Kamak seems to sell good products. I've used their parts to repair turbochargers in the past and they've worked absolutely perfect. The kit in your link actually has the larger thrust collar and compressor collar, offering more surface for support to be given from the thrust plate. The thrust plate also has two oiling holes instead of standard MHI thrust plate's one.
Ummm.....the Small 16G has a super-back wheel. Only the 14B compressor is flat-backed.
A FP Red isn't mated to a TD05H turbine, for one. You could clip a TD05H until there was nothing left and it still wouldn't match the flow of the 15*-clipped TD06H turbine used on the Red. Once you run enough boost to make the 60-1 compressor worthwhile, the TD05H would be out of flow. Building an efficient turbo isn't as easy as slapping huge compressors on small turbines.
My mistake, I was looking at rebuild kits once before and thought it said the 14b and S16g had flat backs, must have read or remembered wrong. Again, remembered wrong about the td05/tdo6 on the FP red, my mistake. What's wrong with upgrading? Gotta do it some time, I was just giving him another option he might want to consider in the future at what I thought would be a really decent price. Since I obviously didn't know it took that much work to build a Frank/Red turbo, what about putting on a 20g compressor wheel and cover on his s16g which he says in his public profile has a 'larger turbine compressor wheel'? I read a thread you posted in about a clipped td05h turbine wheel vs. a td06/td06hThe part in bold has me confused a bit, did you mean the MHI turbine shaft is larger than the hole on the garrett comp. wheel? Another quick question while I have you here haha, what are the differences in the turbine wheels on the 14b, s16, and b16g? ##
I would say negative for two reasons. You dont have a way to rebalance the shafts once you reinstall the new seals etc. and the kit runs $66.50 Ive found several places here in Oklahoma that rebuild smaller turbos for around 150 and have the ability to balance when done. I would strongly recommend saving your money before you do this. Im sure others would agree.
I've bought kits in the past from Greg as well. Great products for the money....excellent for low-budget builds like 14B's and other turbos that aren't worth putting a $150 parts kit into. You can email Greg direct at [email protected] anytime you need additonal parts....he's quick to respond and you won't find a more complete kit for the money.
. Over all with just the tear down, I was suprised at how simple it was. Took me maybe 10 min if that to dissasemble the turbo and take pictures. The only snag was the damned compressor wheel nut. Once it broke free I just about lost my my knuckles on the wheel. I'll go hunt down some lube.If it's all just about waiting for engine oil to reach it, couldn't you just use regular oil then? When you remove the turbo and put it back on, you are supposed to prime it which runs oil through out the system. Wouldn't that be sufficient then since you only turning the motor over and not running it?
If regular oil was enough, there wouldn't be the need for engine assembly lubes in the first place. Even freshly-assembled engines are normally primed prior to startup, but the assembly lube is that extra little bit of insurance that the bearings will have protection at initial startup.
None on stock. Any turbo parts supplier should be able to help you out- Turbochargers.com has a great online catalog of turbo parts.
