Turbo rebuild kits for our TD03

[Davezj]

Sorry this is only a thread to if anyone knows if they are available.

There seems to be some eBay turbo rebuild kits out there but I have not found one that says it is for a TD03.

There are some kits on this search from eBay, but are what you really need for a complete rebuild.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_tr...6.c0.m14.l1514

If you could get a rebuild kit for £40 would it be worth it.

I will probably be needing some replacement turbo's soon, so it is covenant that I have a couple of replacement pairs in the shed. But I don't know the quality of them.

There is a small amount of play in the shaft (across the shaft) but not much.
I am wondering if a rebuild kit would fix this movement, as some of the kit have some what look like brass bush ins along with all the seals and clips, etc.
Or is it a case of needing a new cartridge to fix any issues like this.

If you know of any rebuild kits for our TD03 I would like any info you have.

I spoke to a company at autosport last year and they are working on one, it comes as a complete cassette to drop into our housings. I just can't remember their name.

[Davezj]

So it would be the cassette plus a couple of seals.

Which would mean it would come pre balanced I presume.

When I strip mine down I was going to put a little scribe line on the shaft, nut, compressor wheel. So when it goes back together you can line up the wheel and shaft and try to line up the nut as well.
As I think it is the nut that generally get trimmed to make the overall turbo balance. Well that is what I have alway presumed as they all seem to have varying degrees of a slice of nut cut off the side of them.

Do you mean complete CHRA kits, Paul?

[Davezj]

Chra?

Here is picture of what I mean:

[Davezj]

That is what I meant by
cartridge

And what Paul meant (i think) by
Cassette

[Davezj]

But changing the whole cassette/cartridge/chra is the expensive way of doing a rebuild.

Are there any rebuild kits that cost about £40 like other turbo have available.
If not then I was going to contact some of these eBay sellers to see if they can put one together for the TD03.

Buy the way what is the suffix for our turbo, is it TD03-7g I am not sure.

[scott.mohekey]

I looked into getting a rebuilt kit through a local turbo guru, and he recommended against DIY as it's impossible to get it balanced well. A replacement CHRA however would be ok.

[Davezj]

But the chra is only slightly less money than a new turbo and much more than a second hand replacement.
I know you do not necessarily know what you are buy quality wise when you buy second hand but if you can get a pair from a mates breaker car then you have a good idea of the quality.

Thanks for the info anyway even if it was not what I wanted to here, from a confidence point of view.but you have to respect the views of a pro with regards to the balancing issues.

[scott.mohekey]

That's why I went with a second hand set of turbos. I did however take them to the pro to get them checked out first.

I have 2 x repair kits for TD03's. I've had them for couple of years now, and been meaning to get a spare pair to refurb. Nutter John actually has a pair of tubbys waiting for collection as I type. So hopefully I will get them sorted soon.
As to the question, how much and where from ! I honestly can't remember ill have to dih them out and are if they give me any clues

Yes that is the sort of thing I am after.
But it looks like it is a few seal short of a full kit.
That looks like it will rebuke the "CHRA" but not put the housings back together.
I will contact them and see what what with the kit.

Thank for the link, that is a great help.
