Ive just brought a t3 turbo (off a rb20det) and when its on the angle im mounting it the oil feed and drain isnt straight up and down, when looking at it from the side the feed is at position 10 on a clock and the drain is 4 on a clock lol if you get what i mean its not straight up and down, is this ok or does it have to be perfectly straight?

A rule of thumb is that it has to be within 15 degrees from dead straight (each side).

Oh well mine is more like 45 deg, i know i can spin the compressor side of the turbo around but what about the exhaust side of it? Ive taken the braces off and it looks like one peice?

I've never seen a turbo that has a 1 piece (core to exhaust housing).

But then I havin't seen much turbos.

You'll have to ask someone else from here onwards.

you should be able to move both, my t3 (not off skyline) has a bolted exhaust housing, and like retaining plates on the compressor, i can rotate the exhaust by taking out all the bolts 6 and move it round to the next hole that lines up. put bolts back in

hope it helps, if they are similar

Yea mine has those 6 bolts with the plates too, i took them off and i think its rusted up and looks almost like its 1 peice.. i guess it wouldnt have bolts there holing nothing would they.... lol

it should come off, tape it lightly with a soft face hammer, just make sure you dont damage the turbine wheel in the process,

goodluck

yea you definatly beable to unbolt the exhaust housing, they do seize up but a gentle tap here and there should fix it

by **trueno_20v** » Sat Feb 25, 2006 9:37 pm

Ive been tapping it and its not gonna move..what else can i try? Il get a pic tomorrow aswell

OMG so shiny! · by **Dell'Orto** » Sat Feb 25, 2006 9:44 pm

Give it a blast with 556, and let it sit overnight and see what happens.

by **strx7** » Sat Feb 25, 2006 10:49 pm

add some form of penetrive solution and let it sit, then use a heat gun to warm the exhuast housing causing it to slight expand, and it should come off.

by **trueno_20v** » Sun Feb 26, 2006 10:15 pm

well today i sprayed some 556 on there and heated it with the heat gun and tapped it off with the hammer, came off pretty easy..Got the housing off and saw that the exhaust wheel was buckled badly then it fell off!!!!!!Also noticed 5-6 cracks though the exhaust housing..so ended up taking the shaft out and it looks like it has been over heated..the shaft is gold and turns black as it gets closer to where the wheel onces was lol so now ive wasted $180 and am now looking for a new turbo (td05, td05h, tdo4??)

by **trueno_20v** » Mon Feb 27, 2006 9:40 pm

Ive found a TD05H 14B that ive basically brought, are they much smaller than the T3 off rb20det??

by **Steve123** » Tue Feb 28, 2006 7:53 pm

similar size really.

by **evil_si** » Tue Feb 28, 2006 8:27 pm

haha the nissan t3's are bad for that, ive destroyed a few by getting the exhaust housing off. not much you could have done really, stupid ceramic turbine.

does the exhaust housing have 04U cast on it anywere? if so i could be interested in buying it off ya..

by **sk1dlet** » Tue Feb 28, 2006 8:40 pm

Ill have a look after work for ya :wink:

rb20 turbo has a "t3 footprint" but flows closer to t25/28
td05 14b can hit 300hp with the boost wound up, and is alot tougher than the fickle rb garbage
Folks in the u.s. enjoy the challenge of taking their 3000 pound 2L mitsubishi awd street cars down the dragstrip in the 12sec zone. Many have done so with minimal mods - not bad for a 12-15 year old $100 oe turbo!
