Default 300zx t-3 turbo rebuild?

Ive a always seen this web site but never joined cuz i never had turbos to work with but now i do!

The turbo's dont wiggle but its hard for them to spin. Both intake and exhaust.

My bro bought the 300zx engine... but he dosnt own a fair lady.. WTF? (but its his dream car too.)
The turbos are severly coked so he decided to give me the turbos... I want to turbo a gs300 but i need to know if those turbo's are in good shape... or how to recondition them.
I've seen how clean they look in the pics on HMT and thats what i want under the hood. A CLEAN SNAIL.

Any way i can get OEM B.O.V. to open @ 5-6 psi ?

the engine,trans,ecu,acces. came off of a 1990 zx.

squirt some oil into the turbo (small threaded hole on the center section)...see if it spins more freely

they are too small for a gs. you were gonna use them both right? Your getting yourself into a hassle... as everyone else says, its totally not worth it. buy a big single turbo and be done with it, and sell the t28's (thats what they are right?)

i agree unless your car came with sync turbs then i wouldn't go through the hassel of routing two of them. go out sell your 2 T28 and buy yourself one big *** turbo and do it right.
