WHAT TO DO!
 
Well here is the thing... Im running a d16z6 and im having some problems with my 14b and i'm smoking like a b**** so my buddy and I am debating on what to do either cop out and spend some money on a jdm d15b and then boost it, or build my z6 i have now..... im looking to spend around 700 in all any suggestions?

LOL.


Check your first charge pipe and see if it has oil in it.

Just buy some new seals (technicaly called o-rings), a thrust bearing, and a pair of journal bearings and pop them in. Make sure you scribe a line and you should be fine. G-Pop sells MHI rebuild parts individualy so you don't have to buy a whole kit. It's like $60 shipped for new seals and those 3 bearings. Oh yes, get some new piston rings while you're at it too because they're $8 for both. You'll prolly need a new heat sheild that goes between the center section and the exhaust wheel too because on 14b's they're eroded most of the time. I rebuild MHI turbos on a weekly basis and let me tell you, drop those new parts in, clean up all the coking, and your turbo will be as good as new. If there is a bunch of shaft play or the wheels have contacted the housing then I'd reccomend a dynamic balance to save it from ------- up too soon after the freshening up.

ooops. :o
looks like you're making people think that balancing a rotating assembly is required only when the wheels have rubbed?

Not at all. I said if there wasn't a bunch of shaft play or contact wasn't made then you can sometimes get away with the old scribe trick. Here's what I'm basing my info off of.

You have to keep in mind you have a full service turbo shop and can balance anything at will. Some of us don't want to spend $65+shipping for a balance if we can get away with out it. Especially on a ------- 14b rofl.

sorry about not replying sooner, ive been swamped with all kinds of stuff.... i've pretty much just started over i have a jdm d15b on its way and im gonna run it with no boost then rebuild my z6 with a rebuilt bottum end and the rebuilt 14b. sound good....oh and no there isnt an oil restricter on them, i heard its not a great idea with single journals like the 14b. i'm in the process of about a 100 things on my car right now so i'm trying to fit it all in at one time and its a pain.....next time i better go step by step haha
