Interchangeable compressor wheels
 
I have a .42 .48 volvo turbo with minor shaft play and no oil leaks, and have a nissan a/r .60 with reasonable shaft play.

My question are if i can just put the compressor wheel and backplate from the nissan into the volvo to have a a/r .60 with no leaks.

  • Depending on the year of manufacture, both of these turbos can be either static or dynamic seal, which backplates are not interchangeable.
  • You can't swap just backplate &wheel from the nissan because the 50trim volvo cover is bored 1.8 mm too small fo the 60 trim wheel.
  • if you keep the volvo cover, you will remain 0.42 a/r. even if you fit a larger wheel in it
  • What kind of leak are you talking about?

1) I was thinking in buy an ebay rebuild kit, and rebuild the $10 dollar a/r .60 nissan turbo.

2) But chinese t3/t4 turbos are around 130-150 new.

What option are the best for reliability?

Yesterday i practice the rebuild job removing all parts (bearings, compressor, etc) and reinstall it again, just to see how to do the job when buy the rebuild kit, but now the wheels didnt spins when i torque the compressor wheel nut.

What i am doing wrong??? >:(

make sure your bearings are seated into the chra all the way.
