Pte 5862

[KFred 513]

I have the bb 5857 on a stock housing right now. I'm planning to swap it to a t3 hotside, but I just found a 62mm t3 hotside and may buy it to make a 5862. If I do this ill need to get a 62mm turbine separately.

I'm wondering If ill need to get the assembly balanced if I put that 62mm turbine on (pretty sure i will). Also who can balance it for me? If I stick with the 57mm and go t3 I won't need to balance the assembly since I won't touch the rotating assembly right?

Negative. It will already be balanced.

PTE doesn't VSR-balance to my knowledge....I've never seen balance grinds on any of their compressor locknuts. If you swap turbines it should be balanced every bit as good as it was when it left PTE.

Awesome, thanks for the good news guys...If I do this ill let you know how it turns out.

Well just an update for those PTE fans wanting to change components. They no longer make the "old" style turbine/compressor wheels. So, if you don't have a CEA style turbo, and wish to switch to a bigger turbine, you'll need to find used parts.

I didn't bother asking about the rotating assembly being balanced since the new CEA turbines aren't compatable with my 5857. Ill just be getting a 57mm T3 hotside...or maybe going with a holset

Put an HE351 in it's place.....

Considering the turbo size you have and what you're trying to do I would a 7 blade HX35 with stock divided T3 12cm housing should do the justice for you. You can run that housing on a non-divided manifold and it work almost no different, I've ran several divided housings on a non-divided manifold with good results. You can probably buy a good used HX35 for less then what you would pay for the new wheel and housing.

Check out this thread, it will give you a good idea of what this turbo can do.

I've been reading through the holset sticky to see my options. I'd probably go with an hx40 so I have room to grow into it. I've got a lot more reading to do. All depends on how much I can sell this 5857 for. It's only got like 2k miles on it.

Hey boost, ill be down in Pasco sometime in the next few weeks on a Saturday. I know you and a buddy both have 600hp 2gs right?
