i've seen vf35 turbo rebuild kits on ebay, just wondered if anyone has used one before ?

 

Errrrm no, if a vf35 is knackered then bin it and buy another one, they are classed as "disposable", not worth rebuilding (plus they are pretty cheap anyway)

harvey did get a kit and rebuild one but no idea what it cost though??

This place is in Jp but they sell what your after http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Turbo-Rebuild-...item1c15998793

 

Sorry ive just seen their address, they are based in Taiwan.

 

There based in Japan but ship from Taiwan for tax purposes the same as kando dynamics who sell the same stuff.

 

I'm pretty sure last time I looked at their site in (2010) their address was in Jp that's why I was sure they were a Jp company.

Thanks for clearing that up, I was at least sort of right in a way

 

Just looked at the kit as I am thinking about rebuilding my VF35. But to replace the bearings you have to take the impellers off. So surely this would mean the turbo would need to be rebalanced otherwise it will destroy itself due to the imbalance.

 

I fitted a td05 kit on my mates turbo a few years ago and marked the thread on the shaft the nut and the compressor wheel so they went back the same as they came off to keep the balance.Its done 20k since and is still fine although you can get them balanced after you rebuild for about if you £40 if you prefer.

 

I have rebuilt several VF35 turbos and not one has failed.
The practice BugeyeJohn describes above is exactly correct.
I have access to a blancer with a simulated 80,000 rpm speed and it is very rare that any assembly needs balancing.

 

harvey, how much to do you recharge to rebuild a vf35 and how long will it take ?

 

Only some can be rebuilt and until I examine it I cannot guess as to the price.
If everything is in stock, perhaps a week. If bits are required, typically two or three weeks.

 

can you pm me your contact details please harvey and i'll get the turbo sent out to you !

 

Ive got a vf35 and the exhaustturbines snapped off do you now were i could buym1 from cheers
