Rebuild Turbo. DIY ?
I need to rebuild the t3 I just recently put on the d15.
Its blowing plenty of oil out into my charge pipes.
I dont want to spend a couple hundred to pay someone to do itif I can do it myself.
Any special tools required ?
Easy as cake ?
What should I look for in a rebuild kit ?
How much should I spend ?
How long will it take ?
And are all rebuild kits identical for different size t3's ?
I searched here under, turbo rebuild, rebuild kit, rebuild.
Didnt get anything that would help me.
Thanks for the help.

Re:Rebuild Turbo. DIY ?
i just did my rebuild last week.
here's my breakdown:
86 dollars (CDN) for the parts
-bearings (2)
-snap rings (4)
-staggered gap piston ring (1)
-O-ring (1)
-various gaskets (rubber and metal)
then your gonna need to get it balanced. and if your shaft is run out, then you will need a new shaft, roughly 220 (CDN)
balancing is around 85 dollars
getting those snap rings in/out are a pain in the ***. so either buy a snap ring tool. or try and use another method.

Re:Rebuild Turbo. DIY ?
What kind of oil lines are you running? Is your drain big enough? No kinks? Is this that Nissan T3?
I got a new center section off Egay for $84 shipped.
