What actual turbo do they use on most sport bike applications? Would those not work also on a dirt bike or not because they dont move as much air? :1

A rebuild is going to cost you more than you can get a good used one for. They use a very specific type of bearing and it looks like the compressor wheel is owned. Rebuild kit is over $100 and comp wheel is at least $150. Not to mention the turbine wheel is probably toast. At best you'll have to get it straightened and polished which is another $50 at least. So get ready to spend $300 if you want it to be runnable.

The GT12 is common for smaller bikes, but it has a water cooled center and my bike is air cooled and I don't have room to add intercoolers and a radiator. My other options are an aerodyne (way too expensive) and an IHI RHB52 VL8 (from a Lancia Dedra) which I can order from Europe for a little over $800. So a $300 rebuild would not bug me too much as long as I know I am ordering the right parts.

So is a rebuild kit going to be the same for all GT15's?

Re: Help me identify this turbo
 

couldn't you buy a decent used one for less then $300?

Re: Help me identify this turbo
 

You show me a decent used turbo for a 70hp application with an oil-only cooled center section for less than $300 and I'll buy it. And by "decent" I don't mean Preusse. I don't want a crap-ass turbo.

Re: Help me identify this turbo
 

doesnt ------- matter what the center section is. all turbos are oil lubricated, that happens to slightly cool. water cooled is for small turbos on high heat stock turbo cars

Re: Help me identify this turbo
 

you know you can get one that is watercooled and not hook up the water lines :1
