Check out my turbo yo! Rebuild questions.

[ZenkaiRacerDsM]

Sup guys, here are some pics of my HX40 after last nights dyno session.

I'm questioning whether or not I want to spend the money to get it rebuilt, if it in fact can be.

But if I do, how will I know that the center cartridge is still good? Do I just want to make sure that none of the pieces scored it up?

I figure if the center section is good, I'll need these things:

Turbine wheel and shaft (is this one legit?)

Rebuild kit

And of course some sort of compressor wheel. Batmowheel? BAE 62mm with their cover? Re-use mine? I haven't taken the compressor wheel out yet, but from what I can see by looking into it, it looks surprisingly unscathed.

Thammmm., That's nasty.

I would take the turbo apart and check all inside, that's the only way for you to find out if it will work or keep as recycle.

Hopefully Justin jump in here and tell you something..

Oh I know I have to tear it all down, I just got it off the car when I snapped these pics.

Forgot to mention, that turbine wheel on the link doesn't look legit to me.

If you snapped the turbine, the entire CHRA is junk.

Predicting what happened is like guessing what caused an engine to blow. Either oiling wasn't correct or EGT's were too high and the turbo didn't like it.

Holy sheep shit bro.... Hope it was just your turbo that went boom and all else is ok

Looks like mine does.

Oddly enough, of all the broken HX40 turbines I've ever seen among DSM users- every single one was inside the .55 bolt-on housing.

That's kinda scary.

Smaller housing, larger turbine wheel, excessive heat, sounds like a bad recipe

The smaller turbine housing is prone to higher temps, that's my train of thought.

That is a releif to hear!! Just got my new hx40 in the t3 housing!
