dover Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Have a couple questions? Can you have a turbo rebuilt and have a different wheel added? I ask because I currently have a BB T76 and want to get it ported and add a Billet Wheel to it. I already researched selling mine and purchasing a new one and that options appears expensive. So if I can have it rebuilt with the new internals is there a place that does it locally that people have personally dealt with? How much does it generally run to have this done? Anyone do jet hot coating around here? I need to have the hot side done. Thanks for the help playerz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigZach Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 pm matt with the turbo s10 he seems to know alot about turbo's ... either that or just give IPS a call Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDHG940 Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 I dont know what turbo you have but I know Precision can do billet wheel upgrades. Call and talk to Justin down there, he's a cool guy and always helpful. If you need something done, let me know because I have been wanting to buy in with them and just waiting for an order before I do so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neonkiller Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Majestic turbo out of texas, do it right once. They did an overhaul on mine about 20k miles ago...... rebalanced and everything. Talk to them get a quote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boosted98gst Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 IF you want to swap a CHRA out just have someone local put it in and balance everything it does not take a genius. Depending on what wheel order from the company and have someone local like ips or a truck shop do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dover Posted December 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 it's a Turbonetics turbo, so basically a fancy Garett based 4 bolt, with a V Band hotside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattsv8 Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 your cheaper place would be turbonetics because its there turbo. usually they just charge a rebuild fee. and you pay for the billett wheel. id say if your not changing housing size or wheel size. you would just endup with a nice new turbo. the wheel will make little diff as it dosent move the compressor map all that much. if you were going to do it and upgrade to say a 78mm then i would suggest it.

dover Posted December 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Well damn it only has maybe 1k miles on it. I just have been reading that billet wheel is the way to go (increase spool time, longetivity of turbo).. I want to do a 78 or 80 with a BW but don't want to spend a 2K trying that route.

boosted98gst Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 I don't believe BB turbos can be rebuilt. That is correct, the cheapest way is buying teh CHRA and replacing it with what he wants to upgrade. If you want bigger wheel places can machine sizes ect.

Could always just stick the the same size A/R on the exhaust housing and spool should similar. Only reason it would take longer to spool would be if you went with a bigger exhaust housing. Although, if you get to small of a one youll outflow it causing surging problems. True Compressor Surge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dover Posted December 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 I have a BBT76 with .96 A/R, my ideal turbo would be a billet wheel bbT78 or 80 with a .96A/R hot side. I'd roughly make 50-60rwhp at the same psi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rl Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Call Jose at http://www.forcedinductions.com, you can replace compressor wheels on some BB turbos, just not bearings.

2highpsi Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Don't get hung up on a billet wheel. They offer no increase in efficiency nor increase in spool up. They can just get them made faster since the casting process is longer, hence why new wheel designs are typically billet. Edit: I better find the article, as I'm sure someone will call BS on my post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2highpsi Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Page: http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarrett/news/race_updates/Garrett_Fully_Machined.html cliffs: No noticeable gains in performance can be seen when testing a machined(billet) wheel vs. a cast wheel of the same design Well damn it only has maybe 1k miles on it. I just have been reading that billet wheel is the way to go (increase spool time, longetivity of turbo).. I want to do a 78 or 80 with a BW but don't want to spend a 2K trying that route. Any faster spool can be attributed to the design of the wheel. Not the fact that it is billet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
