Ever rebuilt a T25?

[xelderx]

I found out my recently purchased used T25 is blowing oil. I have the ability and tools to rebuild it myself. I just wanted to see if anyone else had done this or had any leads on good rebild kits. I found this webpage that has a really good how-to on rebuilding the T25 from a Saab. I'm assuming the internals on the MSP T25 are the same.

Only tip I can think of, is the nut on the turbine shaft comes OFF CLOCKWISE it's reverse of normal. Most new wheels are balanced seperately, so there's nothing special to "align" or anything. I say go for it.

I'll be working on it soon. I found another used T25 from a 300ZX turbo that has good seals so I'm going to use it. I just have to change the outer housings to match up with the MSP exhaust.

MSP T25 is not the same. It is actually a GT25r, which is dual ball bearing.... This means you need to replace the center cartridge, or have it professionally rebuilt, which is going to cost more than your willing to spend. I would suggest searching here and on ebay for another used one.

Hm....I thought the MSP was just a T25. Crap...Looks like I won't be getting the car drivable this summer.

Seriously...at this point I'm halfway convinced to just part it out/sell it and work on my 260Z.

Don't be a pussy... Tough it out! It's worth it, trust me!

I have replaced only the center cartridge, it's about half the cost of New.

The center comes from the factory balanced.

I won't be able to afford that for a few months. I spent all of my spare money on getting this far and it cost me about $300 more than I was expecting due to a mix up over the turbo manifold.
