advice on driving a car with a blown turbo?? I have the chance to get a pretty clean 240 but it has a blown turbo and I can't tow it... car is 10 hours away from me...

Dude why don't you have more subs? Your videos are fantastic!

What O-rings do you use on a turbo

Hey Greg , I have a 99 miata and I'm starting the process of piecing a kit together . Do you think a sr20det T25 would be a good turbo for a miata ?

Alright so i know the turbo u have for project broke&boosted is a t25, i want to know what turbo u have on ur other miata? Great video by the way! Thanks in advance.

or*

quick question : is the disassembling process the same (or similar) for all turbos ?

How do you go about choosing the right turbo manifold? Off the top of my head, I would think that price point, construction, position, application and performance are some of the metrics that one would use when choosing one. What are your thoughts?

Another excellent vid... I will be doing the full timing belt / front seals / waterpump as per your video in a couple of weeks, and during next year make everything stronger and prep the car to turbo later in the year. I'm planning to use a TD04 turbo off an impreza, and want to learn more about wastegate actuators and aftermarket boost controllers....Basically how to set and control your boost (i plan to use a p+p ecu) but want to know how these things can be set physically, and what might work well... Kinda hoping you might be planning on covering this... Keep up the excellent vids... Cheers, Ollie.

🔥🔥🔥🔥

This is a cool video on how to rebuild your turbo, I think I have a T 25 laying around from a SR 20 DET. I think I will try to rebuild it using this video. Thanks !!

Ford Transit table

💚🤘🏿

What do you think about the roller bearing upgrades they offer?

Is a turbo rebuild utterly necessary? I know its keeping on the safe side but are the chances high for them to konk out if not rebuilt?

What caused the shaft play before rebuild? Were the journal bearings scored/damaged?

never seen anyone turn an allen key the way you just did lmao

wat

Very nice video! Keep this good job!

Was broke and boosted solid for what it was? Doing the same setup for now. Just want to know if it's worth it

great video, very in depth. I'm new to this channel so will definitely be subscribing and checking out your other vids

Most used turbo for sale say slight shift play of noise. will this rebuild kit fix that?

would a t25 be good for a 1.8? Also what turbo do you recommend for a 1.8?
