- How to rebuild a used turbo (turbocharger) easily and cheaply. Teardown your journal bearing turbo and rebuild it. This isn't a difficult DIY, but it can drastically improve the life of your turbo and can help repair oil leaks.
Note: Do this at your own risk! I assume no responsibility for damage to your property or yourself. I do recommend that you have your turbocharger re-balanced after doing this; even if you mark the wheel/shaft location.
Happy modding!

You forgot the most important step. You must make marks so the wheel is on the same exact spot or it will be out of balance and take out the bearings right away. Now you have to send it in for balancing.
Wow, a lot of haters. I think that was super useful as someone who hasn't rebuilt a turbo before. Despite the reverse thread explanation hate, I seemed to have understood exactly what he was trying to say. Yes, he used a metal hammer, barely tapped anything, and the world didn't end. Use a rubber mallet if you're worried about it.
Not hate, this is a video on how to rebuild a turbo using the incorrect tools
@@Vacublaster1 Every mechanic who’s ever worked on any car, has a hammer, get over yourself.
"Instead of righty tighty, lefty loosey, it's lefty loosey, righty tighty."
So. No change there then.
Oh, give him a break. I would refer you to the CZcams video: "How to stop being anal". Thanks to the fellow who produced this.
Lol in comment just to see if anyone noticed he said that... but that a mistake lol...
@@ticohunte8307 there to many mistakes in this video wouldnt recommend since the shaft isnt balanced. another human seeking attention instead of given proper guides.
Thank for the great video, Every other video I watched they didn't show such an in depth view as yours.
Used your vid to help me take apart my first turbo, watched lots of vids but this was the most encouraging. Just go for it! And yes I used a hammer and it's all fine! Cheers very much great stuff
Your vid is a success bro.. I have followed it and it was hassle free.
Noticed the DP logo that caught my interest while watching your Old video on how to roll fenders about 5 minutes ago. New subscriber from Billings ^^
Awesome, just what i needed. thanks
thanks, its a very good movie for rebuilding the turbocharger
you'd think to use a rubber mallet, fuck it I guess
Bloody scared me. Metal on metal. That’s worst than taking the mother in law and mother and wife all out to dinner
@@bendoherty7721 what a comparison 😂
Great job. Thanks a lot.
Great vid!👍
Entire video.. . .A+
Clear and fully understandable.
righty loosey lefty tighty
so wrong, just so wrong
j gold ak is right since it's reversed thread
Para Jay i
Nice video good information 👍
excellent vid thank-you
good video and information. But no lubrication on the o rings?
Neat and tidy, the way to do it!!.
Nice one, thank you very much
Nice job.
What made you suspect that you needed a rebuild?Symptoms?
I have a Evo X td05 and the main circlip keeps popping off did I install something wrong or do I need a new one the kit that I bought didn’t come with a new circlip so I’m using the stock one. Thanks your video was helpful
Nice vid! How often should you do this? I bought my V50 2.0d at 83K. When it was 63K it had to replace the turbo due to sloppy oil changes. It has now runned 107K (all in KM not miles). So I am thinking about doing this myself.
did you already loosen up the bolts, or do they just have a low torque setting?
Thx for sharing
Will the ball bearings turbo rebuilt process going to be same as this video??
Does the rebuild help with shaft play? What about cleaning carbon build up?
Yoyo Quick turbo question. What do u think would flow better a T4 .63 or a T3 .82 thanks!!!
Good vid
Hmm and they change the whole turbine when its damaged...these things are fixable! Thanks man
How did you aligned cold and hot wheels?
didnt see marking alighment for housings or fan to exh side for balance .. did say hed tighten later to see if fits
This is the first time I see this machine, can you tell me what it does
Do you know what’s the kit for a 2005 Dodge Ram 3500 diesel 5.9 turbo kit is and were to buy it.
thank you
just a question bro,.. dont you need to balance the shaft or the billets before reassembling? i understand that turbochargers spims up to 240k rpms. doesnt it require balncing so that the billets wont wobble and cause the journal bearing to premature wear? im asking because im also interested to rebuild my turbo and doing a hybrid billet swap. watchung you doing this made it look easy.
anyway, thanks for yhe video. just a simple question thats all.
you should mark the turbine and compressor where they were on the shaft. or need to do the balancing again
Good video where can i buy the turbo repair kit
Very informative video. However; there was no mention of the torque or replacement pattern? As a high-speed high-temperature mechanism torque break would become imminent. It would be interesting to see a video of what one looked like after it blew up.
shouldn't the core get balanced again?
I've heard the turbo would need to be sent out to have the compressor wheel rebalanced, etc. Is this true? If not I'll tackle the rebuild this coming weekend lol
where did you go?
What about balancing?
I have a turbo that I need to rebuild I don’t know how to get the kit it’s a gsp tt2turbo t3 trim 00094
Great video. How do you find the right rebuild kit for a certain turbo?
Know what turbo you have and match it with a parts kit for that particular turbo
WOWOWO!!! Where is the torque wrench? Guys better use the right torque on the bolts and the nut!!! And if you don't want it to break again soon and complain about a bad rebuild kit just get that thing balanced before installing it. You balance you tires or not? This thing can easy spin 150.000-180.000rpm and if it is not in balance it will break fast! And please check all oil and cooling lines if they are clean! There is always an reason why they break! Like an closed return hose that fails to return the oil and the pressure blows your seal. This is only a half done Turbo repair and will not last long because important things are missing to do it right! And be aware of parts from the compressor wheel that can break and get into the combustion chamber and cause major damage to the engine!!! Please don't do it just like that!!!
wish you would have shown you putting the rings in and attaching the parts
What about the important part of rebalancing the turbo, as it is out of balance after using it for years.
Factory balanced parts
How do you balance a turbo ?
@@johnnygonzalez7874 You how a fucking gymnast that's how 🤣🤣
If you replace the whole core, it's factory balanced, right?
But if you dissasembly the core and repair / replace inner parts, how can you manage balancing then? Isn't necessary?
@@maurizioalfieri602 It's Mandatory . THE Trick is to carefully Scribe the Compressor wheel... Shaft... And Nut .. so they can be replaced on the EXACT position they were at from the factory assembly/balancing
how did you clean?
"these are reverse threads, so instead of righty tighty- lefty
loosey; its lefty loosey-righty tighty".... umm... and those 'C' clip removers are called SNAP RING pliers. LOL
Who gives a fuck
@@alexmoreno4114Um, some watching this video, who therefore might not have the tool, and who therefore has to go out to buy one, and therefore NEEDS TO KNOW THE FUCKING CORRECT NAME.
That's who.
Go fuck your hat. Everyones a fucking perfectionist
Circlip
@@alexmoreno4114 people trying to buy the tools. Duhh
yes the manufacture use metric and standard size bolts on this turbo......you all should listen to this person... hes smarter than the engineers who desiged the turbo in the first place by using metric ans standard bolts/ threads
Static and dynamic balancing?
best have long socket bar extension and other side socket in vice .. so no side load to risk bending
shaft
We know them as "Circlip pliers"
Hi,please tell me how the turbine should spin , should it be running freely or a bit on the stuff side, thanks
free, not stiff
Any update on the turbo? How has it fared? Is this worth doing?
Probably died after a few months.
What kind of solvent did you used to clean the whole turbo?
Probably brake cleaner.
It lefty tightly rightly loosy when backwards threaded
Greetings, Stephan
I'm trying to find a proper direct contact for you? It's in regards to promo opportunities of sorts?
any torke in bolts ?
Torque
Did you really do that without balancing the shaft and blades? Also my condolences to the aluminum family, ouch.
Right!? I've thought the same.
Can you rebuild any turbo?
Remember it's not righty tighty lefty loosey it's lefty loosey righty tighty. Don't forget.
👍👍👍
My comment is great BUT! You should mark the alignment of the two turbines, they are balanced so need to go back in the same relationship, if you don’t you will effect the balance and at the RPM these spin at balance is critical to life.
such a shame you didnt have better lighting
Brake cleaner would've been handy to use in that carbon build up and you didn't mark the bolt and shaft for balancing. Tsk, tsk that's a major important factor in taking apart any Turbo for a rebuild.
No need to balance
@@dillonmeier9783 Yes you need to Balance... since Balance procedure is for compressor and turbine axial weight differences, so they have to be marked before disambly, so when put together back again, they are in the exact same position they are balanced from factory.
@@Surfo1980 i was wondering about that myself. i had buddy do his own rebuild and turbo would start making bad noises as soon as he made any boost.
so much for the balance of the turbo.. when you didnt mark the shaft against the compressor wheel for its clocking/position you just threw out any of the previous balancing done. That is the comp wheel should been set back in the same rotational position before you undid it.
so that turbo has no wastegate actuator..
It's not always reverse thread. That's a per-turbocharger thing. My TB03 was normal thread.
same with my T04
It would have been nice to see the play, if any ?, prior to strip down and the use of the hammer scared me, 😂
What about wheel balancing? Since you removed them they are now out of balance and will cause vibrations
The amount of people that have watched this video and have now gone and tried to rebuild their own turbo.
Ticking time bombs lol
Pretty sure there 4 c clips 2 for each bearing. You only should 2. Just wondering.
Instead of righty tighty & lefty loosey its gunna be lefty loosey & righty tighty😂😂😂😂
All "O" rings should be lubricated upon assembly.
" instead of it being Lefty Loosey righty tighty it's going to be writing tighty lefty Loosey" same thing
Those are not c clips those are internal and external snap rings!
What is that sound in the background?
i know right? lol. i thought my house alarm was going off.
eimantas28 turbo whistle 😂
The fan he rebuilt last week
Fluorescent lighting I would think.
lol, how heavy is that thing? You look a bit stressed there holding it.
They aren't exactly light, which is why people stress the importance of the manifold you use. If you buy a non cast iron manifold you're putting the weight of the turbo completely on the welds in the steel. You also don't want the manifold to hold the turbo very far away because of the leverage you create. Stress on expensive parts = bad. Blown turbo/manifold = bad.
Strange to lie about as vital part as mark the wheel pos to shaft. It was quite obvious you didn't as you took it apart and assembled..
Surely it's better to replace the core only...
sea clips?
I think you meant Righty loosy and lefty tighty being reversed! ;-)
What happened to him
Its not righty tighty lefty loosy. Its lefty loosy righty tighty.. Ahhh ha ha lmao
mfw seel hammer on cast iron ಠ_ಠ
It's righty loosey lefty tighty facepalm
You used an 11/16", a 1/2" plus a 13mm wrench and a joiner's hammer with nail remover to hit a cast turbo casing, you're not an engineer are you?
You should get a microphone so it doesn’t sound so echoee
you mean righty loosey and lefty tighty !! I don't even think you realized that you said it wrong yo
Is this the verge video about building a pc...
Forgot to balance the shaft lol
You mean righty Loosey Lefty Thai tea
#rubbermallet
Can the experts in the comments make a how to vid since they know fu#king everything.
Not balanced
oh gosh i want to be a mod guy but im so lost i DO have a hammer tho! I just get yall some cold soda when you need it 😢
is it normal for your compressor wheel to be a bitch to take off i was i got the nut off just fine but the wheel is its self is kickig my ass ! you took yours off like it was nothing
I didn't hear any torque values given for nuts or bolts.
Man there are some nitpicky ass mofos on YT what a bunch of haters theTokenSteve you do you, dude.
