So i picked up a "blown" pte 6265 for $150 with a plan to send it off to PureTurbos and have them do a simple rebuild, which would give me a nice turbo with a warranty for around $500.. sounded good. :lol:

So apparently the shaft is bent and the compressor wheel is a little chewed up, not sure if this happened when it bent or if it took in debris and some other point, but i found out i needed a whole new center section and the 62mm wheels are very pricey..

I was told the cheapest route i could go would be to have a new center section put in with a custom fitted gtx3582 wheel for $700. which would put me around $900 invested after shipping back and forth, which is more than i could get a brand new one for..

think i should just sell the housings to re-coop my $$$? have PureTurbos build a custom gtx center section? open to any other suggestions, comments, concerns, advice..

 

 

Just get a new one at that rate, and resell the housings to make up for your losses.

 

figured so. well, If anyones interested here you go.. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Precision-62...item337ef7485f

 

Have you tried calling precision and find out what a rebuild would cost ? Otherwise part it out sell the housings and junk the CHRA

 

They offered my buddy $150 off a new one if he sent it in, so he sold it to me for that. Truthfully, I really just don't want precision to rebuild it..

 

That's a good idea.. Best option instead of BSing on eBay, HOPING..

 

yeah id send it in and take 150 off a new one

 

 

Yay for compressor wheel flex

You can always give me the compressor housing :p

 

Hahaha sweet lamp.


I'll call precision tomorrow to see what they have to say

 

that...actually ...is ****** awesome

 

Lol, that is amazing. Now that's how to use a Precision turbo !

 

That lamp is the greatest thing I have ever seen on the internet today

 

WTF? How does it stay upright?

 

This picture was the first thing that popped into my head when I read "what to do with a 6265 with a bent shaft". Looks like someone beat me to it

 

It's almost never worth it to rebuild unless something really minor is bad like a oil seal.

Do this: Make lamp, sell lamp, use money to buy new turbo.

 

Wow love the lamp. I just may have to build one with my spare ebay turbo I never used lol. I was doing to build one of those turbo turbine jet engines with it lol. You guys ever see those? That looks like fun too. Maybe you could do that with your broken Precision too.

 

Weld it to a Stock accord manifold and try to use it.

With the wobble, i don't think it'll even get out of vacuum. Hahahaha

 

talked to precision, this thing is trashed and so is the compressor housing. deleted the ebay listing, time to make a lamp. lol

 

Post up a build thread for it please.

 

Pictures dood. Pleaase. I had an extra T3 that would have made a good lamp.

 

Wait, all you guys have never seen that picture? Lol, it's almost as old as HT
So I guess you haven't seen the crank lamp either

It's held up by bar stock, that's what the cable is wrapped around

 

I sure hadn't. I've seen coffee tables made from engine blocks and all sorts of other engine decorations but never the turbo lamp or a crank lamp lol.
