B20C5 Turbo

Suppose I have 2 turbochargers.. Both of them are Turbonetics T3/04E hybrids with different compressors. Both of them are BB:

Can I switch the compressors on these without having to rebalance the unit?

Sorry I dont have an answer for this question, but where in the world have you been?

you can switch the compressor but i still would get it balanced. Just being off a little bit on turbo that spinsover 20000 rpm is scary.

That is kinda what I was thinking. There just isn't any convienent way to get it balanced around here. Kinda like the rest of the project. Utah sucks, the only thing that sustains itself around here is the Mormon population!

Here is a pic of what has been keeping me away for a while:

It is a shot I took during preliminary fitting tests. The car has seen alot of changes during these last several weeks. Unfortunately, I only get to play with it some evenings and weekends (the same few moments I used to get to play with you guys). There is, however, light at the end of this tunnel.

Paul: Yeah, I got a total for the Haltech... It's less than the header cost too. It might even be less than the intake manifold cost. I'll mail ya in the AM...

Hmmm... You cannot easily change the compressor wheel on a BB turbo like you can on a regular bushing. There is something about it that makes it impossible. Turbonetics has to do it. No one else can.

Both Marks From what Majectic stated it is possible but not reccommend do to balancing issues. Called them up today regarding this situation.

You called Majestic about this Viren?

They always tell me that the whole assembly has to be machined and balanced at Turbonetics. That they cannot do it there. That is why they cannot put the "bullets" on BB turbos either.

I called the guy in Irving... over here.it can be done but needs maching work.

Smashback

Is there somebody in Irving that works on turbos? I need to send my T3 cartridge off at the end of the week to be converted to a T3/4, and it would be nice to get another shop's price!

my question still stands... HOW THE HELL DO U CHECK THE OIL WITH THAT MANIFOLD?

looks good though... what kind of int. mani are u putting on?

B20C5 Turbo

Oil? What's that?

Actually, I have gently tapped the dipstick tube out of the block, added more of a bend to it, and tapped it back in pointing to the drivers side.
