As title.
I think i may have blown my second hand (Suspect anyway) turbo bearings. Does anyone have (or can get hold of) a T25 turbo? Preferrably from a
renault 21 but anything of a similar size will do. Failing this, its a new £300 (upgrade) job from the states.
I thought that the T25 was a popular upgrade for R5
i have a turbo from a Volvo B5234T engine. I was told it was a good running engine when I bought it
I have switched it out for a supercharger

Rover T16 has a T25 on it, mine does anyway, hopefully going to my long term plan for a cheap turbo zetec
This may help Link .I have had these kits in the past and he is very quick a very reasonably priced.
200SX as well.
Can you just not get a bearing kit off ebay for about £50 and see if it'll do the job?

I could, but im looking at cheap alternatives as its a prototype at the moment. Stripping it completely will be a last resort, where ill clean everything thoroughly and build it to last.

it has covered 50,000 miles and is mint...should be good for 280 bhp, it is very fast spooling too, but it has a different flange to a garret unit, i
could possible cut you a pair of flanges to suit thou???

td04 is the same as the garret t3 , so IIRC it will fit the t25 , but not the 3 bolt flange of the t28 .
any number of the volvos have td04 .
940 - 13c
850 - 15g
s70 - 16t-19t
c70 - 18t
etc etc .
ive got t3 flanges off the shelf for a couple of quid , but i think you wont need it .
some pics of the unit.....i had a t3 off of an rs turbo that i once used to turbo charge a zeetec...i remember the inlet flange was a 4 stud square
flange and the outlet was bolted to a cast elbow, so they may be the same??
Thanks fellas, a big help.
Is it possible to unbolt and rotate each of the housings to the correct orientation? The one above for example, would have the oil inlet and outlets
horizontal if i mounted it to the existing manifold.
The other option of course, is to make an elbow for the manifold, but i want to keep things simple.
Ive found a replacement, courtesy of Boggle, and have my eye on the new replacement next year once the tests are complete....

This would be my opportunity for Megasquirt and an engine rebuild.
I'd be very warey of a "china charger".
Better with a 2nd hand unit off ebay.
200sx go for less than £50 on ebay sometimes.
And yes, either end can be rotated to any angle - just the middle you have to keep vertical with the oil drain underneath.
