I think Stu @ MSD sells them

If not I'd get in touch with Danny @ RAD

Either of the 2 people James mentioned above, or Ebay - you can get 360 degree bearing kits on ebay aswell

sound
no specialist tools needed? how easy are second hand 48 comp housings to get hold of?

Graceland

I just scrapped a few compressor covers aswell from cosworth TY3 turbos

No specialist tools really, but you will need a 12 sided socket to remove the nose nut - off the top of my head it should be 11mm


and be very carefull, marking everything before you remove it to make sure it goes back in exactly the same place - this will minimise the chance of the turbine shaft + wheels becoming out of balance

DROPTOP

bollocks! always the way aint it . anyone else got one they want to throw in my bin? lol

mark the shaft/comp position? as in 12 oclock on both for instance?

Graceland

Mark them so you know where they will re-line up and all will be good.

take extra care when removing the bearings etc etc, and you will need a small pair of circlip pliers that compress the circlips

DROPTOP

nice one cheers.

what temp paint can i use on the housings/wastegate elbow? nothing bufty just nicer than oily rust colour 800c be enough?

Graceland

instead of painting, give the exhaust housing a going over with the wire brush on a drill - brings it up quite nice


Also the most important bit of advice I forgot is - take your time and do not rush

Depending what you want i can supply basic kit for 40.00 delivered, genuine garrett full kit for 55.00 and add a 360 bearing for 50.00. have plenty rst wheel and covers i think but no cos stuff im willing to sell currently

DROPTOP

what do the basic/full kits consist of? dont think i'll ever do more than 20 psi so am i going to need a 360?

dannyblackpool

T3 Kits contain

1 shaft nut (lht)
1 seal plate gasket
4 Seal plate bolts
1 Compressor cover gasket
2 journal bearings
4 journal circlips
1 front oil seal
1 rear oil seal
1 270 thrust bearing


Full kits contain above plus new bolts clamp tags, lock tags but are genuine garrett

basically if your doing a rebuild for use then basic is fine,if its for cosmetic reasons ie bufty then full kit is best

DROPTOP

sound i'll call you to order one once the water bill and council tax are paid

so using the basic kit im ok to bolt on a .48 housing?

dannyblackpool

yes m8

DROPTOP

cool.

you ever done anything with stand alone oil/water systems on turbo's? i dont want to put any more stress on the engine than i have to so been dreaming up a few ideas lol

daz1968

whats involved in fitting the 360 deg bearing as DIY, or is it best to get it done by a pro

Thanks
