You can get rebuild kits from ebay for $60 and do it yourself pretty easily.

i wouldnt trust myself to rebuilding a turbo

LightningTeg

Then think anywhere between 100-200 for a standard bearing/seal replacement. If the housings or CHRA are damaged in another way obviously its gonna be more for the machine work.

Well the turbo is still on a car. They said that it smokes sometimes. What could that be? It still boosts fine tho. I

And another thing, if I was to rebuild it, should get the $134 kit from gpopshop or is the $60 kit from eBay good enough?

LightningTeg

The $60 kits on ebay are all the same, good quality manufacturer.

My 18g just started smoking and it turns out the vband collar the exhaust side was loose so you should check that.

what other turbos will fit on the greddy manifold?

Any t25 flanged turbo should bolt up to the greddy manifold. I'm pretty much in the same ship as you, wanting to upgrade my 18g and have been looking at atp's site to decide which turbo I wanna get. Really leaning torwards the gt30r, but with the special housing which has a 44mm v-band external wastegate on it and eliminate the iwg totally. Only thing keeping me from ordering the turbo right now is whether or not I should build on the greddy manifold. For the total price on purchasing the turbo and all the components to make it run, I might be spending close to 2g's. For a little more, I can get a ramhorn setup from AFI so I'm debating really hard to see what I wanna do. Good luck bro!

LightningTeg

Depends on your goal. I just slapped a GT28r onto my greddy manifold and everything was a direct bolt up other then the oil lines and having to run water lines.

So any T25 Turbine inlet turbo will bolt up. AKA GT28r, GT2860rs, GT2871 yadayada

Thanks for all the info. If I have anything else I'll ask ya again

My return line keeps leaking oil. It's made outta rubber. Any suggestions on what to do. I even tried using to clamps in the bottom. I believe it's leaking from the bottom of the line

LightningTeg

How badly? Probably not the line but the nipple

92redsihatch

It drips only but I don't wanna keep buying mobil 1 oil. What can I do about it

Ramma

The rebuild price is different from many different places. I had mine rebuilt, with a bigger compressor and turbine wheel and had the housings bored out. It felt like it gave the turbo a shot of steroids. Turbochargers.com did if for me, it was slightly expensive, but I've had no problems with it.

do all b series oil pans fit each other?

slow96lude

no. i belive the vtec pans fit the vtecs and so forth. someone else chime in on this.

CleanLikeJdm

The block girdle is what makes the difference.

The pans are the same bolt wise, just ones like the GSR are deeper and have a longer pickup.

not to do with the manifold but does anyone know where to get a tdo4 o2 housing or flange to make a custome downpipe?

slow96lude

ssautochrome will have one cheap/ and as far as the oil pans go. I just seen a p72 (GSR) pan on a B20z. Just had to use the gsr oil pickup
