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?

Re: WHAT TO DO!
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? |

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. |

Re: WHAT TO DO!
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
