Rebuilt turbo has up and down play
 

I rebuilt my turbo, new bearings ect.

The turbo still has up and down play.

Whats up?
What is the cause and what do i check

Re: Rebuilt turbo has up and down play
 

up and down play? wtf is your turbo an enlobal bearing?

Re: Rebuilt turbo has up and down play
 

Was it a rebuild kit off ebay? BTW a old turbo is like a old motor you must check to see if you are going to need bigger bearings.

Re: Rebuilt turbo has up and down play
 

got it from gpopshop

how do i tell if i need oversized bearings

up and down play - thrust play

Re: Rebuilt turbo has up and down play
 

the same way you tell if old tractors/ford TTB axles need new bushings

Re: Rebuilt turbo has up and down play
 

i dont know?

Re: Rebuilt turbo has up and down play
 

it will be fine after oil gets to it

Re: Rebuilt turbo has up and down play
 

i tried to put oil... same thing
:(

Re: Rebuilt turbo has up and down play
 

Pressurized oil.

And like they were saying parts wear down a bit over time and you may need oversized bearings to make up for the loss. You can put factory seals and bearings in and still have play.

thanks everyone

i wondering if i should balance the turbo

Re: Rebuilt turbo has up and down play
 

Ahh did you even mark to kinda put it back in balance? Do you happend to know how fast a turbo spins?

Re: Rebuilt turbo has up and down play
 

yes i marked
but i dropped the compressor wheel and it has a small nick

turbos spin like 200 000rpms right?

Re: Rebuilt turbo has up and down play
 

fail

Re: Rebuilt turbo has up and down play
 

Up and down is fine as there is play until the turbo has oil and is spinning.As long as there is no in and out your good.

Re: Rebuilt turbo has up and down play
 

i am confused
i thought in and out was thrust / up and down

Re: Rebuilt turbo has up and down play
 

in/out is thrist, side to side is bearings, generally.

Re: Rebuilt turbo has up and down play
 

let me see if i got this right
in and out is shaft play right
and up and down is thrust play?

Re: Rebuilt turbo has up and down play
 

ITS ALL SHAFT PLAY for fucks sake.

and its all bad

Cause im not going to read this thread anymore...

Rebuilt turbos, even NIB turbos can have shaft play. It is more normal then most think(this thread proves it). Put it on the car, let it cycle some oil in there and the play should be less noticed if not gone. The shaft and the bearings can not be so tight as to where there is no movement, if that was the case youd just feed shavings from your turbo to the engine.

Incorrect. Now go flush your engine with water;D
