Very helpful,had stuck unison ring 05 lly,I used small amount anti seize,where I clearance the rust ,didnt take it all down like you did,awesome vid

Thanks for the Great Video, you really put things in perspective, Do Appreciate it.

Brilliant! I really enjoy these videos!👍

Very helpful video keep them coming and my Godbless your business!

Great video thank you

Great video. Your video has some great information. Allot of folks recommend having the parts balanced. I read that On the Garret Turbos that all the components are balanced individually? Does balancing matter when you purchase a new turbine and a compressor wheel?

nice video. Thanks. for making it. It would be nice if you said the Ft/Lbs specs on the Compressor wheel and other bolts but great video. I just rebuild mine completely from watching yours and I've never opened a turbo before.

Have u found an answer buddy?

Great video, will that be the same process for a duramax 6.6 3500hd 2014

The claw hammer is a nice touch...

Do you have any video s on balancing the turbine?

Can I take the 10 blade exhaust wheel/shaft assembly and compressor wheel out of a Garret Powermax for an 05 6.0 powerstroke and swap them into my stock LML duramax turbo?

I'm in the process of rebuilding my LLY turbo. My Vane Piston o rings were basically gone when i pulled it out. I put the correct ones with the square edges. Now the piston is hard to move around with the little vane ring handle. Is it supposed to be hard to move in and out with new o rings?

Great job What the rebuild kit part # for lml turbo?

What kind of paint are they use to paint turbo inside.? Tanks for video

I have a GMC 2005 lly. very interested in stock rebuild price.with brass bearing and custom wheel..any guess on completion time?

Jeez you really tightened that shaft and compressor

I got some questions if u can't answere back I have this exact turbo and I wanted to put it on a 5.3 is there going to be any troubles with this?

Do you have a kit for the Lml GT3788VA.

Like the video but wish it was filmed from beginning to end. Disassembly and reassembly. Start to finish basically.

show us the balancing process

Great video! I hope you’re still answering questions on this video. Is there a tear down video? I can’t seem to separate The bearing housing from the turbine housing. I’m afraid to break something. Also how to you balance shaft. Where I live they just order new turbos no one fixes them. Can you rebuild without balancing or am I asking for trouble?

You need to remove the turbine housing evenly with a big hammer. You don’t have to hit it so hard, you just need the mass from the hammer

You don’t have to rebalance it because the compressor wheel is threaded it will line up the same every time. If the wheels are damaged you may want to sand them down if possible and have it balanced

Turbo Lab America Again very much appreciated!

I installed a he531v into my car as an entertaining project. I was wondering if you could share a video on how the vgt shroud plate can be properly removed from the turbine housing without damage. I see that the are setup to be spun around but have not been able to pull one out and reinstall one safely. I see some kits sell new shroud plates so I assume this is not impossible

Factory seize wheel is 56 x 82 for 2005-2007, 2003-2004 had a 59 x 82, the upgraded wheel we use is 63.5 x88x94. You need the machined housings to match

Quick question. My turbine housing clamp broke. Do you think it’s possible to separate the mating surfaces just enough to slide a new clamp in place without pulling the turbo from the vehicle?

No. Not enough space to do it. It happened to me 2 days ago. Fortunately i have a c5500 kodiak, so i can slide the turbo out from the rear theought the access cover.

+Andrew Crabtree yes. 63.5 X 8& X 94 compressor same as gt4088, 2003 10 blade turbine. I'm working on coming out with upgraded cover and wheels to sell for these but I'm still in the process. I want to make a few more compressor options and some larger turbine options but it's just a process over time.

Used your rebuild kit. On First Test drive after install I developed a howl that wasn't there before. Any answers to that? Also the paper gasket for oil feed failed immedietly, slowly seeping all around it. How should I remedy that?

It’s possible your bearing is stuck or the wheels are damage and out of balance and need to be replaced

Also it can mean the turbo isn’t getting enough oil

what did you use to paint the hot side and where the unison ring goes?

Grill paint. It's made by rustoleuem. It helps prevent rust

Could I use luberplate on the shaft instead of oil?

@turbolabamerica

4 жыл бұрын

I prefer to use oil because it’s easy to check for resistance in the cartridge. If there is resistance In the cartridge a piston ring seal is bent on install Ora case in other models is the oil deflector was not pressed down all the way or the bearing housing wasn’t machined for the larger collar.

Why do you not use a torque wrench when tightening all of these bolts ?

Nice Vid. My Borg Warner turbo had a 82mm compressor wheel. It was machined to an 85mm compressor wheel. Where can I get a 10 blade compressor wheel? Thanks in advance

What if it leaks oil out the exhaust side only when the the vanes are 60%+ closed

No, there are variations, they really just use the same rebuild kit on the lly as the 6.0. The vanes on some were the same, the unison ring is the same but the housings are all different

you overuse the word torque in your video. I didn't see it used once. and don't day you have done so many that you have a calibrated torque elbow. great video

Guys hello. Is your shop still running? We sent you email and come back- no address found!

Like the vidoes but you need some new tools bud.

Oh god, I cringed when you put the it in the turbine housing and you smashed the turbine wheel off the housing..lol

Unison ring is poorly designed. It needs two actuators 180 apart, not just one.
