damaged turbine
 
I've got a t28 (ballbearing) off a S14 Silvia I think ,with a damaged exh turbine. the compressor side is mint and there is no noticeable play (center section seems mint) can I swap the exh turbine out with one from a different turbo? I don't wanna junk it, I was planning on using it on my d series. any way to save it?

I'm sure that you could put a new wheel on the turbine side but if you do, you HAVE to rebalance it or woun't last long at all...could be 2 weeks, could be 2 minutes!

can this be done at a machine shop or does it actually have to specifically be a turbo repair shop? I'm guessing I should find a wheel as close to the one that came on the turbo as I can or would there be a better one for my application?
specs are Turbine - 1.85" wheel (76 trim), 0.64 A/R T25 housing

thanks for your help,
B

The only place I know of that can do turbo balancing is a turbo shop...from what I saw where I had my turbo built, it takes some pretty specific equipment (expensive too)

crap! well thanks for the info, I guess I should start getting some prices from local shops :-\ it sounds like it may just be cheaper to buy a 48 60 off an old tbird. we'll see what the shops quote me :'(
