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.

Right? I bought NB for $3k and was looking at flying miata kits for $3.4k or ebay kits as low as $1.6k and well shit! That is about how much I paid for my car. I like the whole cheap out where you can, buy GOOD 2nd hand quality parts aspect, and when you can afford it you can easily replace.

I also agree, BUT don't make the mistake of lowering the importance of know-how and very good quality parts. I got an FM kit about 7 years ago, with a GT2554R. Nothing is broken...that turbo now has around 60 THOUSAND miles at 250 hp crank...the reliability is insane...no way you can get that with discount parts.

Same here. Over the past couple of years I've learnt how to rebuilt a turbo once removed and diagnosed thanks to videos like this. 👍Before there was no way I was doing a job as scary as this but would do it without a second thought now.
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.

Recently I've been watching your videos religiously in preparation for my own turbo Miata. Hahaha, thanks for the informative videos!
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
Miata wars. Episode 5 the Miata strikes back Awesome video man thank you! Can't wait to do the same
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!!
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?
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
Thanks for the video! I’ve always wanted to rebuild an old turbo I have and now I know how to do it 👍
Bro I have watched a lot of your videos and they are so helpful, thank you!!
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
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
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)

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!
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
Dude why don't you have more subs? Your videos are fantastic!
You, Sir, are a real hero!
congratulations on another great video. keep up the good work!☺
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
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.

Right
is it ok to have a little play of compressor wheel inside the housing ? or it shouldn’t move at all?
hey your oil restrictor is too smal for journal unless this is stock
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.
lol u oiled that shaft like a pro.. ahahahah jk jk

+FukYoCauch The exact turbo for Broke & Boosted is a Chinese "T25/T28 Hybrid" also known as a "T2854" In my opinion it's not the most ideal T25 sizing for the Miata, but it still works pretty well. The one I have on my other car is a Garrett GT2554R, which is the smallest ball bearing turbo Garrett makes. That, is an amazing turbo, and arguably the BEST version of the T25 for a 1.6L Miata. 1.8L's would be a little better suited with a GT2560R. Being the highest performing T25's you can get, they are also the most expensive at around $1000 new.
Would you recommend using a torque wrench or it's not really necessary?
What do you think about the roller bearing upgrades they offer?
quick question : is the disassembling process the same (or similar) for all turbos ?
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?

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?
@TheCarPassionChannel
8 жыл бұрын
The best way is to decide what your main use of the car is going to be. For most builds, a high quality cast manifold is the best option. They're usually around $400, they perform well, and they are BULLETproof. You can go with a tubular manifold for higher performance but they take up more space, are more expensive, and less durable.
What was wrong with the turbo as everything looked fine on dismantle?

+Capt Fuzzy Plays If you're planning on daily driving and having it as your only car, I always recommend starting with Megasquirt. That's the major difference between this build, and the more "proper" way to do it. You'd have a faster, more reliable car if you have the right management.

Capt Fuzzy Plays Engine management is the heart of a reliable build really, make sure you have someone setup the safeguards in your ECU if you don't know how to do it, they can save your engine. I bought nearly everything for may car twice because I realized I needed better parts, etc. Go with 750cc injectors, they'll handle anything a stock engine can including E85. I bought 420cc, then realized I wanted more power so I had to upgrade. Bought a clutch that could hold 185wtq, started slipping so I had to upgrade. Bought a $350 china turbo, upgraded to a Garrett because again, I wanted more power. Always go for the better parts, it's worth it in the end!
